Right way up
What are we, neanderthals?
mostly gay
right way up
thank god SOMEONE is asking these questions.
3?
now the board makes sense
all the best things come in trilogies
is that why phantom menace is so shit?
no,
the phantom menace is shit because it was a lame excuse for 2 hour toy commercial, directed by an out of touch, over the hill charlatan who's forgotten what it was that made him successful in the first place.
It's been
8 YEARS, Andy.
bad things
also happen in threes.
*trees*
right way up
deffo.
does that mean I'm NOT
mentally ill?
unproven
i think you're safe
its the warn character you have to watch out for
I'll warn your character.
Meths!
...
does that even work?
"Look out!"
Too late.
Get in!
In your face, doctors!
Yeah, f'sho
Hadley would be most distressed if he happened to pop round for a cup of tea and saw his name upside down.
Hadley
and westlife are hidden after you tried smashing them. They are also upside down as that's the correct way to stiore all cups and glasses
right way up
who wants to drink from trapped air cups? fools.
my boss
well tell them they're a fool from me
thanks.
yeah
I don't give a damn about all the dust that may collect in the cups.
Dust > air.
if your cups collect dust
then you've obviously got too many. you need to scale down your collection young man.
okay,
i only really need one. If I have a visitor, we can share it.
That's a sweet thought
I don't know
anyone who has their cups upside down in their cupboards, but if I did, I'd definitely have them sectioned at once.
who drinks from cups
these days anyway, it's all about the mugs
mugs = cups
no they don't
do you have a mug and saucer, nope.
upside down for mugs
but right why up for glasses, I don't know why.
why up?
whyup earp?
I was thinking ahead
of myself
i think starshaped is.
if that's what qualifies someone as a neanderthal.
yep this is me:
http://tinyurl.com/o44lp
i can see your peen
like that do ya?
oh no.......
and yet
you're still staring . . .
i wasnt, honest......
They have to go upside down!!!
You lot are the crazies.
uh oh.
is that why you said to avoid talking to her in the poub that time?
deffo
she never stops about her cups.
heehehehe. cups
where they fall
currently they are lying wonkiways tucked in the mixing bowl as my designated cupboard is a crappy disorganised, hard-to-get-to corner thingy.
upside down
they stack better that way, we have too many mugs and not enough cupboard space
mugs are quite hard to stack
That is all.
how do they stack better upside down?
thats ridiculous
because otherwise
they kind of fall in each other and chip
whats sort of cups do you have that stack?
the handles shirley get in the way?
they don't 'stack' stack
but they kind of pile on top of each other like those motorcycling triangle display teams
chaos!
slicky KNOWS
clever lady.
UPSIDE DOWN SO THINGS CAN'T GO IN THEM!
I just cleaned the fucking things and dried them.
I don't want some CUNTING INSECT setting up a home in them or any dust getting inside.
UGH!
UPSIDE-FUCKING-DOWN!
why? have you got insects in your cupbord?
i havent
they're imaginary
under his skin and everything.
the loon.
eight points for capitalising 'cunting insect'
Minus a billion points for being wrong about which way up cups should go.
:D
What's great is that all the cups in our cupboard are the right way up.
I don't actually care.
i agree with theo.
but with less of the hysteria and anger.
*hyperbole
upside down
upside down
i don't care that much but upside down.
it keeps them from getting dust in them.
I've noticed that about you
and have kept quiet UNTIL NOW.
it's just wrong sar. simply wrong.
it's not!!
you're drinking dust!!!
if there's dust in there
then you'll get dust on the rim when they are upside down
if your cups really get *that* dusty
between use then re my post above you've got too many mugs.
and you can always give it a quick rinse should a stray speck remain.
musty cups are horrible.
haha
I think I just do what my mum does and she's like a clean freak so I trust in her!
Not that I'm clean about anything else in the flat really..
all of us do it that way!
also, it's how i'm used to doing it from working in bars etc.
my mum keeps them upwards i think.
anyway, 'musty' air? all our glasses get used within like, a day anyway. musty air is a bollocks excuse.
I have
a Manic Street Preachers mug, a Chelsea mug and a Snoopy mug that are solely for my use and woe bytide anyone else getting their mitts on them!
musty air is a perfectly valid reason
and you upside-downers are clearly outnumbered. you should do the decent thing and admit defeat.
and also, people who put toilet roll the wrong way round. I've actually gone so far as to swap it round on several occasions.
what's the wrong way round?
is it YOU that was moving it around? i was moving it back on purpose to annoy whoever was doing it. HAHAHAHAHA!
ummmn....maybe. heh.
I've only done it a couple of times at your house though. hehehehe. I always do it if I come across such sacrilage in a restaurant/pub/etc.
the wrong way round is when it's against the wall. it just doesn't make any sense.
friggin ocd freak.
it's not OCD
it's putting the world to rights one loo roll at a time.
what a*****y retentive nonsense is this
What difference does it make?
hmph
because having cup handles all facing in the same way itsn't?
it's not nonsense. why have it hanging against the wall when it's clearly designed so that it hangs out over the edge thereby making ripping of the looroll convenient and easy?!
but the 'anchoring' of the roll against the wall
helps strengthen the tension in the paper, thereby making it easier to rip.
what?!
WHAT?!!
you're hopeless. completely hopeless.
(little mermaid quote for you there)
at least wait for us to spot it.
it's the little mermaid, isn't it?
*pats bobbygeorge on the head*
good job sparky.
thank you sarky
I approve of your toilet habits.
By the way what is your other hand doing, that you need to rip the paper one handed?
i like to test myself with the one handed thing.
&&&**???/|%$$@@@
TEST YOURSELF? WUT?
i really don't know
ummmn...you really want to know?!
other hand is on top of the roll, I suppose creating tension like sar said.
seriously is this me being really weird? I just thought it made sense....
if you put one hand on top of the roll then there would be tension no mater which way round the roll
surely?
does anyone ever use the 'flawed' inertia, one handed method
i.e. you figure to yourself, if you pull really fast then the tension from the inertia will be enough to rip it........except often it doesnt, causing extremely uncontrolled fast unravelling of roll onto floor......more unfortunate if you are in a public cubical
well yes
but having it hanging out makes it easier....
crikey. it just looks better.
I wish I'd never started this. I'm going to stop now.
&&&*&***@@:@@??|£££
LOOKS BETTER? wtf?
why does that make it easier?
I really cannot see that......as for the handles well I was being disingenious and deliberately not following the thread of the thread, but having the handles out means you can hold them by the handle, the clue is in the name 'handle' 'hand' 'le' or le hand....i.e. pour le hand (french) meaning 'for the hand'
right way up.
Upside down just encourages bits of shit to stick to the rim. Gross.
Today I have learned that I am not mentally ill.
yes you are
it's not just about cups you know.
Oh.
*hits self repeatedly round the head with a spatula*
Handles away from the wall
towards me...surely anything else is just bizarre
ooops I see what you mean now
well there are pros and cons......you might say that by having them normal way up, they might get insct poo and dust in them, on the other hand turn em upside down and whatever crap is on the shelf gets concentrated on the brim of the mug....the bit that gets put on your lips.
actually having thought about it in that way
I am now resolved to store them on their sides to minimise both evils
Theres lateral thinking for yous
yeah all you upsidedowners
*concentrated* crap on the rim. GROSS.
thanks for clarifying that creaky.
