Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Seeing this picture feels like getting a thorn out of your foot

This is a perfect example of "Not My Job" at work.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They're all shifted down by one

From the top, #2 and #4 are in the correct positions.

Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.

I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, "Yes, that's part of your job."

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

You make the assumption that the company pays them well or treats them like human beings, rather than gaslighting them into accepting minimal pay, thus supporting the fiefdom of the C-Suite.

No Pay, No Work. Minimal Pay, Substandard Work. Victims fight back against their abusers in passive ways at first. Consider this picture as such.

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.

According to the very last quote in the article mentioned here:

"As someone who works in them... we do it 100% on purpose!" one man said.

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.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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?

Looks like your textures didn't load properly. You gotta shut down the road and restart it.

I realized the lids are not wrong just not placed in the right spot.

[–] Part4@infosec.pub 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah it is that comedian work colleague putting them back in the wrong place for a laugh.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol

Somebody spent time properly paving these covers so that they don't interrupt the pattern, then later someone didn't spent one second trying to put them back the way they were

It's somehow worse imo, why is there 1 random correct one?!

[–] TheDirtyBubble@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think 2 are actually in the correct spot. It's just looks wrong because the two next to it are swapped.
