Things that happen when you install a directional chain the wrong way

In a rush to assemble my new Yeti ASRc I installed the XT chain in the wrong direction. On the first ride I dropped the chain twice, once on BB side and also off the big ring. Another weird thing happened. When I was riding, not even touching the front shifter, it shifted onto the big ring. The big clue is one side of the chain has "shimano" printed on the links, and that should face outwards. Overall I think I did a good job on the build. It always takes longer than expected and I rarely look at manuals anymore except for torque settings.
