I prefer diagonal cut, but I often use a horizontal cut when in a hurry.

This. My mom used to cut my sandwiches that way throughout grade school, always been my favorite method.  Although, I do just dive in sometimes too like clib's method.

I love sesame seed bread, but the store is usually out of it.

Diagonal cut every time, and on a long sandwich like a submarine I make a series of diagonal cuts 3" (10 cm) each.

You didn't ask, but I also like toasted, re-assembled (to better adhere internally), then cooled back to room temperature before slicing.

Vertical cut or horizontal cut depending on what kind of break I'm using.

If it's a square slice of bread and you aren't cutting diagonal then you're doing it wrong. No exceptions.

Why only square?

Obviously, circular sandwiches are better, cut, also, right?

No one cuts more than once?  What is it?  Too confusing to make an x.  4 triangles > 2.

My experience is that the smaller your sandwich pieces, the greater the likelihood of a piece being stolen by a significant other.

This is why my sandwiches are never cut.

This is also why I eat my sandwiches in the bathroom.

That's why you lay the ground rules early by showing said SO the scar on your middle finger where the knife you just used to cut your sandwich into tiny delicious marvels tried to cut your finger off.  Imply that it would be a shame if you had to go to urgent care because of theft.  Or that something happened to those pretty hands...

The problem with smaller pieces is I want more that way.

Lifehack, bro. 

You can tell your friends "I ate like 400 sandwiches".

You tell your SO "I barely ate a whole sandwich"

I don't cut my sandwiches either..

I once had a sandwich with a huge piece of Taiwanese style fried chicken inside. They cut it into 4 triangles and the mayo & tomatoes kept oozing out.. How are you even supposed to eat a sandwich that's been cut into 4 triangles?! You take one bite, and you're left with the crust.  :confused:
