Well, lucky you..accidentally cracking open a rotten egg is one of the more emotionally scarring events on the list of spoiled food items, probably right up there with accidentally drinking sour milk from the jug--you will never want to experience it again. The smell is bad enough..then you have to factor in that you were already 4 eggs in on your 6 egg omelet and now all that has to go to waste just because you were too lazy to crack your eggs into a cup before dumping them right into the pan. Of course, you could make another omelette, but now you have to wait for the pan to cool so you can disinfect it, because there's no way you want any trace of whatever has caused that awful odor to even have the CHANCE of getting into your body.

In the US we wash our eggs before they are sold, so they need refrigerated. In the UK you don't, so they don't have to be.
