    Which is correct? Egg Storage[^] I am sooo totally a B person myself. And you put the carton in so the eggs are in the side closest to the person. So when you grab them they aren’t over balanced away from you and onto the floor. I dislike A intensely. and I really do not know why. My family is just wrong though. They don’t have a system. Grab them out of the middle half the time.

    Use a smaller eggbox: 6 eggs makes it more manageable. :-D

      Doable only if you always take the egg furthest from you - extra work. But the real question is about you: Are your a citizen of Lilliput or Blefuscu?

            only extra work at first. Towards the end when you have less energy it is easier and less work. I honestly am not sure which I would be? It would be an accident of birth either way. and I don't think at 12" high I could swim the channel between.

                      Eggs unloaded 6-at-a-time into the built-in egg receptacles in the fridge door. Though of course I'm being controversial in storing them in the fridge at all. Not so much for coolness, more for safety. Egg storage has been an issue recently after SWMBO accidentally ordered TWO boxes of 15 (we normally order 2 boxes of 6 per week; she was ordering extra on purpose, but meant to get 1x15 not 2x15.) One of the risks of online shopping!

                          I'm an A person here, based upon the likelihood of the carton collapsing or becoming physically unbalanced if the 'inside' eggs are used first. I have previously lost eggs due to incautious carton balance management.

                              It never occurred to me until I read this just now, but yeah, "load balancing" is exactly the perfect wording for it. I can now rest easy. :-)

                                  I'd go for B, but the other way around. I take my eggs from the right side first, probably because I grab them with my right hand :omg:

                                    I load them from top left in columns then rows cyclically. By the time that I have filled bottom right, top left has usually been used and is available to be reused again. Our chickens lay between 3 and 5 a day (between 0.6 and 1 each). Should the box become filled, I fill x6 boxes (with the newest ones) and give them to the neighbours / friends. Do not store eggs in the fridge. The shells are porous and absorb strong odours. Keep them in a cool place. Aside: I notice that I have used several 'ou' words throughout the text above (neighbours / odours) that the US have as 'o' words (neighbors / odors). So I was wondering if the other 'ou' words in the above (porous / should) are 'o' words in the US. And if 'throughout' has one 'ou' changed to 'o' but the other left intact. I am now thoroughly confused.

                                      Which is correct? Egg Storage[^] I am sooo totally a B person myself. And you put the carton in so the eggs are in the side closest to the person. So when you grab them they aren’t over balanced away from you and onto the floor. I dislike A intensely. and I really do not know why. My family is just wrong though. They don’t have a system. Grab them out of the middle half the time.

                                      One can argue that in some circumstances, "A" is a little more drop-resistant. Your feelings are resisting this situation, but beyond this, the earlier mentioned option "D"on't care is probably best in relation to otherwise unnecessarily high blood pressure.

                                        I load them from top left in columns then rows cyclically. By the time that I have filled bottom right, top left has usually been used and is available to be reused again. Our chickens lay between 3 and 5 a day (between 0.6 and 1 each). Should the box become filled, I fill x6 boxes (with the newest ones) and give them to the neighbours / friends. Do not store eggs in the fridge. The shells are porous and absorb strong odours. Keep them in a cool place. Aside: I notice that I have used several 'ou' words throughout the text above (neighbours / odours) that the US have as 'o' words (neighbors / odors). So I was wondering if the other 'ou' words in the above (porous / should) are 'o' words in the US. And if 'throughout' has one 'ou' changed to 'o' but the other left intact. I am now thoroughly confused.

                                        No - the UK/clones spell it porouus (for example) - the extra characters just give them something to do during those many dreary days.

                                          A or alternate holes. The uneven weight in B has caused more than one oops in the past for me.

                                          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
