Always eggs in the middle. Because when I pick it up I always want the center of the weight to be in the same place. If all the weight is to one side and I grab the opposite side I’m more likely to drop it. Yes this is how I live my life, by overanalyzing everything.
I also over analyze everything, which is why I always remove my eggs from the right side of the carton.
The left side of the carton is always towards me in the refrigerator, and I also always have the left side towards me on the counter.
As a result my first grab out of the fridge is always the most stable grab possible.
The way I figure it is, the most dangerous time is pulling it out of the fridge when I don’t always remember where the eggs are and where I have to grab it from one end. I don’t want to be surprised by it being heavy away from me.
Once I have it safely in my hand, I no longer have to consciously think about how to hold it, as that can all be done unconsciously.
I have a wife and kid so I can’t guarantee it goes back in how I want it to. But it’s good you have a system.

I guess I’m neutral good when it comes to eggs.
Almost out, picking up three more cartons tomorrow from my supplier of eggs from free range, grass fed, goat harassed happy hens.
The cartons are usually whatever my supplier happen to have there and then. Pretty standard egg cartons as sold at the store.
I usually use pairs as it’s fastest to mentally intuit how many eggs remain that way.
Lol “goat harassed”, time stamped and everything lmao
A couple of goats share the same forest as the hens. And knowing goats, there’s bound to be some harassment involved.
Normally, I work from one side to the other in pairs like below:
XX
OO
OO
OO
OO

I face the heavier side toward the door so that I will have the majority of the weight in my hand as I pick it up.
Currently full, but I work my way in from the outside corners to the inside by the hinge so it is balanced when I pick it up one handed. It might be slightly lopsided because I always pull multiple eggs next to each other with one hand, but mostly centered.
So it frequently looks something like this:
This is the way.
We use this thing instead of the carton.
My eggs are notarized homie, $10 each.
I don’t use eggs like that, but my housemate does. Looks like they take em from the carton one row at a time, the carton currently looks like:
1 1 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0Mine is chaos. I purposely grab them at random.
I normally eat scrambled eggs for breakfast so I always grab two at a time. So next time I make breakfast I’ll grab the next eggs from the right side.
Normally like this, but we ate them all yesterday.Checkerboard! Keeps it level if I keep the pattern.
I did once replaced half the brown eggs with white eggs and visa versa to screw with my partner. It didn’t work. I was just weird.
Back 3 rows are full, front row is empty. Can’t be effed to balance em.
I have 4 eggs left and they’re all right in the middle, 2 in the top row, 2 in the bottom row, to create balance in the flimsy container they came in.
