Is it just me or are the arrows the wrong way around for selecting

I feel that way about ALL dialog boxes in which one clicks the up arrow
to decrement and the down arrow to increment. To name just one
examples out of scores, if I open up the window to set my system's
clock and calendar, clicking the up arrow moves me to Jan 13, and
clicking the down arrow moves me to Jan 11.
I don't know why, but by my intuition, that's backward. To my way of
thinking, clicking down, as if continuing down the page, should make
the number become more/forward/later, whille clicking up should make
the number become less/backward/earlier.
Of course I realize that the standard practice in software is to do
exactly the opposite, but even after years of struggling with it, it
still feels wrong to me, and I still click the wrong arrow as often as
not.
