WTF Is Up With This Pencil Sharpener in "Stranger Things"?

DON'T WORRY!  NO SPOILERS IN THIS BLOG!

I was watching Season 2, episode 2 of Stranger Things today and noticed two things.   First of all, Lucas DOES have parents.  His mom took pictures of him in his Ghostbusters costume while his sister made fun of him.  So it's good to know he has at least one parent.

Okay, good to know he's not an orphan or his parents just don't pay any attention to him!

But here's the REAL question.  Look at this picture of Nancy sharpening a pencil and see if you notice something really odd.

See it?  The pencil sharpener is mounted sideways!  It should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise!  It's kind of hard to tell in this still but she has to reach around the back of the shelf to turn the crank!  WTF?

Look at how pencil sharpeners SHOULD be mounted!

You stand in front of it, the pencil goes in the left side, and you comfortably turn the crank with your right hand.

I don't know if they still have pencil sharpeners in schools anymore.  But if they don't, that probably explains it.  Someone who constructed the set didn't remember having them in schools so they took a good guess.  When it was time for the cameras to roll, the director probably just hoped no one would notice.

Am I crazy?  Comment below if you think this is odd too!  Or if you think It's totally fine!
