Up or Down?

Yesterday I was unloading the dishwasher and I started wondering about the way I was putting the glasses on the shelf. I place mine face up. I have heard people say that you should place your glasses face down. Does it really matter? If so, why?

I like mine face up because I don't like the idea of the part your mouth touches touching the shelf. Probably because was have lived in some nasty apartments and even after I wiped down the shelves I was still afraid to put anything on them. Just a question to all of you out there.


Down?or
Up?

We put ours up for the same reason. It grosses Gary out the other way. I don't think about germs. It's both a blessing and a curse. lol.

We put ours up too, but I didn't really give much thought as to why. I guess because you can just take it out and start pouring into it. None of this turning it over nonsense. Although, I guess I do put cups like hot chocolate mugs upside down...maybe because they don't get used very often and that way you don't have dust sitting at the bottom.

I love random thoughts like this. I also wonder which way people put their toilet paper on...with the end over the top or behind the back? I'm an "over-the-top" person myself in case you were wondering :)

very deep---i put my down because i am always afraid stuff will fall into the glass, or that dust will gather if it is faciing up.

i'm an over the top person too. in more ways than one :) That way the end of the toilet paper is easy find. I hate having to hunt for it.

I put my cups down because my taught me to do it that way. I thought everyone did it like that!! I just always thought that it was so that dust doesn't get in your clean cups!?!

I prefer my TP over the top, but have been known to do it the other way too!
