i’m both - dishes I use on the right the ones I don’t on the left

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...

I've got a bunch of pint glasses from local breweries, and they hold up just fine to the dishwasher. Nice thing is if I DO break one, it's an excuse to go back to the brewery and get another.

You forgot the cup hooks underneath, and the large drinking steins/tankards/catfood on top

Why not both, exactly like in the picture?

Having diverse cups/mugs makes it easier to tell whose is whose when company comes over.

I like glass mugs and they can come with designs as well

Other way around. The nice sets on top, the regularly used collection of oddities below.

"when company comes over" look at you and your sociable characteristics.

we don't do that here. we don't have "company" "over" 🤣

Own home on the left, air bnb on the right.

I am the left, but I strongly desire to be the one on the right , I just can't bear to part with all my random cups and glassware that have special significance or sentimentality.

I have one super small section that looks like the left, everything else looks like the right.

It’s only like a single 12x12 space in one cabinet, but this post is making me awkwardly uncomfortable about it. And it’s making me want to do something about it. But they are my most commonly used cups. So functionally it would be counter productive to get rid of them.

I need to leave this thread before my head explodes.

I'm so called out in this pic. My coffee mug area is a travesty.

Do you also strategically choose which lesser mugs have to sit precariously on top of the others?

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

Also: left side, but flipped.

Absolutely. It isn't true chaos. There is a hierarchy of the mugs that cannot be denied.

Yes! Absolutely the same for me. I also have ADHD and when living alone I had only one type of everything. Since my now wife and me live together, this it not the case anymore and, if I'm being honest, it sometimes stresses me out. It leads to so much distraction for me, that it makes cleaning and tidying up even harder for me than it already is.

Por que no los dos?

I put them in an alternating pattern, they take less space that way

I am on the right, the wife and kid are on the left.

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.

DRANKIN OUT THE BOTTLE

MOTHAFUCK A CUP

IMMA POUR IT IN YA MOUTH

LEAN BACK, OPEN UP

(Oooo)

100% this is my struggle.

I want things to be orderly because walking into a chaotic place is mentally stressing for me. I feel overwhelmed by things in the way, I am stressed when trying to find things, and I feel like all the things left out are just more things that need to be done when I already have a lot of things to do. This overstimulation causes my brain to just short circuit and shutdown.....

The one on the left, because I have friends and when they visit they also expect to drink from a glass.

There’s a trend to arrange everything like a sculptures in the louvre. It’s a cupboard, and it has doors for a reason.

This does not spark joy.

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

The dishwasher never fills up as quickly as when you've finally worked up the motivation to properly empty it.

Big Lots went out of business 😞

...and everything in between

Same. The matching fancy side collects dust. The silly side gets used til things break.

Not always, but frequently. Depending on how sticky I get.

I enjoy my water with extra dust

Absolutely the same. I grew up in a messy and unregulated environment and the first coping skill I learned was object blindness. If it causes distress and I can't fix it immediately, my mind simply refuses to acknowledge it from that point on which is a point of contention in the house because it leads to me simply ignoring a lot of things.

For me I respond to stress with object blindness. If I can't immediately fix something my mind Will literally redact it away to the point that inconveniently places boxes on the floor will be stepped over for weeks until I eventually trip on it and it becomes relevant again.

But do you ever use any of them to get Travis tea?

For me too . One cabinet with fancy glassware and one cabinet with a wild collection of everything.

The left side is a collection of memories, and the right side is a collection of order. I definitely live on the left, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way!

I was not made to have matching sets of anything.

The unusable cabinet that commonly lives above refrigerators is the ideal purgatory for lesser mugs.

I'm a left. I need these things, store them in a cabinet behind an opaque door. Function over form, but always keep things clean & new, and periodically re-evaluate my belongings, to prevent clutter buildup & hoarding, sort things into four categories: trash-donate-recycle-keep.

That's exactly where they are!

I am left bottom shelf, right mid and top.

I'm both and I think most people are both, having several of some and also random ones.

I have one cabinet with matching sets of wine glasses, tumblers, Collins, 4 martinis. Also all the matching sets of dansk plates, bowls etc.

Then theres another on the other side with all the mismatched glasses, branded pints, plastic cups, kids cup Disney jam jar cups, etc, and random plates and bowls and stuff.

Left bottom shelve here too. How do right shelvers even do anything while keeping the whole thing neat???

I also have ADHD and I remember that my towels should be switched out every 2-3 weeks. I know this will gross some people out, so sorry if it does, but this is just how my brain functions. in school my teachers frequently told me I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.

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.

Pretty common practice in places that are humid or close to the equator.

cabinet door opens to the left, so I can reach in with my right hand

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