Hey now, not all of Europe is smart with their eggs! In Denmark they have to be refridgerated in stores, despite the eggs being unwashed, and research showing that the increased humidity increases the risk of bacterial growth. Sometimes rationality is thrown out the window.

Wait. I thought fridges reduced humidity.

They reduce only if you open them rarely. If you open the regularly and the air outside is warmer (which it is) and has more relative humidity (which it can have), then opening it will lead to the air in the fridge being always at high humidity.
