That one red locker really should be green.

Why does this school even need lockers of two different colors? Can't they just pick one color and stick with it? Then we wouldn't have problems like this.

Whoever paved this road had the foresight to create a little circle area for a sewer. Whoever installed the sewer ignored the paver's good work for no good reason. It's literally right next to the circle!

Every other flavor in this line of chocolate bars starts with the word "intense." Why can't raspberry get it together? What's so special about raspberries that the word "raspberry" needs to come before "intense"?

The design of this ceiling clearly has a midpoint, which you would think would make placing a fan in the middle of this room even easier. Still, this fan isn't in the center of the ceiling.

Usually, when you look at the side of the die that has one dot on it, that one dot is in the middle of the die. Something went very wrong at the dice factory on the day this die was made.

Why is the on button red and the off button green? That just goes against all logic. We have an agreement as a culture that green means go and red means stop.
