my partner likes to put them in upside down, though, from his bartender-course days. (not that he ever worked as a bartender, you understand.)

[annotated_em]

Upside down, of course. That way they don't get dust in them.

Also, Atobe always and forever. *solemn nod*

Right side up so the glass rims don't get dirty!

re: the glasses, I alternate.

[lilacsigil.livejournal.com]

Upside down because of bugs. Lots and lots of bugs.

[lapillus]

You didn't offer both as a possibility. Which more accurately reflects the state of cupboards. Partly it varies by glass type, partly it varies by person putting them up. And partly it's whim.

Placing them upside down in bars is one thing - at home, where one doesn't dust surfaces as often as one should? Definitely keep them the right side up.

I have to say this discussion got me going O__O

If one has ever lived in a place that has bugs of any sort, one is forever traumatized into storing glasses upside down. *g*

Dean, hands down. Always. Yum ^_^

[grasshopper.livejournal.com]

Your second question is just plain evil. I abstain.

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

People put them upside down? Never encountered that. Which according to the poll, is weird.

...you made me choose between Dean and Atobe? *wrings hands*

[jaebi-lit.livejournal.com]

It varies by whim and space. Wine glasses, short glasses, and squat glasses go upside down, tall glasses go right side up.

But Atobe all the way, no varying there!

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

upside down is the proper way. that way you don't risk getting dust or having water collect inside the cup. Unless it is water glasses or coffee cups, those go right side up.

and neither Dean or Atobe.

I fail at poll taking.

Glasses go the right way round because then the rims don't get dirty and they don't get a bad smell in them.

I choose dean - because he's a real life boy.

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Alternately, so that it saves room.

[chzbrgr-of-doom.livejournal.com]

I wanted to vote for Dean but I don't know who he is.

I like drinking glasses. But I like drinking beer better. (I've been converted.)
