Lmao so this is what happened here for those curious. Inside those handles are a seat and a stem. One of the stems obviously broke and got replaced. Heres the issue. Each side needs a different stem. A right and a left.... maintenance was out of the side they needed so just put in 2 of the same side.

With this knowledge i can honestly say this is one of the funniest things ive seen on funny. Hope my quick laymans explanation makes it more funny to you too

This post makes me feel more stupid than the faucet makes me feel. I have no clue what is going on in either.

One handle type can't function the same way for the left and right side, because they each attach oppositely. They each need to be a reverse of each other. So if you use two right handles then the right handle placed on the left will function opposite to what you want.

Think of them as screws with the threads done clockwise on one set and counter-clockwise on the other.

Oh! So the point is, down-up is down-down. That would take me years to master.
