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

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.

So I was hoping to be one of the first people to sign up to (F)Rank? a social media platform that has been hyped and rehyped after the initial launch failed.

There it is, in all of its glory. 
The Color #000001 and the banner randomly in the middle of the page is a nice touch.
Not sure how to post though.
Guys, this is a case study in doing literally everything wrong with a website project.
Edit: It's using a Drupal stack as its backend! I can tell because it crashed.

The creator of it claims he spent "millions" to make it the most secure site ever.
I guess he was right. Nobody can log in, and there's nothing to hack. 
He should have given me those millions of dollars. I would have done him the favor of telling him his idea was a loser and saved him the embarrassment.

Personally, I don't think that he possesses that human frailty that enables us to feel embarrassed.

That one's deliberately bad though - they accomplished what they set out to do, hence not a failure.

But that website actually works. So minus several failpoints for being functional.
