Serious question, why does everyone in my town keep installing door hinges with the pin on the wrong side?
I've fixed three doors this month where the hinge barrel was facing the jamb, not the room, so the door swings the wrong way. Has anyone else seen this trend, or is it just my local hardware store giving out bad advice?

It's probably a mix of cheap pre-hung doors and DIYers not paying attention. The hinges come assembled wrong straight from the factory sometimes. People just slap them in without checking the swing. I see it all the time on quick flip jobs where they cut every corner. Your hardware store clerk might not know any better either.
