I wouldn’t get too excited. I used to work for McDonalds when I was a teen, and one of jobs was coming in early cleaning up and raising the flag. I was usually dead tired and half asleep. One day I put up the flag upside down and heard from it pretty fast from the manager. I had some part-time jobs in those days, and that was not one of my favorite ones.

There was a situation during the Tor.-Atl. World Series once year when the Marine honor guard accidentally flew the Canadian flag upside down

Wiki.:

>>Before the game started, during the performance of the National Anthems of the United States and Canada, the U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard accidentally flew the flag of Canada upside down. The Corps apologized for the error and took pains to carry the flag properly prior to Game 3 in Toronto after insisting that they would be honored to do so

--

I remember the announcement said they "requested the privilege" of carrying the flag again. T shirts showing an upside down US flag and the words "SORRY EH!" were sold in Toronto at the time
