with a son who eats a ton of eggs. I have the 18pack carton usually. That is even more of an issue.

A girlfriend (a long time ago) used to empty her eggs into a Tupperware box - not an egg box, just a rectangular tub - so they all just rolled around whenever you moved the box. I think this ended the relationship... umm, perhaps there were other factors, but this was definitely one of them!

Doable only if you always take the egg furthest from you - extra work.
But the real question is about you:
Are your a citizen of Lilliput or Blefuscu?

only extra work at first. Towards the end when you have less energy it is easier and less work.
I honestly am not sure which I would be? It would be an accident of birth either way. and I don't think at 12" high I could swim the channel between.

Eggs unloaded 6-at-a-time into the built-in egg receptacles in the fridge door. Though of course I'm being controversial in storing them in the fridge at all. Not so much for coolness, more for safety. Egg storage has been an issue recently after SWMBO accidentally ordered TWO boxes of 15 (we normally order 2 boxes of 6 per week; she was ordering extra on purpose, but meant to get 1x15 not 2x15.) One of the risks of online shopping!

Eggactly!

I'm an A person here, based upon the likelihood of the carton collapsing or becoming physically unbalanced if the 'inside' eggs are used first.
I have previously lost eggs due to incautious carton balance management.

A. I practice load balancing.

It never occurred to me until I read this just now, but yeah, "load balancing" is exactly the perfect wording for it.

I'd go for B, but the other way around.
I take my eggs from the right side first, probably because I grab them with my right hand

I load them from top left in columns then rows cyclically. By the time that I have filled bottom right, top left has usually been used and is available to be reused again. Our chickens lay between 3 and 5 a day (between 0.6 and 1 each). Should the box become filled, I fill x6 boxes (with the newest ones) and give them to the neighbours / friends.
Do not store eggs in the fridge. The shells are porous and absorb strong odours. Keep them in a cool place.
Aside: I notice that I have used several 'ou' words throughout the text above (neighbours / odours) that the US have as 'o' words (neighbors / odors). So I was wondering if the other 'ou' words in the above (porous / should) are 'o' words in the US. And if 'throughout' has one 'ou' changed to 'o' but the other left intact. I am now thoroughly confused.

No - the UK/clones spell it porouus (for example) - the extra characters just give them something to do during those many dreary days.

I think (coming from a US upper midwestern non-linguist) it's mostly when followed by an r. When the "our" is pronounced like "ur", almost no vowel sound - colour pronounced as colur we spell it dropping the u: "color". It seems ironic as I think about it - if it's pronounced with a u we drop the u in the spelling. Unlike the proverbial child, it's heard not seen.
Other ou combinations remain as ou - those that I can think of off the top of my head anyway.

One can argue that in some circumstances, "A" is a little more drop-resistant. Your feelings are resisting this situation, but beyond this, the earlier mentioned option "D"on't care is probably best in relation to otherwise unnecessarily high blood pressure.

A or alternate holes. The uneven weight in B has caused more than one oops in the past for me.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'll go with A, simply because it makes the carton easier for me to handle. My wife likes B for the same reason.

Alternate removing eggs from each end, moving towards the middle: Constant location of the center of gravity no matter how many eggs have been removed, no matter how the carton is oriented.

That jogged my memory about something in sprint that I read. You can baton the fastest runners to win during the Japan Olympics.

The Color #000001 and the banner randomly in the middle of the page is a nice touch.
Not sure how to post though.
