    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.

    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?

    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.

    I’ll only accept American roads that have zero orientation issues.

    Perfection

      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.

    Someone went through all the trouble of carefully making everything match, only for others to not care enough to put in 0.1% of that effort and keep it in order when they work on it.

    Seems like a great analogy for my work experience these days.

    I like it somehow.

    The more I’m looking at it, the more I actually love it! It breaks this boring monotony.
