The point is: the people hanging them on lampposts don't know that, hence half of them being upside down.

To be fair, as somebody who has put flags on lampposts, it's slightly difficult to coordinate the flag orientation when you're at the top of a ladder.

I’m sorry it looks like I misunderstood your comment.

Over here people put flags upside down on purpose, so that was my frame of reference.
