Does anyone else have this "issue"?

It's not a serious issue or a problem really, but...

On earbuds or what you want to call them, earphones... The ones you put in you're ear to ear the music.
They are labelled "L" and "R" for left and right (I'm smart) but the L one only fits on my Right ear, and the R one only fits in my left... Is it suppose to be like that? It's not just one pair it has been with all I've ever owned

L/R stereo channels, so it depends on what you are listening to. The mono (center) component of the sound field won’t be affected. As an example assume you have a guitarist on stage to your right, keyboard player to your left, drummer behind a singer. Quite possibly if you reverse the earbuds you’ll have the guitar coming thru on the left. Keyboardist on the right, so it might or might not matter much. Vocals, bass, and much of the drums are centered so won’t matter as much.
