The day I figured out my ceiling hooks were backwards

I spent two years hanging bikes and ladders from those ceiling storage hooks with the hook part facing in toward the wall. Then my buddy came over to borrow my extension ladder and asked why I made it so hard to grab things. He showed me you're supposed to point the hooks outward so you can slide stuff off without climbing halfway onto a stack of bins. Has anyone else had a garage storage setup that just felt wrong until someone pointed out the obvious?

Facing them inward to stop accidents is actually genius, keeps your hands safe.

Ha, I actually kind of prefer them facing in. Keeps things from sliding off when you bump a ladder getting something else down. Makes you think twice before grabbing gear you don't actually need.

Wait, do you find yourself grabbing less stuff overall with that setup?
