reality can be whatever i want

I like fixing these digitally.

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.

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.

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

Perfection

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

"Not my fucking job"

Where's c/notmyjob

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

These are fully intentional.

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

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

theres no way this was laziness....

.....this is malice in its purest chaos....

It's somehow worse imo, why is there 1 random correct one?!

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

This ruined my day, thanks.

Edit: here is some eyebleech:

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 kind of like it. It's all trippy, in like an artistic sort of way.

if you put them on in the right order a korok pops out and gives you a seed

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.

Somehow I can just tell where this photo was taken.

That is the most British looking paving slams I've ever seen.

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...

One is placed correctly by accident. The indifference is just so beautiful.

*wipes I tear.

It looks like a Mario stage.

I'm paid to fix what's under the covers cover aesthetics is not in my job description

I love it

where in the UK is this lmao

at least they got one right

When the background doesn’t render correctly.

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.

I like it somehow.

The more I'm looking at it, the more I actually love it! It breaks this boring monotony.

Someone thought of you folks when doing this.
