theres no way this was laziness....

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

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

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.

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

*wipes I tear.

[–] OddMinus1@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 31 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They're all shifted down by one

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From the top, #2 and #4 are in the correct positions.

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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 52 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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?

Sorry, that photo isn't perfect either.

This is made from sand by monks.

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

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

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

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.

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

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

didn’t spent one second

They did, and took pictures.
