The floor being on the bottom is an unofficial standard, at least.

I’m sure the EU has established it as an official standard.

It’s the same in the US but the location is specified as a distance from the ceiling in units based on an average man’s height.

I have a supernatural ability to find the cutlery drawer in any kitchen on the first try. So far I haven’t been able to use my power to solve any crimes but it’s useful anyway.

It’s weird when you expect the kitchen to be set by “align right” and instead everything is set “align left”

That’s a nice problem to have, in my kitchen the only option is to “align stuffed to the brim”

That‘s true. I remember coming together with my gf back then. Moving into our first department we almost had a fight over the kitchen organization. Our idea of where to put everything was vastly different.
