That's only true if you plan on eating them within a couple days.
Nope.

In Costa Rica they always have the fresh eggs on the shelf in the corner stores.

The United States is one of the only countries to refrigerate eggs. Mostly due to how the eggs are farmed and then rinsed of protective coatings.
This. In the US, you have to refrigerate the eggs if they come via the industrial egg system
Where I live now, they don't refrigerate the eggs. It shocked me at first, but the eggs taste better.

You're right USDA says immediately refrigerate.

This condensation was speculated to facilitate the growth of bacteria on the shell, increasing the probability of bacteria making their way into the egg. The rules, therefore, stress that eggs should not be refrigerated before sale to the final consumer. However, there is no research to support this position. Recent research has shown that condensation, or "sweating," on eggs has no influence on the internal microbial population of properly washed eggs.

A recent multi-year study came to the same conclusion as Brant and Starr (1962) that egg washing should be strongly considered, but Europe decide to leave their regulations unchanged.

What does it mean when an egg floats in water? An egg can float in water when its air cell has enlarged sufficiently to keep it buoyant. This means the egg is old, but it may be perfectly safe to use. Crack the egg into a bowl and examine it for an off-odor or unusual appearance before deciding to use or discard it. A spoiled egg will have an unpleasant odor when you break open the shell, either when raw or cooked.

Eggs are trashy.

If it's a fresh egg you really don't need to refrigerate them.

Our fresh eggs sit in a basket on the counter until we are ready to eat them - nothing tastes better than fresh free range eggs

That's just the kind of witty repartee I'd expect from someone of your intelligence and common sense.

A friend of mine that used to live on a boat said they would keep them un-refrigerated, but flip them every few days to lengthen the shelf life. Apparently flipping them keeps the membrane moist which delays spoilage.
I wondered if that was truth or bullshite.

Crack it open. If it's green, stinks, or a baby chick pops out peeping, it's bad.
If you buy them refrigerated, keep them refrigerated. If you get them from the yard, you can do either, but refrigerating isn't necessary. Yard eggs FTW.

Only Americans refrigerate eggs. Has to do with how we process them before delivery to grocery stores. True story.
