    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. :-)

      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.

        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.

            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.

              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.

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

                  I'll go with A, simply because it makes the carton easier for me to handle. My wife likes B for the same reason.

                    Alternate removing eggs from each end, moving towards the middle: Constant location of the center of gravity no matter how many eggs have been removed, no matter how the carton is oriented.

                      I think (coming from a US upper midwestern non-linguist) it's mostly when followed by an r. When the "our" is pronounced like "ur", almost no vowel sound - colour pronounced as colur we spell it dropping the u: "color". It seems ironic as I think about it - if it's pronounced with a u we drop the u in the spelling. Unlike the proverbial child, it's heard not seen. Other ou combinations remain as ou - those that I can think of off the top of my head anyway.

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

                        A girlfriend (a long time ago) used to empty her eggs into a Tupperware box - not an egg box, just a rectangular tub - so they all just rolled around whenever you moved the box. I think this ended the relationship... umm, perhaps there were other factors, but this was definitely one of them!

                        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
