I know it was touched on in another thread, but what about photos that are just plain wrong.
Paving, manhole covers,edging, anything that gets your OCD senses tingling.

Heres a starter for 10.....

Oooh! I've a hard drive full of this sort of stoopidity! At least a quarter of them are effed-up recess trays.

Here's a really obvious one that's not a tray cover....

...OK, so laying a D65 upside can happen to anyone, but how much of a sodding clue do you need to tell you that you've got the damned thing the wrong way up??

And no: it's not right outside the Charcon office!

Interesting use of gappage and random straight lines (or curves as they're more commonly known)

utilities are normally the main culprits for this sort of work
we had the gas board (morrisons) out the other day
2 blokes dig the trench and leave
2 bloke turn up and connect the gas then leave
grab man turns up and takes the spoil
2 men turn up and chuck type 1 in the trench and leave
2 men turn up and tarmac the rest
a 2 man job has become a 9 man job and cost £1200

One from the world of sett paving.

I'm guessing this wasn't laid by a streetmason, paving contractor, or anyone with any actual skill or sense of style.....or functioning eyes, perhaps
