This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn’t evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.
I keep the eggs away from the corners, most likely to get damaged imo
now kick your egg balancing autism into high gear to start balancing electrons on atoms to discover new elements.
or balance the number of molecules to create a new type of crystal that cures cancer.
or…you get the picture.
They clearly don’t get any other picture. No one balances eggs… EVER
I balance eggs…
Huh… I do this too. I like the box to be balanced when I take it outta the fridge.
I only buy boxes of 2x2. I suppose the only way is to get all four out at the same time.
I do this because the weight distribution is even so i don’t drop the carton when grabbing it out of the fridge again
Or you just put the heavy end facing the door of the refrigerator so you always are picking up the heavy end and not the empty end. It should be that way anyways if you’re putting the eggs in the fridge because you’d also want to be holding the stable end of the carton and not the empty side.
I used to do it that way but other people in the house dont so I’ve switched to spreading it out
But what if all the ends are stable and there is no empty side?
Then you don’t have teenagers that are taking eggs from the carton to make scrambled eggs at 10pm. They happen to put the eggs back in correctly because they need the sturdy side to handle them. I don’t need to teach them fractal patterns to take eggs out.
How are you going to rearrange the eggs when you take out the next egg?
Start from the corners one at a time.
I first heard of this a couple years ago on a reddit post. It had never occurred to me to think that an egg carton should be balanced, or to expect an egg carton to be balanced when I pick it up.
I still don’t worry about the balance, but I get it.
I don’t even take them out of the same lateral side of the carton, just pick at random

You’ll bring chaos into your house rumba!
I have a teen and a tween, we are at max entropy already
I usually create checkered patterns to keep a consistent weight balance and keep box strength strength against external force evenly spread.
For me I have to take them out in an even number otherwise I will have a feeling that is going to hang onto me until I rectify it ASAP.
Also they must be taken out from one specific side and not the other. The balance must be maintained!
The other day, in another thread about eggs (damn we talk a lot about eggs lately!) someone mentioned a 15 egg pack. WTF is wrong with your countries!! The natural egg set is 12. a dozen! because, 12 is the logical… Because 12 eggs is… Hmmm. we don’t have twelve fingers, or toes… Why dafuq do we use dozens? I mean, even decimal months make more sense
EVEN NUMBERS ONLY! 15? Are you fucking kidding me? They come in 6, 12, or 18, or those big 30 squares. EVEN NUMBERS!
Who packs them in odd must suffer the wrath of the gods of the autists!
I do this all the time but for some reason don’t feel compelled to drag the entire internet through my process to make me feel better every time…
Is ADHD supposed to be a social coping mechanism?
This whole sub is just bunch of folks complaining about habits…
Why is this an ADHD thing? Other folks have habits yet spare the world from suffering their internal mechanisms… Is ADHD just forcing others to hear your habits?
I do that all the time. The eggs MUST BE balanced.
So you always have to take a multiple of two eggs? Well it’s unarguably visually pleasing
T’was the tism m’lord
You try to take the egg carton out of the fridge and it’s unbalanced ONE TIME…
The problem now is living with someone who doesn’t do this and then you expect it to be balanced because you take the time and effort to be precise as a show of appreciation for the others around you so they don’t befall the same fate that YOU now must suffer as you discover the eggs are now unbalanced and they spill all over the floor, because they didn’t happen to hyper focus these exact thoughts and how could they be so inconsiderate after you put in so much effort to focus on this to prevent this exact situation
Bro life is too exhausting wtf
I also like to maintain balance in containers as well for just these reasons, but after years of living with people who didn’t share that preference, I learned to lift a container in place, then pull it out. That way I am cognizant of its balance before taking significant risk.
Eggs all over the floor! Especially if the carton is also not quite hooked shut, or slightly creased.
