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.

      The problem now is living with someone who doesn’t do this and then you expect it to be balanced because you take the time and effort to be precise as a show of appreciation for the others around you so they don’t befall the same fate that YOU now must suffer as you discover the eggs are now unbalanced and they spill all over the floor, because they didn’t happen to hyper focus these exact thoughts and how could they be so inconsiderate after you put in so much effort to focus on this to prevent this exact situation

      Bro life is too exhausting wtf

        I also like to maintain balance in containers as well for just these reasons, but after years of living with people who didn’t share that preference, I learned to lift a container in place, then pull it out. That way I am cognizant of its balance before taking significant risk.
