Someone went through all the trouble of carefully making everything match, only for others to not care enough to put in 0.1% of that effort and keep it in order when they work on it.
Seems like a great analogy for my work experience these days.
I low key love it.
One is placed correctly by accident. The indifference is just so beautiful.
*wipes I tear.
I think both (counting from the top) number 2 and 4 are placed correctly.
Yup, swap 1 & 3 and 5 & 6 and 😘👌
The person who made the panels was super careful
I'm paid to fix what's under the covers cover aesthetics is not in my job description
Same bro
I like fixing these digitally.
Straight to jail
honestly the most infuriating part of this is that you didn't match the colors
Somebody spent time properly paving these covers so that they don't interrupt the pattern, then later someone didn't spent one second trying to put them back the way they were
didn’t spent one second
They did, and took pictures.
I love it when someone replaces manhole covers upside down or the lines in the road painted on the cover are off kilter
It activates the technician part of my brain and I'm left wondering what the symbol is for on the piping diagram.
Somehow I can just tell where this photo was taken.
That is the most British looking paving slams I've ever seen.
This isn't mildly infuriating it's very infuriating! I'm genuinely quite cross
Someone geolocate this so we can go and fix it!
get ~~rainman~~ rainbolt on the case
reality can be whatever i want
Seeing this picture feels like getting a thorn out of your foot
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
where in the UK is this lmao
One to three and five to six will solve the puzzle. There better be a loot chest.
You found me! Yahaha
I expect the whole central curve to open to reveal a spiral staircase to the next level.
I'll only accept American roads that have zero orientation issues.
Perfection
Happy cake day!
Thank you! ☺️
This is a perfect example of "Not My Job" at work.
I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, "Yes, that's part of your job."
You make the assumption that the company pays them well or treats them like human beings, rather than gaslighting them into accepting minimal pay, thus supporting the fiefdom of the C-Suite.
No Pay, No Work. Minimal Pay, Substandard Work. Victims fight back against their abusers in passive ways at first. Consider this picture as such.
I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren't paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to bother worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

These are fully intentional.
I love it
It's quite poetic innit
Someone thought of you folks when doing this.
As every manhole I ever saw was put back in place in such a way, that the patterns don't line up, I'm pretty sure, that the maintenance guys are doing this on purpose.
According to the very last quote in the article mentioned here:
"As someone who works in them... we do it 100% on purpose!" one man said.
