Ever looked at hospital taps. They are on when the handles are in the same
direction as the spout, and OFF when at right angles to the spout, so you are
not necessarily wrong having them the way you like them, in fact you are
actually correct in the way you like them. In short , ON - handles pointing
with the flow. Off - handles pointing across the flow - common sense and not a
slave to aesthetic looks.
