    No wonder I drink ... actually he did get one other handle wrong ... a single laundry cupboard handle is also at a different height than all the others.

    Annoys me every time I see it, but can't change as they are vinyl vacuumed sealed doors.

    I know it's minor - but I believe the quality is in the detail ... and unmatched detail like this drives me nuts
