Poll: Poll: Do you store glasses and mugs rim down or rim up?

[Participant]

One of life's great conundrums to ponder at 3am after your child comes in and jumps on your balls, and prompted by one of the images in the 'I have my own bar' thread...

Do you store drinking vessels upright or upside down, and why?

Simple poll if possible please mods.

 

[Participant]

I go rim up. Assuming it's completely dry, I can't see the hygiene argument for going rim down, unless the surface on which it's resting is cleaner than air.

 

[Participant]

Upside-downers: do you ever clean the rim before putting your mouth to it?

 

[Participant]

rim up because trapping the air inside a glass/mug isn't good. the treated surface will naturally give off gases and you're trapping them in the mug.

Wow, I've never heard that one before! Do those trapped gases given off by the inert glass remain trapped as they travel from the cupboard to the work surface, and on to your mouth?

Fairly sure the answer is no!
