There's something about broken patterns, a symmetry that's out of order, and flawed elements that seem to trigger us... Even if you're not a perfectionist, our brains just seem to prefer things that are ordered in a nice way. Not to mention how annoying things not in the right place can be.

To show you what we're talking about, Bored Panda has put together a list of disturbing photos that are guaranteed to invoke OCD. Don't believe me? Just take a look below and try to go through the whole imperfections list without muttering "aarrgh."

Do you have any awkward photos that annoy you? Add them to the list, and don't forget to vote!

some of my colleagues do this, I sometimes ask them for a file that I know is in there. It frustrates them too at that moment :-)

Indeed it looks uncomfortable, but somehow I love the weirdness of it. Almost wanna have a similar design for my own door.

I guess this might be good for kids. My little sister (8 years old) was sitting next to me and she laughed like a crazy person when she saw this :-D I don't know, I thought it was creepy at first, but now I really don't know what to think about it when she found it so funny :-D she said that their smiles look like rabbits and Sponge Bob :-D I love children's imagination :-))

Or when you sharpen them nice and well, but they - not break - but SLIP out of the pencil as soon as you place the tip on the paper.

Even worse, if they are color coded! Green: need to try, Red: done it *high five*, yellow: need to research potential injuries associated and orange: need to buy X equipment lol

I would have sprayed it, so it would last forever. And if it were from a fast food place, no spray necessary - just put it on your shelf, it WILL last forever!

As a person who has studied Electronic Engineering, the s**t I've seen on stock photography is beyond my comprehension. Especially when you see these actively used in marketing campaigns. It's mind boggling...

Fun fact: it was used in Germany. Officially. To hire people into industrial / engineering education - wait for it - for young women. You know, to show that our usually male dominant population has the need for women, too. This went viral a few weeks ago XD

Also, what? You don't like the idea of women working in your field. Even though women are human beings too, and could be just as capable as men.

When you try to look smart but actually aren't, before doing a shoot there's at least three people there ie. the photographer , the subject , and the one in charge ,one of the three must have seen how a soldering iron works , I mean after soldering you need to take your hand off and like this it would be stuck to the iron by the time you finish if you are not screaming.

I've seen this. She apparently has never used a HOT EFFIN SOLDERING IRON & she's soldering the WRONG SIDE!!!

In all fairness, if you've never seen or soldered, you probably wouldn't know any better.

the metal part she is holding is super hot (when solder is turned on) and so people don't usually hold it lol. the pic above shows the proper way
