Stop washing your eggs right after collecting them - you're Removing the bloom

I kept wondering why my eggs were going bad after just a week in the fridge. Turns out that natural coating (the bloom) keeps them fresh for weeks on the counter. I used to scrub em clean right away like a dummy. Now I just brush off dirt with a dry paper towel and leave em unwashed until I'm ready to cook. Been storing them on the counter for 2 months now with ZERO issues. Anyone else make this mistake?

Did you try storing them pointy side down or does that not matter either?

Doesn't everything we do just end up being some weird habit we picked up somewhere?
