There’s a specific level of annoyance reserved for things that are mildly infuriating. Not broken, not catastrophic, just slightly wrong in a way that bothers you forever.
These mildly infuriating pictures are exactly that. Patterns that don’t match, things placed at wrong angles, small details that ruin everything. You can’t unsee them. You can’t stop thinking about them. They’re mildly infuriating, and that’s somehow worse than actually infuriating.
