It’s no mystery that many people enjoy order and symmetry. When everything’s in its proper place, it makes us feel good and scratches a deep inner itch that some of us weren’t even aware of before. On the flip side, if there’s even a small error in an otherwise extremely neat landscape, it can end up thoroughly annoying us.
To show you what we mean, our team at Bored Panda has compiled this list of photos where nearly everything is organized neatly, but something is ever so slightly off. We’d love to just go through the screen and adjust things until they’re perfect because these mistakes are making us uncomfortable. Scroll down to take a peek at the pics below and be sure to upvote the ones that annoyed you on a fundamental level.
Bored Panda got in touch with Anthony Smith, LMHC, who shed some light on why human beings enjoy symmetry and how, for some people who have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Tourette's syndrome, and perfectionistic personalities, it can become an obsession. Read on for our full interview with Smith, a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience in Massachusetts and the host of the ‘Up and Running’ blog on Psychology Today.

How? I understand when there is wrong color brick, that makes sense (it is laziness), but this? To do this you have to cut 3 other bricks and that is not something you do accidentally.

Just Re-Pave The Damn Road At This Point
Fellow Motorcyclists will know - these are really dangerous in the summer, because that stuff melts. On a halfway-liquid road, you can't transmit forces like on an intact, so this does lead to preventable accidents. Taxes paid related to vehicle possession and usage are enough to demand not to be preventably endangered by the bad state the road surface is in and the unfit attempts to repair. We shouldn't do this. We shouldn't accept it being done, but make the road require a repair that is out of reach for this stupid method!

Replaced The Missing Tile Good As New
In my childhood a neighborhood house (apartment building) had tiles on the outside. One day a car crashed into it and damaged two of the large (as big as a coffee table probably) tiles. What did they do? Get new ones and replace them? Nooo... They broke up the damaged ones and filled the hole with that like a bad mosaic.

Noticed These Baseball Fields On A Flight Into Phoenix
Salt River Fields, Scottsdale , AZ. Spring training home to the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks. The "backwards" practice field was intentionally designed that way so that "home runs' wouldn't fly over the right field wall of the main stadium.

Some men aren't looking for anything logical. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
