How do you place your cups in the cupboard?

TLDR: How do you place your cups in the cupboard?
In a forum thread discussing the preferred orientation for storing washed dishes, participants shared their personal methods and reasons. ZandraJoi initiates the discussion by stating that she prefers storing dishes right side up, mainly for convenience in drying, especially since she only has a small number of dishes to manage. Jay™ responds humorously about offering ZandraJoi a job due to her love for washing dishes and mentions that he stores his dishes upside down to prevent anything from getting inside the cups while on the shelf. Jaminhealth contributes by saying that due to living alone and minimizing dishware, she keeps just one mug for daily use, washing it after each use. Lammchen shares that she stores dishes upside down following her husband's advice to prevent dust from settling inside the dishes, a rationale that Jaminhealth agrees with. Dude111 also supports storing dishes upside down to cover the openings and presumably to protect from dust and other particles. Overall, the consensus in the thread leans towards storing dishes upside down to prevent interior contamination from dust and other elements, although personal preferences and household size appear to influence individual practices.

Right side up or upside down? I do right side up because I cheat. I love washing dishes but dislike drying lol so what I do with glasses & containers is do a quick dry on the outside & bottom & quickie inside then put them away. Containers I leave angled. So they are out of the way & can dry on their own. But there are only 2 of us & we don't have many dishes. Which way do you prefer & why?
 
HuH? Do you love washing Dishes? well, I have a job for you.
To answer the question I keep them down, I really don't know why but my strange way of thinking something may get in the cup while it sits on the shelf.

There is only me and I've gotten rid of so many dishes and cups etc and have one mug I use for my coffee and wash it out after using it and keep it close by for tomorrow's coffee.
 
My husband always told me to put them upside down so that any dust from the cabinets will not settle inside so that's how we do it.
