I haven't purchased eggs in years.

Every time I do, they always go bad before I can use them all, so I stopped buying them. I wish stores would let you buy individual eggs.

Lol.

My wife insists on an even distribution pull from the center. Can't take a photo at the moment. She insists that an imbalance in the carton makes her more likely to drop it in the morning

Chaos. I grab eggs at random, without consideration for symmetry!

Can't take a picture. Egg prices quadrupled where I am so I haven't bought them in months. But it could have looked something like this:

x0000x xx000x

I don't have any right now but I typically take them out on opposite corners, then work towards the middle. Like this.

(1) (5) (9) (12) (8) (4)

(3) (7) (11) (10) (6) (2)

I don't eat eggs anymore but I used to checkerboard them

I can't afford eggs right now but what i usually did was immediately hard boil half of them, eat two of those and put the rest back in the carton. the hard boiled half always stayed on the right half of the carton, because with the layout of my kitchen, that is the side closer to my oven, so i would know which half are hard boiled.

Checkerboard

Oh yay I get to post the relevant XKCD! https://xkcd.com/2408/

Can't seem to upload photos for some reason :\ but slots 1 and 6 are empty

It depends how I shove the tray back in. I add eggs to them more often than I take them out.

Currently I’m sorting my quail eggs between small and large because I’m going to use the small ones for chive blossom pickled eggs, and the large for a big batch of cookies, but usually they just end up wherever they fit, one tray at a time.

My chickens are going to be another month or two before they start laying.
