There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

5346 - OCD nightmare time
This could also be called, "Screw it, it's time to go home".
Now for this last one, all I can say is sometimes you don't have a choice. I have a spot like this in my house.
The four-way walking path with the tree at the junction - lol You have to wonder how some of these even happened. Seems like it would take actual intent to create some of them :)
We had a similar issue with high ceilings at our old house, and when I painted there were always a couple of places at the edge where the paint wasn't even. I learned to look past it :-)
Kathy - Or just don't look up. When I was working on my "off" corner, I tried to figure out every way possible to "fix" it. I finally just said screw it. I never notice it.
Big oops. And they would drive me batshit crazy. I don't think I could live with any of them.
ReplyDeleteSue - I think it would be fun to put these everywhere I could think of.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so funny!
ReplyDeleteDeb - I thought so too.
ReplyDeleteI'd just move
ReplyDeleteAh - what a bunch of hack jobs.
ReplyDeletePeg - No you wouldn't. You'd get too many good posts out of fixing all this stuff.
ReplyDeleteLady - So you're not of the "close enough" mindset?
Arrrrrgggghhhh! (Not that I'm OCD or anything...)
ReplyDeleteAllen - I keep looking at these trying to pick a favorite and I just can't decide.
ReplyDeleteThese make me so uncomfortable! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI find these sorts of things fascinating as well!
ReplyDeleteShaw - But what's your favorite?
ReplyDeleteCloudia - Next time your out, turn a striped manhole cover 90 degrees.
It's really hard to paint walls that come together at weird angles, but if I had your house I would find a way.

Kathy - When it's above your head, precision is not a requirement.
ReplyDeleteJenny - And there's a missing bush.
That's why I put "This could also be called, "Screw it, it's time to go home" at the beginning. I've seen things like this done before.
What allenwoodhaven said. Twice.
ReplyDeleteBill - Don't let me in your house. You'll be looking for out-of-place things for a month.

ReplyDelete#1 comes from Terry Gilliam's short-lived career as a tile setter.
ReplyDeleteIf Terry Gilliam was your tile setter
ReplyDeleteBruce; Wesley - I had to look up Terry Gilliam. AH HA!
