Default Mirror Puzzle

Some time ago I was asked the following question. After I really couldn't figure it out, I was given an answer, and never did understand it completely. So, I'm seeking an explanation.

When you look in a mirror, left and right is reversed. Yet, up and down are not. Why does a mirror prefer one reflection axis over another?
