It's b/c the bottom(and top) buttons get more stress from being pulled than the others. A horizontal hole can take more of that stress than a vertical before it tears. It's also the same reason why those holes also usually have more/thicker stitching than the other holes.

I hate the commercial for Outback that say the price as "10 bucks ninety nine" instead of "10 dollars and ninety nine cents." Take that stupid Aussie **** back to your penal colony.

When you correct somebody on FB who posts one of these horribly easy to check stories by posting the snopes link and then they delete your post.......

I figured it was just to signify that those were the top and bottom holes. So it would just be easier to align the right buttons..

I'll agree with that explanation, since there's no mention of tearing.

Who buttons the bottom button anyway? It's usually stuffed in your pants.

Stupid horizontal button hole just makes feel like a moron, because it's much harder to work than it should be. Muscle memory is a bitch.

And then compound it by not putting the US and Canada at the top of the list so you have to scroll to find them. How many people in Bhutan are really buying stuff off the internet?

White women on the internet who act like they need to change their panties over ridiculous dessert recipes.

"Omg this chocolate lasagna recipe is amazing!"

No, its just another recycled parfait that is ordinary in every way, you moron.

**** you, clueless tourists. And you stand right, walk left on escalators, *******.

I love you guys, but you're doing it wrong. These SHOULD piss you off. Dom, they're disrespecting everyone else at the table's time. RJ, they're in their own little bubble instead of conforming to social norms that are in place to make things not a cluster****. You also should be mad about men who spread their legs wide thus taking up two seats and women who do the same using their giant diaper-bag purses.

I assume he means people who get their cards, look, set them down then look again 5 seconds later when they're not holding up the action or broadcasting a flush draw.
