Do you own eggs or get your eggs fresh from a local chicken farmer? The truly are, *chef's kiss,* so good! That being said, sometimes these chicken farmers have inhaled too much of that chicken feed and get a little nutty about selling their eggs—eggspecially right now where eggs are still very eggspensive. (I AM NOT APOLOGIZING FOR THE EGG PUNS. Buckle up, buddies. There will be PLENTY more.) For a quick little chicken lesson, many chickens during the colder months stop laying eggs. It's just part of their evolution, so they can conserve energy. This means that egg-mongers have several months where they don't have a steady supply of their goods. So what can they do?

Well, according to this Reddit story, this egg-monger decided to sell her eggs but make her customers promise to return them if she ran out and needed them, for NO MONEY BACK. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure that is not how a business works… OP said she had to blink twice before what the egg-monger said registered in her brain. She admits she still feels like she took some crazy pills after the whole situation. The egg monger got upset at her when she said she would only return them for a refund, and that's IF she hasn't eaten them yet. The egg monger was not happy with her. What a wild world? What are in those eggs??

    This situation is so dumb and I'm so confused. I feel like I'm the crazy one! I have a lady I buy my eggs from, instead of buying eggs from the store. Yesterday I went to pick up a couple of dozen, like I usually do. She told me she might run out and if she does she'll want the eggs back... Lol what? Not buy

    them back, but she expects me to just give them back. I was confused, because won't her chickens still be laying eggs every day? I admit I don't know much about chickens. I clarified that she was meaning she would ask me for the eggs back that I just bought. She

    says yes. I told her to just keep one of the dozens if she thought she would run out. She needed the couple bucks she was getting from me for the eggs, so not selling them to me wasn't an option. I said ok, but you'll be refunding me the money I spent if I have to give them back. She got

    mad! She expected me to pay her for these eggs and then just give them back to her for free when she runs out! Am I wrong? Am I the crazy one here? After this

    interaction, I'm going back to just buying them at the store, cause this doesn't seem right. It's hilarious and irritating. Edit- she wasn't meaning give her the egg cartons back. I use my own cartons.

    If she needed the cartons I had, I would have given them to her. I've saved those for her in the past. She was definitely meaning she wanted me to give her the eggs back and that she wouldn't be giving me my money back.

    203 Top-Bit85 1 day ago · What? Maybe just buy your eggs at the supermarket. She is not worth the trouble. I'm sure her eggs are fresher, and that you are trying to support an independent. but she can't sell you something, then demand it back, no refund. Not how business works.

    ● GrannyWeatherwaxscat 1 day ago You can have them back but you'll need to give me 24 hours for digestive transit. They won't be in their shells and the colour will have changed, but they might smell the same.
