    I always remove the eggs in the Fibonacci sequence first until I run out of indices, and then I remove them in order by index.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      That’s the same reason that I do the opposite - I take an equal number from each end, so the remaining eggs are centered in the carton, so I’m never surprised by a carton that’s unbalanced in an unexpected direction.

      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.

    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:

    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.
