There is something involuntarily satisfying about cutting a perfectly proportioned line of cake or filling out a coloring book and staying exactly inside the lines. Our world is filled with natural symmetry right down to the human design itself, so when our brains register symmetry it is pleasing to the eyes.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, when something is asymmetrical or ‘off’ it triggers a primal warning that something is not quite right. Sure some of us are more obsessive than others, but even the most relaxed of us can get fixated on a big enough mistake. Bored Panda has collected a list of images that are skewed just wrong enough to make the perfectionist inside you cringe. From a rebel flower turned away from the crowd to misspelled keyboard keys. Scroll down below for the full list and don't forget to upvote your favs!

The Monopoly Deed Cards Are Cut Wrong. I Can Barely Focus On Bankrupting My Kids
I've bought a cheap monopoly some years ago, about 5$ (the price for a good, original one here is about 30$+ ), there are so many wrong cards it makes the game almost impossible. One fun card says "Virginica (little virgin translated into my language) while the board says Virginia. All the prices are messed up also, they do not go up up the colors, some cards in the middle of the path are worth less then some from the beginning xD

The Positioning Of This Straw Hole
That actually makes sense. It's awkward to have that hole in the center, especially if it's a big glass. Think about it for a minute...what contortions do you have to go through to get the last little bit of your drink if the hole is in the middle?

Loved it! My Mom and I see these things all the time. We make a game out of it... If one of us sees something off, we ask the other to find it.
