Don't know if it's a 'which way the toilet paper goes on the holder' thing - but all mine are left horizonal. Only behemoths make them vertical.

I used to be in the horizontal camp, until I realized that wet cleaner wouldn't drip out of the screws unless they were vertical.....

Guilty as well, mine are all horizontal though.
Did the vertical vs horizontal, horizontal just looks better to me.

I know, right? I never worried about it until one year I had our house remodeled. My contractor, Larry, was recommended to me. He was highly skilled and a bit of a perfectionist. When he replaced all of the switches and plugs, he lined up all of the screws. I thought, "this guy is obsessed." After that, I found myself doing it too.

I suppose to be truly off the rails OCD on this particular subject would be to insist on lining up the screw heads for the screws underneath the switch plate that hold the switch or plug to the junction box, Crap, now I have a new project. |

Each line I read got me more inspired to better myself. This was going to be a life-changing transformation for me.
It all made so much sense until it didn't. |

When it came time for the town's electrical inspector to approve his work, the guy was FLOORED at how every single wire in the electrical panel was fanned out and bent exactly 90 degrees like a protractor was used. The inspector asked for permission to bring every licensed electrician in the town to come see this panel as he signed off on it, as an example of how to do things. Fast forward two decades, and my father-in-law who was a retired master electrician was over at my parent's house for a visit. I grabbed a screwdriver, and told him that he had to come into the basement with me to check out my old man's legacy. We took the cover off of the panel, and were both SHOCKED to see that some idiot who installed the central AC system after my father's passing had just willy-nilly knocked out any old punchout and slopped wire onto a breaker. It was like someone assaulted the Mona Lisa with spray paint!!!!!
