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

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

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

Only IKEA and Pottery Barn photographers I think.

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.

Hi 👋

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.

There are dozens of us

Go to big lots, buy sets. No more thinking. If get fun mugs, they live up high. Da end

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

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.

I WAS the right side, the gf has made it the left side but the image is too organized to truly represent how it looks

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

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"?

Came here to say this. It’s homey though.

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

Everything on the counters dirty

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

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

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.

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.

And always drinking directly out of the bottle

I enjoy my water with extra dust

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

I think there's room to wiggle on the mugs. I have a matching set for daily use and an unmatched collection stored separately for special occasional. I will never get rid of my penis pink German skull and crossbone mug, but I also prefer the consistency in volume of my matching set for chai in the morning.

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.

They don't actually use most of them.

I think the comic is creating a false dichotomy (as comics often do) because in reality people will often be a little bit of both.

I've got assorted mugs and glasses acquired over decades, and my favourites are among them.

I've also got some matching wine glasses and matching tea cups, because sometimes it's just nice when everyone is equal and gets the same.

Kinda feel the same about the cupboards in my apartment. They are visibly angled forward and look like they could just fall down at any moment. 😬

What you want to do is get a box of deck screws, a cheap drill, and a stud finder. Find the stud behind the cabinets, then put the deck screw through the top and bottom board at a 45° angle from the outside through the cabinet, into the stud. That will put about 6cm of screw to anchor through both the frame and back of the cabinet. Only way it's comming down is if the wall does.

While you're at it, replace the screws holding your door to the wall with them too, the normal screws for a door hinge are 1.5cm max, this will allow your door to sag as well as allow it to be easily knocked down. Replacing them with deck screws makes that far less likely.

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

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

My mugs are taking over. I've started having to take some out of circulation and store them elsewhere.

Just can't see how deep the cabinet is
