How do you store your drinking glasses?

Do you store your drinking glasses in the cupboard upside-down or right-side-up?

I'm an upside-down kind of person. That's how I was raised. Now my oldest (who frequently is in charge of unloading the dishwasher) insists that they should be stored right side up. His thinking is that when they are stored upside-down any moisture inside the cup will stay trapped inside. I say, if they are store right-side up, all that moisture will drip to the bottom of the glass and there will be a puddle when someone goes to get a glass. (This isn't normall an issue, but our dishwasher is behaving poorly and I'm frequenly washing the glasses by hand now and putting them away slightly damp.)

Your thoughts on this weighty issue?

 

Glasses in my china cabinet go in right-side-up. It looks nicer through the glass.
The everyday glasses in the cupboard go in right-side-down. The reason is because the glasses in the cupboard take a lot of abuse and fall easier when they are right-side-up. Right-side-down gives them a bit more stability in the cupboard.

Cups go in the cupboard right-side-up. I have no rhyme or reason for cups.
Hmmm, now I need to go examine my cupboards.

 

I am an upside down person. Same thing, let the water drip down. This made me laugh because it reminded me of how my ds is driven crazy when he goes to a friend's house and uses the restroom and her toilet paper goes the opposite direction as ours. He insisted that I tell her the way it is supposed to go. He is driven insane after using the restroom at her house. Even funnier is when I brought it up to her, she had no clue which way she put it in, she never put it one way or the other. She told me he is free to fix it whenever he is in there.:lol:

 

They MUST be right side up. I will twitch like a crazy person if they are put away upside down.

 

I'm with you're kid - our dishwasher does not dry very well, so we put ours up all the time otherwise they stay sweaty. If we leave them up they dry out.

Sorry.

 

Half and half.

Our glasses are wider at the top than the bottom, so if I put every-other one up then down, they fit better in the cabinet.


(I know, I know... I have to be the odd one out)

 

Right side up! (I also put the toilet paper on correctly...with it rolled behind instead of in front, lol!)

 

we do right side up. I was paranoid when I was teen and wouldn't use cups that were upside down because I had read somewhere that there are a lot of germs on cupboard shelves and if the glasses were placed upside down all the germs would be on the rim...
It doesn't bother me now either way.

 

Actually, this is what I started doing too. Sort of as a compromise and sort of to make more room.

 

My dh says he doesn't care about the direction of the toilet paper either, but he consistently does it the wrong way (on the few occasions that he actually changes it). I said, "C'mon. Really? You don't pay attention to that?" But that means he's okay with me changing the direction of it.

 

This must be a typo. You're not saying that the paper going down the back is the correct way, are you??!!!

 

Ew. Yuck. Don't tell son this. He's a complete germfreak.

 

Mom had some Coke glasses that were wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. They would fit best by alternating them, which made them kinda "nest" against each other.

 

It HAS to come over the top!:lol:

 

Only a person who likes Obama would say otherwise!!!

 

I was raised in a restaurant family, and at "work" the glasses and cups were right side down so multiple stacking could occur. (Stacking glasses inside each other while damp made for many "wedgies"- hard to remove glasses.) I'm not sure I paid much attention to my home cupboards until we had kids. I'd rather they reach in and grab the bottom of the glass instead of sticking their little fingers inside any glass that might end up as mine at the dinner table!! lol

Oh, and toilet paper MUST go down the wall, thank you.

I don't know what I'd do without you ladies. I mean, these are the life and death issues in life! If we weren't settling them, chaos and pandemonium would reign supreme!

And the toilet paper goes up and over (folded into a point if company is coming).

Ok, so here's the most serious question though:

How do you fold towels?

I fold mine in half, half again, then in thirds. It's the "hotel" method (and also the only correct method).

 

I had a weird sized drawer at our other house, and the only way my kitchen towels would fit were folded in thirds! My bathroom towels depend on the size. The really large "bath sheets" we love have got to be folded haf, half, and thirds. Others don't need that extra "thirds" fold.

What about sheets? I fold my fitted sheets so the corners are fit inside each other and then fold it small, fold my flat sheet so it's the same size, fold one pillow case in half and half again, put all three in a pile, and then take the remaining pillow case, fold it twice long-ways, and wrap it around the whole pile.

 

Fold... sheets?

What is this thing of which you speak?

 

Towels are supposed to be folded? Really? I thought they just hung over the shower!

Ok, cups go in the cabinet...if they make it there I'm happy! Glasses are dried fully before storage and stored upside down (I'm weird). Of course this only matters if *I* put away the dishes....anyone else puts them away all bets are off.

Toilet paper goes over the top so the flap is closer to the toilet than the wall/sink. That is if *I* put the paper on the roll! If anyone else in the house does it then toilet paper either goes on the top of the toilet tank, or leaned dangerously over the empty roll.....because I'm the only one who knows how to use the spring loaded roll holder....

Sheets well....lets just say that as long as the set is inside a pillowcase so I can find the whole thing and as long as I can stack several sets on top of one another on a shelf then I'm happy...

Yup, I'm a strange one!
