Mugs in the cupboard - open end up or down?
I'm a "down" man - don't want dust collecting in them - but my cleaner is an "up" woman, presumably so that the rim isn't touching the potentially dirty shelf?

Where do you stand on this vital question? Is it different for glasses?

er, no
static air is a lovely breeding ground for all sorts of interesting bugs, particularly spore-forming bacteria. Particulary static moist air. Much as might be formed by taking a hot glass out of the dishwasher at putting it downwards on a shelf.

Just sayin.

solve the problem by being too lazy to empty the dishwasher until everything has gone cold

just as bad, then, because the glasses will be slightly wet again.
