This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn’t evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.

    I’m positive there is a correlation between ocd and autism. This seems like it’s hinting at a more ocd thing. Still it’s not entirely irrational itself.

    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’ve never seen a pack smaller than 2x3. I buy at least two dozen a week. I make sure partial cartons are weight balanced though.

          I have! I’d have to buy three of them though just to cook a small breakfast for the people sleeping in my house tonight. I’m usually making breakfast for six.

    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

      EVEN NUMBERS ONLY! 15? Are you fucking kidding me? They come in 6, 12, or 18, or those big 30 squares. EVEN NUMBERS!

      Who packs them in odd must suffer the wrath of the gods of the autists!

    YOU’RE A GENIUS ! I take eggs out starting by one end and it always feels super weird to have an unbalanced carton, I’ll have to try your method.

    Balance is everything, I don’t want the carton to flip on me cause the eggs are placed randomly

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

    Why do this.

    Huh… I do this too. I like the box to be balanced when I take it outta the fridge.

      Chaotic good here.

      Yep, I’m an Autist.

      … Also had a mom with pretty severe OCD, so I always remember that ‘good enough is good enough’, in scenarios like this.

      EDIT:

      … Also also, I find the lawful evil solution to be utterly diabolical and actually makes me angry just being exposed to it conceptually… which I guess does make sense, opposite sections of the chart.

        Did your mom also have a neverending project of slowly removing the old layers of lead paint from the inside of the house by scraping it off a little at a time with a razor blade?

      My wife insists on true neutral and I can’t think of a worse way of doing it. I try to counterbalance with lawful good whenever I have eggs, bit I’m always playing catch up…

      I disagree with most of those. Lawful neutral is evil for example, as it imbalances the carton away from the hinge.

        Knowing Randall, I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually got his own DnD group, or conducted some sort of poll, where he actually asked people already in certain alignment categories to describe their own egg carton balancing patterns… or lack thereof.

        That would come closer to the actual alignments self representing…

        But also I have no idea, this is just my head canon now rofl.

      According to this I am chaotic neutral, not sure what that means? I aim to balance the weight evenly, when pulling out of the fridge, the carton stays level.

        I use Lawful Good for the same reason. Both keep the center of weight in the middle, but your method is more evenly distributed.

    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.
