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. ...

Bita both ey?

[-] FloatingAlong@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

That's not nearly enough coffee cups.

Just can't see how deep the cabinet is

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 17 hours ago

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.

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.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

Which absolute psychopath has the one on the right?

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

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"?

I have near crippling ADHD and prior to moving in with my spouse, my kitchen looked like this, as well as my towels, sheets, cleaners, and spice rack. Having everything ordered took away the mental load, 8 identical towels is one load a week on Sunday plus a spare if something interrupts the schedule. I never had to consider a sensory issue because they're all the exact same towel. Same for dishes, all my cups held the same amount and felt the same in hand. All my plates and bowls were identical so I couldn't have a preferred one. All of them were dishwashers safe and dishwasher design friendly so I never needed to consider if they needed special treatment.

Taking away that thing to think about made a huge difference in clarity of mind because I could then use that energy for other things.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 11 points 1 day ago

I always find it odd that people use a new towel every day but don't change their bed sheets every day.

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.

In no uncertain terms: how dangerous are you?

That would be me.

My walls are painted white, and are bare of any paintings, posters or decorations.

I rent, and don't own anything.

I don't have any fingerprints.

In the freezer, is a mould containing the exact shape of NATO standard ca—

I'm just messing with you lmfao

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

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.

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

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 22 hours ago

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.

[-] Redstone1@lemmings.world 27 points 1 day ago
[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 8 points 1 day ago

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

I'm a little from column A and a little from column B.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 38 points 1 day ago

This just looks like my shelves. One side has the store bought glasses; the other has all the novelty/gas station refillable cups.

[-] Rajtinka@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

4th type .. cupboard empty. Everything on the counters! ADHD ftw!!!

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

Everything on the counters dirty

[-] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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!

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Unless you're 8 feet tall most cupboards are like this, no?

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

I want to be the one on the right, but my wife and kids say I have to be the one on the left.

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

[-] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

They don't actually use most of them.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago

Normal human and hotel

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I was not made to have matching sets of anything.

[-] Lemmling@feddit.org 1 points 22 hours ago

There are only two options. What would be a third?

[-] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 5 points 21 hours ago

Two glasses, both of which are in the kitchen sink.

[-] TroublesomeTalker@feddit.uk 2 points 21 hours ago

Uh. We have both of these. The home cupboard and the guest cupboard.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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

Also: left side, but flipped.

[-] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

I enjoy my water with extra dust

[-] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 1 day ago

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

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Why not both, exactly like in the picture?

[-] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I am left bottom shelf, right mid and top.
