Which way? A poll
If you have a ring with writing on it (like a class ring or a ring with a name), do you wear it so the writing faces YOU, like below?
Or do you wear it with the text facing away with you, so if you show your hand to another person, THEY can read it?
Same question, but with a doormat. I have a Christmas doormat for INSIDE my front door that has text on it. Do you place it so that you read the text from inside your house, or so that you can read it when you step from the front door?
Yes, I have spent time thinking about these things.
Re: Which way? A poll
Here is my question. I want a tattoo with words on my inner wrist, do I get it so when I turn my hand palm up I can read the words or so that people across from me can read the words?
FWIW, the doormat, I'd face the text so that the top of the letters are nearest to the doorjam.
Ring, I dunno, as I do no wear one.
If it was a tattoo, I would make the text face me when you are palm up, since it is for you anyway.
I wear rings that way as well, but DH wears his class ring the other way, so the text faces out for other people. I think it's weird.
Ring - I never paid attention when I wore mine.
Rug - for an inside rug I would have the text so you can read it from inside the house. For an outside rug I would have it so people walking up to your door can read it.
Wrist tattoo - I like those so the person with the tattoo has it right side up for the self. If that makes any sense. Like if you just have your arm straight to your side - you can read it, but it's upside down to everyone else. A family friend has one the other way and it bugs me for some reason. It's almost like she got the tattoo just to show it to other people...sort of thing.
When I wore my class ring, the text would face me.
For a rug...inside the house, I'd have it so that you can read it as you step out of the house. For an outside rug, I'd have it so that you can read it as you enter the house.
Trickey--my sister has her wrists tattooed and the words face her, since they're for her. This is what I would do too.
All of this
Ring- I think text faced out. You H is not weird!
Doormat- backdoor one faces inside because you read it when you step out. Front door inside one faces outside so you read it when you step in the house.
Tattoo- face you.
For class rings - I thought you were supposed to wear it so that you could read the writing before you graduate and after you graduate you're supposed to flip it so that others can read it.
For our doormat - I have it so that someone standing at my door can read it.
My problem is sheets - do you have the seam so that it faces into you or out towards the comforter?
This exactly - except my sis doesn't have a tat.
Although Alliapistor brings up an interesting thought about the ring.
Both of these. They actually told us at our graduation to turn our rings.
Class ring: I don't think matters because the text is not horizontal.
A ring that is a word, ie LOVE. I would face out.
Doormat: Inside the house, I would face it so you read it when you leave.
Bed sheet: Depends how you make your bed. If you fold your sheet back over the comforter then the seam should be on the inside so it's facing when you fold it back. I have my seam on the outside, because I don't fold my sheet back.
This is what we were always told also. & we changed ours during graduation too.
For the mat, I put it so you can read it from the outside if it's outside & inside if it's inside.
