I don't know why but when I look at this I feel uneasy and something inside me whispers: what the hell, what kind of nonsense is this?

[-] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 10 minutes ago

This isn't mildly infuriating it's very infuriating! I'm genuinely quite cross

One to three and five to six will solve the puzzle. There better be a loot chest.

I expect the whole central curve to open to reveal a spiral staircase to the next level.

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.

I'll only accept American roads that have zero orientation issues.

Perfection

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 12 points 9 hours ago

These are fully intentional.

[-] unabart@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago

Imagine being an architect or engineer… fancy office, sweet ass car, six figures… and you sit down one day to engineer “where should we put the access panels?” or “where should we but the divider pavers?” and THIS was your solution.

If you were the one being underpaid to do his job, you would do the same.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

depends on how exhausted I am already on that day, but honestly probably not. I try not to go above and beyond for my employer without some kind of agreed upon compensation but stuff like this I'd do right just for my own satisfaction

[-] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Putting shit back the way you found it is not "above and beyond"

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 35 minutes ago

Unfortunately it is. People fucking suck. Don't believe me? Go for a walk in a place where litter stands out like a beach or a hiking trail. Or in a supermarket (barely any litter, but items abandoned by shoppers that changed their mind about buying said items)

[-] enbiousenvy 23 points 15 hours ago

I realized the lids are not wrong just not placed in the right spot.

[-] Part4@infosec.pub 8 points 11 hours ago

Yeah it is that comedian work colleague putting them back in the wrong place for a laugh.

[-] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 106 points 21 hours ago

This is a perfect example of "Not My Job" at work.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, "Yes, that's part of your job."

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 31 points 19 hours ago

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They're all shifted down by one

Let's say your job is to check whatever is under those lids. How do you best mark it as having been done so you don't re-open the same panel multiple times?

[-] trepX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

Your loop condition fails the next street where there's a round hole without a distinguishable pattern

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

You'd have to be pretty dumb to not be able to keep track of 6 lids in a line.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

If this is your job, you aren't tracking 6 lids, you're tracking all the lids, probably in an entire section of the city. Possibly hundreds. Being able to look at a glance and see if you've already done it is clutch.

Next time it's time for a check, you put them back on the right way.

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

If your job is to check hundreds, you'd keep track of the roads you've checked. There's no need to keep track of each individual spot.

[-] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 8 points 15 hours ago

Open all of them... Only place cover back when you're done.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago

Chalk

  • rain washes it off after a few weeks
  • only have to open one at a time instead of 2+
[-] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 3 points 15 hours ago

Nah, they just couldn't be bothered with putting things back in the proper order, they're union workers and it's almost quitting time because OT isn't getting paid.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 23 points 18 hours ago
[-] cabillaud@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

"Not payed enough to care"

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 37 points 17 hours ago

Which is funny because if your job requires you to touch those lids, it would be your fucking job.

This is just the work of lazy fucks or they're truly dumb as a bag of rocks.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

Two sets of lids were swapped. Those lids can be pretty heavy. Whats inside them usually are valves for plumbing.

So after the 100th set of valves you've backflow tested that day and you're resetting the lids in 100F+ degree heat and you turn around as you're walking away with your gear that you swapped two lids?

Well, having done this work at two different times in my life: the size of paycheck matters decidedly on whether that's getting fixed.

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Dumb or lazy? Why not just apathetic?

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 28 points 19 hours ago

Looks like your textures didn't load properly. You gotta shut down the road and restart it.

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 39 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

This ruined my day, thanks.

Edit: here is some eyebleech:

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 43 points 21 hours ago

Sorry, that photo isn't perfect either.

This is made from sand by monks.

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 15 points 20 hours ago

the tic-tac's were perfect, get new eyes.

Not even close, collums and rows are horribly offset

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.

[-] Lyra_Lycan 36 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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.

[-] jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 42 points 22 hours ago

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.

[-] sqw@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 15 hours ago

design challenge: invent a treatment for these access lids that allows them to be swapped around while remaining aesthetically pleasing. it occurred to me that some physical forcing function might keep them in the right order also...

Nice. But I prefer this one.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

It looks like a Mario stage.
