    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.
