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.
There is always a relevant xkcd.
Per this example I’m lawful good
I disagree with most of those. Lawful neutral is evil for example, as it imbalances the carton away from the hinge.
I do also balance the carton. Not always absolute symmetry but don’t want someone to drop them.
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.
This is the way!
I do this too for weight distribution, but I don’t make sure it’s symmetrical. I’m worried someone in my family will be surprised by the uneven weight of the carton when they pull it off the shelf and drop it.
not autistic but I picked up a very unbalanced egg carton once and realized we shouldn’t have unbalanced egg cartons. it’s just sensible.
now kick your egg balancing autism into high gear to start balancing electrons on atoms to discover new elements.
or balance the number of molecules to create a new type of crystal that cures cancer.
or…you get the picture.
I guess a three-egg omelette is out of the question then
Balance is everything, I don’t want the carton to flip on me cause the eggs are placed randomly
I kind of have both, just learn to enjoy the beauty of symmetry.
I remember my sister dropping the last of the eggs casue one side was heavy. She was so upset.
Why do this.

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.
Perhaps this person would be better employed as a tanker mate; that’s bang-on distribution to avoid hogging or sagging.
Cool. Now if you were to stack these eggs in 3D, would you create an hcp or an fcc lattice?
