Thanks I hate it

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
I like fixing these digitally.
Straight to jail
honestly the most infuriating part of this is that you didn't match the colors
This is a perfect example of "Not My Job" at work.
This looks more like someone did it on purpose.
They're all shifted down by one
From the top, #2 and #4 are in the correct positions.
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?
Open all of them... Only place cover back when you're done.
You'd have to be pretty dumb to not be able to keep track of 6 lids in a line.

- rain washes it off after a few weeks
- only have to open one at a time instead of 2+

I'll only accept American roads that have zero orientation issues.
Perfection
Happy cake day!
I realized the lids are not wrong just not placed in the right spot.
Yeah it is that comedian work colleague putting them back in the wrong place for a laugh.
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.
I mean, I fucking would
If you were the one being underpaid to do his job, you would do the same.
This ruined my day, thanks.
Edit: here is some eyebleech:
Sorry, that photo isn't perfect either.
This is made from sand by monks.
Oh man that just unlocked a memory! When I was in elementary school we'd have a world culture day every year and there were a couple of moms who'd do that on a table each year and I was always in awe at the intricacy and fragility of the design
Oh god, why do I suddenly feel the need to sneeze
the tic-tac's were perfect, get new eyes.
Not even close, columns and rows are horribly offset
i think you're just making things up

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
I'm paid to fix what's under the covers cover aesthetics is not in my job description
Looks like your textures didn't load properly. You gotta shut down the road and restart it.
Brb, unplugging the universe for a second.
theres no way this was laziness....
.....this is malice in its purest chaos....
These are fully intentional.
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...
This isn't mildly infuriating it's very infuriating! I'm genuinely quite cross

where in the UK is this lmao
"Not my fucking job"
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.
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.
Dumb or lazy? Why not just apathetic?
Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol
One is placed correctly by accident. The indifference is just so beautiful.
*wipes I tear.

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?
