a) Eggs come in 6 or a dozen. Fridge has little shelf with holes for 8 eggs.
b) I always feel as if a supermarket employee is gonna get really offended, and start telling me I can't open the eggs to check they're not cracked. They won't, because they honestly couldn't give a fuck, they're just trying to get through their shift. But the feeling is there. Egganoia makes me feel as if the security cameras are zooming in, though, making sure I don't pocket an egg. "Hey, we saw video of a woman in a supermarket in Russia shoving a raw chicken up her hoo-hah! It's not impossible you might wanna pocket an egg, fella!"
You don't need to fridge eggs, if they are not opened. ~~The skin under the shell~~ bloom is there to protect the intended chicken from yeast and bacteria.
Edit: ok, the "bloom" outside mostly, if you don't wash it off. I only know eggs unrefigerated so far. And colored ones, them are cooled ...and also nasty and hard to peel.
This is not correct, according to the states, and generally seems incorrect as well. The "bloom" on the outside of an unwashed egg protects the insides. In the US, eggs sold in grocery stores are washed so they have to be refrigerated.

This is only true for American eggs because you guys fuck up the eggs by "washing" them. The rest of the world is not as dumb, and these normal unwashed eggs can live on the counter for a while, no problem. They stay fresh longer while in the fridge either way.
Well dude, i dont know how to appease you. I pointed out that it was a states thing and I pointed out that it had to do with washed eggs. I even bolded "unwashed" from the get go.
Further i believe other countries take care to treat their birds for salmonella, whereas the states just wash the eggs.
I have hens so my eggs are cloaca to counter. No sweat off my sack.
woah are you from china?
