Just realized my shed door was opening the wrong way for years

I was trying to move my new lawn mower into the shed and kept banging it on the door frame. My neighbor in Charlotte pointed out I had the door hinged on the left when the natural path from my driveway is on the right. I swapped it last weekend and now I can actually wheel things straight in without that awkward turn. Anyone else have a simple fix like that they missed for way too long?

You had the door hinged on the wrong side for years? That's wild. I can't imagine the daily hassle of that awkward turn every single time. My brain would have short-circuited trying to get a mower in there. Good on your neighbor for finally saying something.

My old apartment had the bathroom door opening the wrong way for a decade.

Honestly it makes me wonder how many other things in my house are set up backwards without me noticing. Did you feel a little silly once you realized the fix was so simple?
