This guy had one job: to mark a bike lane. I'm sorry, but I don't think that's a bike lane that's safe for anybody.

Maybe this guy just really hates cyclists.

This person installed a sprinkler system that directly faces and sprays water at an electrical box.

Someone really didn't think this through. It's like they're just asking for an electrocution lawsuit.

The writing on the ground says to stand behind the yellow line, but I don't see a yellow line anywhere. Do you?

This envelope has very clear instructions written right on it. It says "do not bend." So what did this mail carrier do? He bent it.

Whoever made this wheelchair ramp should never, ever make another wheelchair ramp ever again.

Honestly, attempting the stairs in a wheelchair would be safer than going down this death trap.

Did these workers show up to the job site completely drunk? Or do they just paint lines like this all the time?

This couldn't be further away from a straight line unless it were a circle.

This photo is so frustrating to look at. Why can't the light just go in the middle of the medallion?

Someone messed up big time when they were installing light fixtures in this room.

Either someone at the bean factory or someone at the tomato factory has a lot of explaining to do.

I'm not sure how this happened, but I would hate to open a can expecting beans only to find tomatoes inside.
