Which absolute psychopath has the one on the right?
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.
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.
I always find it odd that people use a new towel every day but don’t change their bed sheets every day.
While I suggest changing them regularly, I have a different reasoning behind sheets and towels. I shower when I get up and frequently before bed if I feel icky or my spouse invites me. So frequency of sheets goes down because anything it transfers gets washed off in the shower. The towel is used after the shower so anything it transfers lasts all day. That said, after the move in I adopted my spouse’s routine which is much more lax and changes towels every few days. On one hand I now have to track towel wash cycles consciously, on the other hand I’m not doing 3 times the towels so it equals out.
Though now that you have me thinking about it, I would absolutely change sheets daily if it were easier to do so…
You shower twice a day?
Not always, but frequently. Depending on how sticky I get.
I don’t have ADHD (I know enough people who do that I can say that quite confidently) and I still find this extremely helpful. Decision fatigue is real, and eliminating trivial decisions is great.
Only IKEA and Pottery Barn photographers I think.
Hi 👋
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
There are dozens of us
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.
Yep! I’m both! My glass hutch in the kitchen is all clear and white glass and matching sets, daily use. My hoarders nest cabinet in the pantry holds cups from mystic pizza, the pirate restaurant, promotional yetis, my nostalgic Tupperware from college with no lid.
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
Go to big lots, buy sets. No more thinking. If get fun mugs, they live up high. Da end
Big Lots went out of business 😞
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”?
Someone who just moved out on their own and can afford new kitchen items
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.
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.
This just looks like my shelves. One side has the store bought glasses; the other has all the novelty/gas station refillable cups.
Por que no los dos?
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
Same. The matching fancy side collects dust. The silly side gets used til things break.
I’m both and I think most people are both, having several of some and also random ones.
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.
4th type … cupboard empty. Everything on the counters! ADHD ftw!!!
Everything on the counters dirty
Ah, my old roommate is in the chat
Left bottom shelve here too. How do right shelvers even do anything while keeping the whole thing neat???
They don’t actually use most of them.
Am I the only person who puts glasses in the cabinet upside down?
Also: left side, but flipped.
I put them in an alternating pattern, they take less space that way
I enjoy my water with extra dust
I want to be the one on the right, but my wife and kids say I have to be the one on the left.
Unless you’re 8 feet tall most cupboards are like this, no?
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.
Normal human and hotel
I am left bottom shelf, right mid and top.
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.
cabinet door opens to the left, so I can reach in with my right hand
i’m both - dishes I use on the right the ones I don’t on the left
We do both. We have organized dishes in one cupboard, and an absolute cluster-fuck in the one where we keep all the kids’ dishes and water bottles. In 30 years it will be that cupboard that our grand-kids pull an old plastic Barbie cup out of and have to give a quick smell test before pouring their drink into. You know the one.
