I love it
It’s quite poetic innit
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.
Just a glitch
A son of a glitch.
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 mean, I fucking would
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.
if you put them on in the right order a korok pops out and gives you a seed
YATTA
It’s somehow worse imo, why is there 1 random correct one?!
I think 2 are actually in the correct spot. It’s just looks wrong because the two next to it are swapped.
If someone argues against the death penalty, show them this image
This screams UK or Ireland. I see shit like this all the time!
Yep, it’s Bridgford. There is a rather hilarious article about local complaints.
The fact that this is a news article about a mundane social media post is another issue I won’t go into lol
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
Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.
This is the way.
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?
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.
Your loop condition fails the next street where there’s a round hole without a distinguishable pattern
Chalk
- rain washes it off after a few weeks
- only have to open one at a time instead of 2+
You’d have to be pretty dumb to not be able to keep track of 6 lids in a line.
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.
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.
Open all of them… Only place cover back when you’re done.
I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, “Yes, that’s part of your job.”
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.
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.
This ruined my day, thanks.
Edit: here is some eyebleech:
Sorry, that photo isn’t perfect either.
This is made from sand by monks.
That gives me anxiety, it’s too elaborate.
Oh wow guys this looks incredi… 🤧Achoo!!
Fuck!
Don’t worry, they destroy it soon after
Oh god, why do I suddenly feel the need to sneeze
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
the tic-tac’s were perfect, get new eyes.
Not even close, collums and rows are horribly offset
i think you’re just making things up
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?
Holy crap you’re deep in a conspiracy hole
I like it somehow.
The more I’m looking at it, the more I actually love it! It breaks this boring monotony.
Same, I find this one very pleasing
These “shitty design” pics are fun, we need more
This isn’t a design problem. It’s a maintenance problem. The panels were put back in the wrong order.
If they swap panels 1&2 and then 4&6, the design would be fine.
When the background doesn’t render correctly.
at least they got one right
Probably didn’t have to remove that one.
It looks like two are right
Two, no?
Tbf, they said ‘at least’.
Yes, but in the wrong place
