There's no doubt that our brains like order - symmetry, self-repeating patterns, perfect alignments, and intuitive placement. Seeing such satisfying pictures pleases our mind and makes it easy to understand our surroundings. On the other hand, imperfections of flawed things cause us to pause and do a double-take, annoying the hell out of the perfectionist inside us. Now, if you are an OCD-prone person, scroll down carefully unless you wish to have a masochistic session looking at these pictures.

These photos of broken patterns, imperfect symmetry, counter-intuitive placement, and construction fails are guaranteed to drive you bonkers. Undoubtedly, it is highly likely to start seeing everything crooked after looking at these not-so-funny pictures, so consider yourself warned again.

Do you have any OCD pictures that disturb the heck out of you? Share them below so that we can annoy people together!

When you have a large cake or pie you cut a hole in the middle then you cut the slices and they are the perfect size. You obviously have to account for the side of the cake/pie.

I think the culprit has a control freak in them because they know others won't usually challenge this behaviour and it is totally unnecessary . Actually, rather infantile and very needy

This can be easily remedied, depending upon the flavour, of course!

The pieces are way too big so I don't think people are even giving a thought to the lines and whats the point of the random circle in the middle anyway?

The flipped seat looks like it's easier to get into and gives better space for people who are picky about how far they sit from a table.

That is actually normal. Usually tiles artists flip one of the tiles. The one which they signed their names ;)

This is why I carry a multi-tool for bicycles. Tighten the screws at the back, under the hinge. Yes and I have a bicycle :-).
