Several years ago my brother's friend bought a handheld Tetris game. For some reason he was utterly convinced that if you'd put the batteries in the wrong way around the direction of movement of the falling blocks would be reversed.
For some reason he never got the blocks to "fall" from the bottom part to the top of the screen.
