By nature, people appreciate symmetry. Most individuals like when things are organized and structured simply because it makes life so much easier. So, when they see something out of line, it becomes an annoyance.
Depending on the person and the โthingโ involved, whether itโs something lopsided, tilted, or wonky, it makes them feel anything from uncomfortable to furious. For some people, it becomes almost impossible to get an annoyance from their minds. Even individuals who arenโt perfectionists donโt like it when somethingโs out of whack.
To prove this point, consider these 60 photos. Keep in mind that if youโre one of those individuals who hate seeing things off-kilter, you may need a stiff drink or a relaxing bubble bath after viewing them. Otherwise, you might find them either cringe-worthy or somewhat entertaining.
1. What happened?
The design of this bathroom floor tile alone is enough to send anyone into a tailspin. But then when you notice the extreme error, itโs enough for you to write a letter to the manufacturer, designer, installer, or someone to file a complaint. This is just horrible.

2. Overachiever or narcissist?
This person might be an overachiever. You know, someone who has to do 100 things at the same time. Or, theyโre a narcissist whoโs trying to prove to others that theyโre superior. Either way, thereโs no reason for anyone to have this number of shortcuts on a computer screen.

3. Oops
What do you want to bet the building manager was too cheap to buy a couple of letters? With extra โtโsโ and โhโsโ on hand, they decided those would work just fine. Even for people who arenโt English majors, this would easily drive them crazy. Time to get out a Sharpie.

4. Whatโs the point?
Was this cutout done by mistake or are people supposed to put their heads through that thing so they can pretend theyโre a French baker? Not only is this annoying but also extremely confusing. Sorry, we donโt get it.

5. Whyโฆjust why?
Okay, so they had a certain number of green and red lockers to work with. But this ruins the entire hallway. The only good thing is that friends have an easy place to meet. โHey, Iโll see you at 2:00 at the red locker.โ

6. They were so close
Just another foot to the left and they wouldโve nailed it. Is it just us or does it seem like the person who painted this was super lazy? Youโd think theyโd correct their mistake instead of allowing it to drive people nuts.

7. Feeling bored
The people responsible for designing the layout of this neighborhood mustโve been bored on this particular day. So, they wanted to shake things up. If not, thereโs no explanation.

8. Very true
And if you donโt believe this message, just look at the way it was printed. This wasnโt rocket science. It was a simple statement that took a really bad turn.

9. Itโs all in the details
How does a floor installer do something like this? And why didnโt they fix their mistake? Yes, itโs small, but itโs also super annoying. For anyone who has to see this day after day, itโs enough to make them cringe.

10. Broken glasses
Apparently, the person responsible for this broke their glassed when printing the second version. After getting a new pair, they realized the problem and went back to the original font size. Didnโt they consider how idiotic the series would look on someoneโs bookshelfโฆobviously, not.

11. Fine dining
How do you know when youโre eating at a bogus high-end restaurant? They hang the chandelier like this. Now you know the next time you go out for an expensive meal you can gauge the establishmentโs level of class by the lighting.

12. Excellent work (note a tone of sarcasm)
Look, they used the same color of bricks and lined this up perfectly. What happened to people taking pride in their work? It seems itโs a lost art.

13. Darn it
Speaking of not taking pride in work. Instead of using the right size brick or even cutting it to fit, someone finished the job so it looked like this. What a shame.

14. DIY project
Since this black racing stripe is so far off center, weโre certain it was done by the carโs owner. Since thatโs a super nice car, youโd think theyโd have it done professionally or at least take measurements instead of eyeballing it.

15. Come onโฆ
โฆyouโve got to be kidding. Hereโs a beautiful home, complete with gorgeous molding. Did the individual who did this really think it was okay? And if they did, why?

16. Itโs still functional
Thatโs about the only nice thing we can say about this. As long as the person trying to fix dinner places the pan on the stove just right, theyโll be fine. If they miss, well, thatโs a different story.

17. Itโs hardly noticeable
As long as no one looks at the staircase too long, theyโll never see it. Perhaps the people who built this house have an eclectic flair and this was done on purpose. Then again, maybe someone messed up.

18. Optical illusion
For the average person, having this on the corner of every page in the notebook wouldnโt be that big of a deal. But for others, this โoptical illusionโ would make them dizzy. Personally, weโd want our money back.

Reddit/asdfghjkisofia
19. Itโs a straight shot
A key selling point of this house is the beautiful stairs that are a straight shot to the front door. Oh, and about two feet to the right. Other than that, itโs perfect. On a positive note โ it does provide a little extra space for a front porch swing.

20. Great privacy
After a long day at work, nothing feels better than a hot shower or bubble bathโฆtaken in complete privacy. The person who lives in this house can do just thatโฆminus the privacy. When it comes to bathroom designs, this one gets an โF.โ

21. Is it even safe?
From the street level, this looks like a lovely apartment building. But if you look up, youโd immediately question whether itโs even safe to live in? Would you want to take a chance living there?

22. Feeling left out
This poor raspberry packageโฆall the others get to share the same name but itโs all on its own. If the company was trying some kind of new marketing strategy, letโs just say it didnโt work.

23. We get it
Someone from Louisiana was trying really hard to be clever. The only problem โ the shape of that state doesnโt look anything like the letter โO.โ It was a nice try, though.

24. A perfect excuse
The kids who fail this teacherโs class have a perfect excuse as to why they should pass. Without completely erasing the chalkboard before moving onto something else, this guy gives his class two outsโฆeither they didnโt understand or they mistook his chicken scratches as part of the lesson.

25. Sure, why not?
Well, there are 1,000 reasons why not. First, thereโs no symmetry. Second, the number of lights is outrageous. Third, these lights donโt use standard lightbulbs. That should be plenty although there are many more.

26. Patch job number 79
When a road starts to look like a Picasso painting, itโs time to repave it. Although the design is nice, this is enough to cause even a non-perfectionist to lose their mind.

27. Itโs for protection
Thatโs what one grandpa tells his granddaughter about every item he purchases. If it has plastic on it, it stays protected. While he has a point, sheโs going nuts.

28. Feng Shui
For people who believe in Chinese geomancy, this bathroom is a dream come true. Instead of taking care of business facing the wrong direction, they can maintain peace and harmony. How nice.

29. โBring Your Kid to Workโ day
Weโd put money on it thatโs what happened here. After all, this looks as though it was done by a five-year-old. So, it makes perfect sense.

30. โYeah, I got itโ
That was the response of a worker whose boss asked if heโd put the manhole cover back on. Hey, he didnโt ask if he put it back on correctly. The next time, he might want to check it for himself.

31. Good morning
Or in this case, bad morningโฆevery day. Just imagine how youโd feel if the first thing you saw when you woke up was this. Itโd probably get your day off to a bad start.

32. Poor advertising
Donโt you hate it when you see something so off that you know you could do a much better job at it? Like this pizza. If a company is going to advertise its delicious Italian-style pie, they might want to work a little harder at cutting it right.

33. Umโฆokay
Itโs a place for a child to sit. No, itโs a platform to display a vase of flowers. Nope, thatโs not it. Itโs a serving table, although very low to the ground. Honestly, we have no clue. Itโs just there for the sake of being there.

34. Machinery malfunction
That has to be the problem. Why else would a candy manufacturer have their packaging cut so it reads, โonky.โ It might be delicious but we canโt imagine very many people would find this funny.
Source:
Reddit/Astorphobis
35. A cause of nightmares
Everything about this is wrong. The angle of the sink, the door, the cabinet, and the countertop. Trying to work in a kitchen like this would cause anyone to struggle with sleep. And then thereโs the size of the sinkโฆitโs too much to handle.

36. Wasted space
Surely, plumbers can find straight pipes. This looks horrible and it wastes a lot of valuable space. This would drive a sane person crazy.

37. Oh my
All this homeowner wanted was a nice little easement over the front door. Or maybe they wanted a new front door installed under the existing easement. Regardless, someone screwed up big time.

38. Was this really necessary?
Considering this is so blatantly wrong, it wonโt take much time before someone sues the company that installed the brick citing it led to undue stress and anxiety. Itโs so bad, they might just win their case.

39. Enhancing the picture
It appears the woman of this house believes having half of the television screen covered makes the picture better. But if you were trying to take in all the details of a show, this is more than mind-boggling.

40. Translation, please
Okay, so if you take your time, you can read this message. But whatโs with all the โSโs?โ Perhaps this person is trying to use fancy lettering or maybe they never learned to make the correct shape. Itโs so disturbing that reading it once is plenty.

41. Artistic expression
Look at that, someone tried to use both round and square light fixtures to make this place more appealing. That we can kind of accept. But the upside-down light at the endโฆthereโs just no rhyme or reason.

42. You just want to scream
Something like this is so maddening. Come on, it doesnโt take any more time to put the numbers in order than to do this. If they thought it was a joke, no oneโs laughing.

43. What were they thinking?
Brick buildings are beautiful. Brick buildings like this oneโฆnot so much. It looks as though the owner of this apartment complex was trying to save money. But does that make it okay to put the tenants at risk?

44. It only takes one
First, the pattern on this shower floor isnโt the best. Second, all it takes is for one small tile to be a little lopsided and thatโs all you see for the rest of day. Especially for a perfectionist, this would be extremely difficult.

45. Missing trains
Something as insignificant as this could easily cause someone to miss their train. They become fixated on the mistake and before they know it, their ride has come and gone. Itโs time to use a different station.

46. Something seems a little off
Not only is the garage lopsided but thatโs also a very short garage door. Someone would have to have a super small vehicle or ride a motorcycle to even use it. It makes no sense.

47. They had one job
How hard can it be to center the dot on a dice? After all, machinery does it automatically. Donโt they have some kind of quality control measures in place?

48. Interesting
Just look at this church. Almost nothing on the exterior lines up. For some people, itโd be hard to sit through a sermon because the only thing on their mind would be the inconsistencies on the outside.

52. The wrong way
Especially for households with teenagers, this is relatively common. Even so, that doesnโt make it okay. For people who like to do things the right way, this will send them over the edge.

53. Damaged goods
Some people have no respect for others. All they think about is themselves. Case in point, this pumpkin pie. Sadly, they ruined it for everyone else who wanted some.

55. The guessing game
For the people who live in this house, every day is like being on a game show. You know, is it behind door number one, two, or three? Do they really need this number of switches? Surely, no one requires that much lighting.

57. Two solutions
Whoever uses this bathroom stall has two options. They can either sit on the toilet thatโs six feet away and use their toes to keep the door shut or shout โoccupiedโ every time they hear the door open. Itโs a lose-lose situation.

58. They were only off by โthis muchโ
This blows symmetry right out of the water. The only thing we know to say about this is, โWhat the heck?โ Maybe someone came to work still feeling the effects of the night before.
