This isn’t mildly infuriating it’s very infuriating! I’m genuinely quite cross
Someone geolocate this so we can go and fix it!

rainmanrainbolt on the case
I’m paid to fix what’s under the covers cover aesthetics is not in my job description
One is placed correctly by accident. The indifference is just so beautiful.
*wipes I tear.
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
It looks like a Mario stage.
“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.
Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol
Dumb or lazy? Why not just apathetic?
“Not payed enough to care”
where in the UK is this lmao
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 you put them on in the right order a korok pops out and gives you a seed
YATTA
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.
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 someone argues against the death penalty, show them this image
This is a perfect example of “Not My Job” at work.
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?
Your loop condition fails the next street where there’s a round hole without a distinguishable pattern
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.
Chalk
- rain washes it off after a few weeks
- only have to open one at a time instead of 2+
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.
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 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.
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.
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
Lol, OP is this in the UK? I have a feeling it might.
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
