Thinking about how we did layouts with chalk before lasers... my blunder led to a backwards flange and a lot of teasing.

Wait, how do you even flip a flange?

Seriously, you just turn it over, @william_baker.

Yeah, "just turn it over" is way too simple. It depends on the flange. If it's got a raised face or a flat gasket surface, flipping it makes the seal wrong. Bolt holes might line up, but then you're mating the wrong surfaces. You can really mess up a connection doing that.
