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.
Bita both ey?
Por que no los dos?
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
Same. The matching fancy side collects dust. The silly side gets used til things break.
For me too . One cabinet with fancy glassware and one cabinet with a wild collection of everything.
yeah sometimes the cabinet layout makes sense to have them opening both to the left and to the right
This just looks like my shelves. One side has the store bought glasses; the other has all the novelty/gas station refillable cups.
4th type … cupboard empty. Everything on the counters! ADHD ftw!!!
Everything on the counters dirty
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!
Ah, my old roommate is in the chat
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
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…
The dishwasher never fills up as quickly as when you’ve finally worked up the motivation to properly empty it.
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.
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.
I’m both and I think most people are both, having several of some and also random ones.
I’m definitely both but that’s because my cup wear is a random collection of cups that I acquired somehow over the years and stuff I actually went out and bought and only the bought stuff matches.
No one’s going to take my bee cup away from me, it’s got pictures of bees on and says “beeee happy” and can contain an Olympic swimming pool with a drink. I think I got it in an Easter egg.
Unless you’re 8 feet tall most cupboards are like this, no?
You forgot the cup hooks underneath, and the large drinking steins/tankards/catfood on top
Other way around. The nice sets on top, the regularly used collection of oddities below.
Normal human and hotel
I want to be the one on the right, but my wife and kids say I have to be the one on the left.
Came here to say this. It’s homey though.
Having diverse cups/mugs makes it easier to tell whose is whose when company comes over.
“when company comes over” look at you and your sociable characteristics.
we don’t do that here. we don’t have “company” “over” 🤣
That’s not nearly enough coffee cups.
Just can’t see how deep the cabinet is
I was not made to have matching sets of anything.
Am I the only person who puts glasses in the cabinet upside down?
Also: left side, but flipped.
I enjoy my water with extra dust
I put them in an alternating pattern, they take less space that way
