I usually create checkered patterns to keep a consistent weight balance and keep box strength strength against external force evenly spread.

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

When I eat grapes, I like to eat two at a time, and end with an even number. I throw away the last grape if it's not an even number. Why? #JustAutieThings.

So you always have to take a multiple of two eggs? Well it’s unarguably visually pleasing

It makes the carton easier to handle and less likely to tear and drop.

I remember my sister dropping the last of the eggs casue one side was heavy. She was so upset.

Why do this.

Huh, maybe I should give it a try…..

I guess a three-egg omelette is out of the question then

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 always take them out symmetrically and front row first, if possible.

I keep the eggs away from the corners, most likely to get damaged imo

Cool. Now if you were to stack these eggs in 3D, would you create an hcp or an fcc lattice?

Tend to get eggs in a box of six: front corners first, then the rear corners and then the centre eggs.

I'm not in America so my eggs can live outside the fridge, it's mostly about making sure someone doesn't knock the box and crack an egg accidentally.

I take supplements in the evening and it got so boring taking out the pills from top to bottom, left to right. So now I'm doing various patterns, usually symmetric.

Thanks, now I feel not quite so absurd.

Apparently seating on aircraft is allocated similarly.

Perhaps this person would be better employed as a tanker mate; that's bang-on distribution to avoid hogging or sagging.

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

I only buy boxes of 2x2. I suppose the only way is to get all four out at the same time.
