      When I first met my wife her cutlery drawer was so organised that the cutting edge of all the knives faced the same direction and the forks were all lined up on top of each other.

      I nearly ran.

      My parents and my partner’s parents are BOTH! Regular stuff cupboards are the left image, and fancy stuff that never gets used goes in clear glass displays sorted like the right image.

        Yep! I’m both! My glass hutch in the kitchen is all clear and white glass and matching sets, daily use. My hoarders nest cabinet in the pantry holds cups from mystic pizza, the pirate restaurant, promotional yetis, my nostalgic Tupperware from college with no lid.

      I WAS the right side, the gf has made it the left side but the image is too organized to truly represent how it looks

      A lady we used to be friends with was like this.

      She was too intense for us so we stopped hanging out with them and then our house cleaner (that we both used) told us they quit.

      Turns out our ex friend was too intense about getting the house clean for our house cleaner and we had to promise not to tell the friend that our cleaner still worked for us to keep her.

      Claudia clean day has been going on every other Wednesday several years strong and we’re very happy with her!

      But seriously, how bananas do you have to be about getting things clean for a house cleaner to say “this is too much”?

        Me: Guess I have to wash a glass if I want to get a drink.

        My kids: Guess we’re drinking out of flower vases this week!

        Of course dirty, I never emptied the dish washer from last time. Once it’s empty from pulling the only clean dishes left out of it, I will be forced to do the dishes again…

        Thats actually fine, even preferred, if you cannot be arsed to stack the dishes according to size in the sink where I will wash them in no more than 2 days. But no, bowl -> bread plate -> bowl -> dinner plate etc. 8 dishes could either be a small pile or stack higher than the faucet

      Yeah honestly. My kitchen looks exactly like this. I have all the same glasses and my cups are a wild mess, together with a bunch of random glasses i collected over the years

      yeah sometimes the cabinet layout makes sense to have them opening both to the left and to the right

    I am a right cabinet person forced to have a left cabinet because I am too poor to throw away perfectly good mugs and usable glasses just to have a matching set.

      I just kinda accumulated pints and whiskey glasses and one day I realized I have no “regular” glassware. Then my girlfriend moved in with like 30 mismatched mugs and we are now almost exactly left cabinet.

  • My german mug, with all the Länder states on there. A polish mug. A mug-mug. A coffee mug. The Oktoberfest beer stein. The boring mug. The cat and owl mug. The cat mug. The pukka mug. The homer simpson mug. …

    We do both. We have organized dishes in one cupboard, and an absolute cluster-fuck in the one where we keep all the kids’ dishes and water bottles. In 30 years it will be that cupboard that our grand-kids pull an old plastic Barbie cup out of and have to give a quick smell test before pouring their drink into. You know the one.

    I suspect that to some level this reflects how varied one’s path through life has been.

    Certainly my own varied collection of mugs and cups is mainly the product of having lived in many different places and having picked new mugs up along the way. Also I’ll keep old mugs around even after they’re chipped because they’re associated with my memories of places I lived in before.

    That said, maybe a varied life and a hodge-podge collection of mugs are correlated and have a common cause, rather than having a causal relation - it makes sense that the kind of people comfortable with moving to places were they don’t know anybody (and even with different cultures, if they change countries) would also be comfortable with a less than perfect collection of cups and mugs.

    Am I the only person who puts glasses in the cabinet upside down?

    Also: left side, but flipped.
