Why does my water come out at an angle?

From the kitchen faucet, which is the standard, stock MH faucet, it comes out at an angle, which is weird and frustrating, I know I shouldn't b***h about having water pressure, but this is really strange!
What's up with this?

Unscrew the screen from the faucet, it might have some blockage.

Also, the chrome spigot that you see the water coming out of is not actually carrying the water. Inside the chrome part is copper tubing that dispenses the water. It may be hitting the aerator at a funny angle or may even be bent at the tip of the copper tube. At east that is hoe the faucets I have looked at are made.

ha ha! It's straight! I fixed it, I fixed it (in a skippy-childish-sing-songy-tone)
so this is what that feeling is like... I might need to get my own tool belt now, at the very least I feel like hiking my pants up, brushing my hands together, and standing valiantly with my fists on my hips!

So was there debris in the screen?

no oddly enough, but just to be sure I gave it a good rinse, then screwed it back on, turned the water on and off on and off, and poof! I'm ready for HGTV
