You don't realize how particular you are in things until you live in someone else's environment. Like how can some people stand to not have paper towels, or SOS pads? I don't get it. And toilet paper needs to be rolled over the top, not under ;) How funny that you mentioned this, because I’m a house-sitter, and it bugs me when their glasses aren’t bottoms up.

I store my glasses bottom up. (I do have shelf liner down that is a rubbery open-weave design, so I'm not worried about trapping air or bacterial growth--not that either of those have ever crossed my mind...) The reason I do it is because the rim of my glasses are a larger diameter than the bottoms and when I put the bottom down first I sometimes set the glasses too close together and then the rims knock together. If I put the rims down first they are perfectly spaced--no knocking, no chips! I really had to give this some thought! I store my glasses bottom up.

The rim touching the shelf creates a closed environment perfect for germs to grow. Plus, the rim where you put your lips.

My MIL keeps putting them open end down, but then I have to make sure the cabinet base is really clean - nothing like getting dust or spills on the rim of a glass, is there?

When I lived in an apartment I put down clean shelf paper and stored them upside down. That kept any bugs out. The apartment building was a little scarry. -CVS I put them open end up, but I have them in cupboards with doors.

In my everyday dishes... rim up. Go figure I can't. Maybe it's because the kids put away the everyday dishes that way... In my glass cabinet, bottoms up. In my everyday dishes… rim up.

Even so, I have to wash the outsides before I use them. I have open shelving in my kitchen, so the bottom-up method keeps dust out of the inside of the glasses.
