I suppose you could get away by crossing
flexible hoses, but it wouldn't look very good in the cupboard under the
sink.

What!? [1]

It would take me 5 minutes to empty out under the sink enough to be
able to even *see* the pipes and what sort of things do you or any
visitors do! ;-)

sink and noticed that you have the tap flexi hoses crossed over. Care
to explain ...?" weg

'Most people' don't seem to know where the wall stops and the ceiling,
light switch, architrave starts, judging by their painting skills and
that's in plain sight so ... ?

[1] No, I actually get it but whilst I wouldn't have installed any of
it that way if I was doing it all myself, I wouldn't have any problems
crossing some flexies if I was fixing someone else's f'up with the
least inconvenience to me (especially when it's all out of sight).
