Ew. I had to shudder at the mental image of the fly carcass incident.
I’m hoping to avoid that sort of thing by keeping my glasses upside down. Even with that, I usually rinse my glass out before pouring my drink into it in the hopes of getting rid of any dust or whatnot.
Most are upside-down. The coffee mugs and old-fashioned glasses will stack, though, and the bottom layer is down, and the upper layer is right-side-up. The cupboard doors are pretty tight, and there’s not much dust in there, unlike the rest of the house.
I live alone so I keep the ones I use most upside-up in the front but the rest are upside-down. I come from an upside-down family but I am like NurseCarmen–if they aren’t perfectly bone dry I don’t want them upside-down in the cupboard because sometimes I will turn around and see condensation in there and it really bothers me. I don’t want to drink out of a humid glass.
We have a little cabinet and lots of glasses and cups. Everything is stacked as much as possible, sometimes three glasses high. They are all bottom-down. Nothing stays in there long enough to get dusty.
Ditto.
I was reared in an “up” household, my SO was reared in a “down” household. We do it his way. He’s more of a control freak than I (Note that I didn’t deny any trace of control-freak-icity myself; I just stated that his CF quotient is higher than mine. Dishes go in the dishwasher my way).
