    Just be glad all of the intersections meet at the same point. If it were all off, especially by irregular amounts, this would be far worse. And I’ve seen that. A lot

    Whoever installed this at least did a good job and tried to do the best they could.

        I get that this is mildlyinfuriating, but a single instance of maybe an inch of misalignment in an install like that is damn impressive.

            I take it you haven’t done T-bar ceiling install, or pretty much any real world installations. You start with a plan and then 6 other factors pop up.

            Stuff like this makes me twitch too, but usually I’m looking for the cause/train of thought/error that lead to it. Often I’ll work backwards far enough to realize shits like that because it is.

        They’re very very close. I assure you, it could be far worse.

        Also, that doesn’t seem like something that a person would casually notice unless they stared at it for a long time.

          Maybe not you…I can’t unsee shit like that. I can’t look at paintings in homes near airports… There’s a lot of people who easily see misalignments of a fraction of a degree without trying

          And it’s always worse from a distance, always worse in person
