Why I spent 6 months stacking my tool chest drawers all wrong

So I've been building out my garage here in Tucson for about a year now, and last Saturday I finally figured out that I was putting my sockets in the drawer upside down. Like, I had them all sitting with the open end facing up, and I thought that was normal. Then my buddy Dave came over to borrow my torque wrench and he just stared at my drawer for like 10 seconds before saying 'dude, why are your sockets trying to collect dust?' I laughed it off but then he showed me how he keeps them with the drive end up so you can grab them by the socket itself instead of picking them out like weird little cups. I felt real dumb for a minute until I realized my ratchets were also laying flat instead of in a rack. Has anyone else had that moment where a buddy just casually pointed out your whole system was backwards?

Ngl, I had mine upside down for two years before someone said something.

Calling it upside down means you had it right all along.
