That's what she said. That's what she said. That's what she said. That's what she said.

0:11.0

Welcome to That's what she said. Conversations with interesting people from the world

0:15.0

with sports, music, comedy and more. Talk about their lives, careers, successes and failures.

0:21.0

I'm Steve Russian and my dilemma is how to store the eggs in an FMT egg carton.

0:26.0

I like to spread them out to disperse the weight. My wife insists on keeping them in meat orderly rows,

0:33.0

which means when you reach into the fridge to pull the eggs out, the eggs are tipping.

0:37.0

I don't have to tell you that when an egg carton tips bad things can happen.

So your way seems pretty inarguably better and smarter and supported by common sense.

1:20.0

But I guess the dilemma you need me to solve is not really about egg placement

1:24.0

and more about how not to annoy your wife.

1:27.0

And so the answer to that is if she's been presented with the right way to do it,

1:30.0

which I'll give it to you is absolutely yours.

1:32.0

And yet she decides to keep doing things her way, then you have to accept this tiny little disagreement

1:38.0

and just let her keep doing it wrong.

1:41.0

It is in fact on you now to remember that the carton may be weighted all to one side
