Which way is the picture supposed to represent? Because in my mind the way shown is upside down

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

That's the right way up direction. The grub screw is at the bottom in the correct orientation.
My house is full of little things that are just slightly wrong, the previous owner clearly was not bothered by stuff like that. There's nothing wrong with that, it's not like any of it is actually problematic, but it means there's this big list of tiny jobs I need to get to, eventually...
If that's an example, I suspect that it's intentional that it can be installed either way.
That might be true but when installed in this orientation the grub screw is hidden which makes me feel like this is the preferred orientation. Also this is the only door on the house that has it in this orientation where this knob is used. There about 4 doors that all use the same knob.
We have two water faucets that have handles that are 90° off. I really want to fix them, but I'm terrified of plumbing. 😞
Depending on the design, you may just have to partially unscrew a set screw, put them in the right position and tighten the set screw.
wow. Masterpiece. I bow my head to you.
You are a true Masterbaiter.
I swapped one of ours because Sammy the cat worked out how lever handles worked. So the door opens by lifting the handle
Guess what he's now worked out what to do...
We had upside down handles because of a particularly smart cat as a kid. Then he figured out how to push it up with his head lol.
Yup, that's how sammy roll
My Sammy rang the front door bell to be let in when I was a kid. One night around midnight my dad opened the door nude to let Sammy in and some dude was standing there instead.
Nice man. They kinda look like a bike brake lever.
When I moved into my house last year, the garage entry door handles were reversed so the key hole was inside the house and the little bit you twist to lock and unlock the door was in the garage.
