There is something involuntarily satisfying about cutting a perfectly proportioned line of cake or filling out a coloring book and staying exactly inside the lines. Our world is filled with natural symmetry right down to the human design itself, so when our brains register symmetry it is pleasing to the eyes.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, when something is asymmetrical or ‘off’ it triggers a primal warning that something is not quite right. Sure some of us are more obsessive than others, but even the most relaxed of us can get fixated on a big enough mistake. Bored Panda has collected a list of images that are skewed just wrong enough to make the perfectionist inside you cringe. From a rebel flower turned away from the crowd to misspelled keyboard keys. Scroll down below for the full list and don't forget to upvote your favs!

The Monopoly Deed Cards Are Cut Wrong. I Can Barely Focus On Bankrupting My Kids
Vlad Horobet 6 years ago
I've bought a cheap monopoly some years ago, about 5$ (the price for a good, original one here is about 30$+ ), there are so many wrong cards it makes the game almost impossible. One fun card says "Virginica (little virgin translated into my language) while the board says Virginia. All the prices are messed up also, they do not go up up the colors, some cards in the middle of the path are worth less then some from the beginning xD

Idk. None of this really bothers me? i think being bothered by these things is just a trend...When I was little, I never heard people say they were bothered by these kind of things and now suddenly this is "torture" and "painful" and "triggering" and just about the most annoying thing in the world? Idk. i think it's a learnt behaviour that has been exaggerated over the past years because of the internet.

I find noises more bothersome than imperfections like those. A nearby desk with a squeaky office chair is a nightmare from the deepest darkest corner of the underworld. The way that guy's wife opens things would just result in me fixing them because someone can open them however they want but then they can't give me c**p for fixing them.

Please don't use the term OCD in this way, because it isn't true. If you or someone you know has OCD you would know it is a terrible, debilitating illness, not a preference for neatness.
