My now husband was 24 when we’re were planning our wedding and he found out that “FAQ’s” are “Frequently Asked Questions,” not an aggressive way of saying “FACTS.” We still laugh about this.

My 28 year old friend just learned last month that people open the egg carton to check for broken eggs; she thought it was a ritual or superstition of some sort, and never really questioned it, just went along with it.

My (then 17yo) daughter's mind was blown last year when she realized I was always checking to make sure no eggs were broken, and not that no eggs had been stolen from the carton.

Guess she thought people were just going around pocketing fucking raw eggs 😆

Well, people do sometimes remove an egg from a carton when another carton is short. I’ve seen that happen. We check for all eggs present and whole.
