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 like fixing these digitally.
Straight to jail
honestly the most infuriating part of this is that you didn't match the colors
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
Yes he was and then this next guy exists.
I low key love it.
I'm paid to fix what's under the covers cover aesthetics is not in my job description
Same bro
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.

Somehow I can just tell where this photo was taken.
That is the most British looking paving slams I've ever seen.
reality can be whatever i want
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.
Seeing this picture feels like getting a thorn out of your foot
This isn't mildly infuriating it's very infuriating! I'm genuinely quite cross
where in the UK is this lmao
I'll only accept American roads that have zero orientation issues.
Perfection
Happy cake day!
Thank you! ☺️
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.
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.
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.

They're trolling. It's not just that they're not paid enough to care, it's that they're so criminally underpaid, they've lost respect for everyone. If they were happy at their work, paid well, had benefits, and paid time off, and were treated well, they'd never consider trolling like this. We'd all feel like part of a community that respected and valued our input, and we'd all treat each other much better.
It's a class war, and every year there's less for us to share because the filthy rich refuse to share, and cannot be satisfied. It's about power, and what good is power if it's not exercised--wielded over others?

I work for an telco and I have seen a lot of times that a contract for using preexisting underground infrastructure that have lids like this has a section requiring that they are returned to the same location and orientation when the enclosure is sealed.
Whoever owns that, municipality or private, will probably take a complaint about it, and may pass it to whoever is responsible or owns the plant inside.
This ruined my day, thanks.
Edit: here is some eyebleech:
Sorry, that photo isn't perfect either.
This is made from sand by monks.
