It's a conspiracy.

You take the first egg from the box. It's slightly difficult to get hold of it properly because only the top part is sticking up out of the carton, but your fingers are dry and you manage OK. You crack it into the frying pan.

You reach for the second egg. This time your fingers are slightly wet from cracking the first egg but you still manage to lift it out of the box and hang on to it until the exact moment when it is over the 3in gap between the kitchen top and the cooker, then it slips from your grasp and falls, making a sticky mess in the most inaccessible place possible.

Does this happen every time? No, because then you would remember and be more careful, so it happens around once every third day, or about 100 times a year.

Does it happen when the egg box is full? No. It usually happens when there are only two eggs left in the box, so not only do you have to clean up an inaccessible mess, but you are left with just one egg to share between two slices of toast.

Coincidence? I think not.

Crack it into a cup instead of frying pan.

Well that's what any sensible, thinking person would do.

What difference does where you crack it make FFS?

I refer the cantankerous gentleman to his previous remark re mess in inaccessible places.

FYP

He'll never admit he is wrong.

ALWAYS crack my eggs in a bowl before frying.
Easier to remove the inevitable bits of shell and allows me to reject any with broken yolk.
Worth the extra washing up

Mmmmm, HP Brien Sauce and egg yolk mixed. Best taste in the world.
Gods, I'm starving.

Inevitable shell, busted yolk? What do you crack them with, a hammer?


Shell is not inevitable if you crack it properly, and what pray happens to your 'rejected' eggs?

Pancake time innit.

Large "squeezable" sauce bottles.
Its impossible to get the last 6th or so out of the bottle.
And they are made of such low grade plastic when you drop them on the floor they split and make a mess anyway.

 You don't stand them upside-down on the lid?

Why is it men never get anything done?

Of course, but that last bit still don't come out.
You squeeze the bottle and it just farts air and deposits no sauce at all.

[DropTheHammer]

You stand it on top of the opened new bottle (overnight) you've bought and used a little before the old one gets too low to use.
