How does the typical mains power connect in the USA anyway?

Tell that to my lying scope. You put the two hot legs of the
split-phase service on a scope and what do you see? Two phases that
differ by 180 degrees. If they didn't differ by 180 degrees, you would
not have 240V. It's every bit as real as seeing 3 phases on a scope
that are 120 deg seperate.
These are typical of the breakers in my panel.

My panel was installed by a licensed master electrician.
The panel passed inspection.
The breakers are not listed for 2 phase service, only single or 3 phase.
Who should I sue for installing a panel not listed for 2 phase service?
The electrician? Electrical inspector? Siemens?
And last but not least, where do I find 2 phase breakers?
