Fans

Why do the settings on a fan go: OFF, HIGH, MED, LOW?
Surely it would make more sense to go OFF, LOW, MED, HIGH?

I assume if it makes no sense to the user then it makes sense to the designer. Maybe there are three resistors wired in series with the switches so you have no, some, lots and a whole lot of resistance respectively. That would give you the same sequence.

However, you're right; it's just lazy.
