There is good news: eggs that are difficult to peel are often farm-fresh. With fresh eggs there is no air between the eggshell and the membrane. The egg white is therefore very close to the shell, which makes peeling difficult: you either pull pieces of egg with it or a dull membrane remains around the egg.

Yeah, luck of the draw when peeling eggs in my experience. However, I do find that if you plunge your eggs into already boiling water (rather than boiling from cold) helps when it comes to peeling, but you also risk the eggs cracking whilst cooking. So, swings and roundabouts. Having iced water ready to put the eggs in as soon as they're cooked is a good idea. Also, peeling from the blunt end first enables you to get your fingers under the membrane. But, really, in the long run, you're in the lap of the egg-shell gods.
