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.

The Way My Mom Watches TV With Things Obscuring The Screen
I can't stand glare or reflections from windows or lamps on my TV screen.
According to Smith, the host of the ‘Up and Running’ blog, people have an innate tendency to prefer symmetricality. This can be found in many areas of human life, as "evident from the fact that architecture and artifacts around the world, spanning the eons, are more often than not meticulously symmetrical."
The licensed mental health counselor continues that "we are symmetrical beings, and further, symmetricality is even in music composition, poetry verse arrangement, and any askewness is likely to be quickly recognized. How fast are many to run and straighten a picture?"
People Whose Desktops Look Like This
This is me. You do not want to see my desktop right now XD I have like 6 spaces left. I'll clean it up, I swear! >_>
I highly recommend to keep the desktop as clean as possible, especially do not keep there folders with lots of data (like pictures or movies). It slows the computer. And it really slows down startup.
Load More Replies...This would drive me crazy! I have everything sorted by type in individual files. Some of those have more files. How can you find anything like this!?!
I'm not trying to advocate for the mess above, but I also have no use for folders on my desktop: I may as well either put it somewhere I can search for it the once or twice I will need it again, or have it immediately accessable on my desktop, or at most one layer deep in a menu. Anything more and it's just lost. Take a minute and celebrate that minds work differently instead of insulting it.
Load More Replies...I am in IT and the number of clients that have this happening is stunning. How in the hell do you find anything? These are the kinds of people who have 24 emails open in Outlook at the same time, and a dozen spreadsheets in Excel. They then call in with a problem that may require a reboot of the computer and it takes them 10 minutes to close all their work before I can do anything.
Look, I know my three dozen chrome tabs are slowing even my gaming rig down notably, but if I close all those tabs I'll never remember that I forgot to pay that one bill three months ago, or that park I really want to go to next summer when it stops raining again.

However, at times, this desire to see and create symmetry everywhere can get out of hand. "For a more pervasive form of the need for symmetry, as in OCD, where things must be particularly arranged or otherwise ritualized, for instance, it could be assumed that it is part of keeping things controlled," Smith explained to Bored Panda.
"Consistent arrangement provides a sense of predictability, which lends itself to control. On a more subjective level, the compulsion to constantly neatly arrange things in one's environment might provide a sense of control, perhaps compensation, for the flurry of out-of-control anxiety that is their internal landscape."
The expert said that other researchers have suggested that while symmetry is a common symptom across OCD, "some sufferers are prone to primarily experiencing obsessions of symmetricality." Here, an obsession for people with OCD means intrusive thoughts, images, and impulses that provoke anxiety and are nearly impossible to suppress.

Load More Replies..."Further, there is some evidence this apparent subtype has a heavy genetic contribution," he said. Smith shared with Bored Panda what these researchers have said: "Specifically, one study found a significant association between the symmetry symptom dimension and the 2R allele of the DRD4 VNTR polymorphism, subsequently suggesting that this symptom dimension may represent a more homogeneous subtype of OCD with a genetic etiology. [31]"
According to the host of the ‘Up and Running’ blog, when it comes to most things psychiatric, both nature and nurture are at play here: "Nature cocks the hammer, and experience pulls the trigger/dictates when and how a genetic predisposition is expressed."

Quality Control Must Have Had The Day Off When This Was Created
Smith notes that OCD and Tourette's syndrome often co-occur, especially in males and there is a lot of research done on their link to symmetry.
"Tourette's is considered a neuropsychiatric complication, but is perhaps more neuro than psych, provided it is more of a movement disorder. Given OCD and Tourette's frequently co-occur, and disorders often 'play well together' it could also be a matter of this neuro-abnormal contribution of want for symmetry influencing obsessions," the mental health counselor said.

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.
I did masonry and bricklaying for a few years. This was absolutely done own purpose to annoy people. I'd guess that path is 70+ years old.
Full disclosure, Pandas, yours truly is definitely the type of person who gets annoyed when there’s a glitch in the Matrix and something ruins otherwise neat and symmetrical projects.
The odds are that many of you reading this right now also got slightly frustrated by the photos in this list, too. That’s because human beings find symmetry familiar and soothing, on a fundamental level. Life is messy enough as it is without people laying down tile patterns wrong!
According to ‘How Stuff Works,’ symmetry is built into many parts of nature, from animals to plants and even the structure of a snowflake. Symmetrical patterns are what our minds are used to recognizing, so they seem ‘natural’ to us. On the other hand, asymmetry can often be seen as a sign of illness or danger in nature.

The search for symmetry, and the emotional pleasure we derive when we find it, must help us make sense of the world around us, just as we find satisfaction in the repetition of the seasons and the reliability of friendships. Symmetry is also economy. Symmetry is simplicity. Symmetry is elegance,” physicist Alan Lightman writes in ‘The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew.’
The BBC points out that looking at symmetrical photos, whether of buildings or even someone’s meal, can calm us down when we’re feeling stressed and tired. We find order soothing and beautiful.
“Spending time looking at these feeds can be therapeutic,” Dave Mullen, the founder of the ‘Geometry Club’ Instagram account, told the BBC.
Just Re-Pave The Damn Road At This Point
Fellow Motorcyclists will know - these are really dangerous in the summer, because that stuff melts.

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!

Though many of us enjoy looking at symmetrical photos, it doesn’t mean that this desire for order translates into every other aspect of our lives. For example, someone who gets mad when they see someone else placing furniture off-center might not apply the same rules in their own home.
At the end of the day, people thrive in different home environments, and some of them seem messier than others. What matters, however, is that you’re comfortable with the way things are organized because it’s you who has to live with these systems at home.
Chicago-based psychologist Dr. Bethany Cook told ‘House Beautiful’ that people find comfort in the predictable because it creates a sense of safety. “Organizing your living space means you know where things are without searching, and this feels safe,” she explained, adding that you’ve gone too far in keeping things tidy when you start sacrificing your mental health.
On Is Red, Off Is Green
This speaks to the way my brain is wired. I have certain things that I just remember as "it's the opposite of what you think." Like if there's an intersection I use occasionally and I go the wrong way a couple times, I'll remember it not as "it's a left turn," but "it's the other way."
That's exactly the reason (or so I've been told by our electrician). Still annoying as heck.
Load More Replies...Not as annoying as this, but my baby gate (rabbit gate), shows red (?danger) when not shut properly and green (?safe) when locked closed. Surely, it should be red, no entry and green for open. Irritates me daily.
I have the same darn remote! I figured perhaps it's that way because it was made in another country and red and green have different meanings?? but drives me nuts as well.

However, as New York psychotherapist Natalie Capano told ‘House Beautiful,’ this neatness at home might only be superficial. “Organization can be an illusion that we have our life together, when in reality there are big issues just underneath the surface. Some people believe that their home represents their life, so if their pantry is perfect, their relationships must be, too,” the expert noted.
“Not everyone prefers an organized lifestyle, and that is just fine. Organized chaos works for some people, and this can feel as good to them as a neat and orderly space can feel to others.”

There is a church (I think) somewhere with two towers. One tower has a round, bulbous roof, the other tall and angular (again, I think). The story behind that was that the Lord/King/whatever who ordered it built had to go to war before it was finished and before his wife had given birth. so he ordered the building crew that, when his child was born, they should put round roofs on the towers for a girl, or an angular roof for a boy, so he could he see from afar on return what it was. Well, turns out that the wife was carrying twins, so they put on the different roofs.

I'll be charitable and say the workmen got to the site and discovered that they didn't have the right tiles for the job, so rather than leave a dirty / hazardous hole for people to trip in, they improvised with what they had, with the intent of fixing it right later. Hey, I can dream!

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.
Just tell Clark Kent he has play at one of the other fields.

ooohhh Lindt... whenever you pass by Aachen, donot, I repeat DONOT visit their factory store. Prices are low and there is such an abundance of chocolate, it drains your wallet. (seriously though, very well worth the visit for those of us with self-control)
We have a Lindt factory store one village over. I usually drive by without making eyecontact, otherwise: lost. And on the other side a Wernli cookie factory. Sooo... The best was in 2020 when it was raining chocolate. Cars had a slight covering of chocolate 🤣🤣🙈

I found myself getting angrier and angrier the further down I scrolled. My mind just cannot tolerate these sorts of travesties! Good collection though for the category.
Some men aren't looking for anything logical. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
On electric cars like the Prius you push forward to go in reverse and pull back to drive.
