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

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 minutes ago

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

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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 3 points 4 hours 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.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 22 minutes 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.

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

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

They don't actually use most of them.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] Redstone1@lemmings.world 23 points 12 hours ago (2 children)
[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I am left bottom shelf, right mid and top.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

I was not made to have matching sets of anything.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours 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.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 65 points 17 hours ago (12 children)

Which absolute psychopath has the one on the right?

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Someone who just moved out on their own and can afford new kitchen items

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

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

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.

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 10 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

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

Only IKEA and Pottery Barn photographers I think.

In no uncertain terms: how dangerous are you?

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 43 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I have extensive knowledge of state forests

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

It's worse than I imagined.

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.

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

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

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

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

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

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

Also: left side, but flipped.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 hours ago

I enjoy my water with extra dust

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 15 hours ago

Normal human and hotel

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Why not both, exactly like in the picture?

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] johnwicksdog@aussie.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

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.
