Installed carpet backwards for 3 years until a customer pointed it out

I always laid carpet with the nap running toward the door because it looked cleaner that way, but a customer last week told me that's why her vacuum kept catching. She showed me the manufacturer tag on the roll that said the arrow points away from the main light source. Has anyone else had a similar facepalm moment with direction?

That arrow thing explains why my curtains never hung right either.

And curtains have little arrows too? My mind is blown right now.
