When you start learning CSS

- But I just want it to be the full width of the screen AND have a border!!

- Man... Screw CSS... I already know how to make everything be how and where I want it with HTML alone and I still just don't want a way to make it simpler or better...

  How do you colour and position things accurately using only HTML?

Wow this is the most offensive picture I have seen all day!

"You see here jimmy, the boss didn't bother to check whether the path was where it was planned to be 2 years ago.

Now, are we going take the initiative and place the flowerbed where it should be rather than where we were told to put it ?"

"No we won't Larry... "if we were supposed to take decisions we would be paid accordingly..." as you always say Larry..."

- Designer probably got a dimension wrong on the drawing, and the pavers went "Alright, we'll do it exactly as you say. Teach you to proofread next time..."

  As a builder, I can't even begin to tell you how often I'll come across something like that and ask the question only to get some ego driven response that you can tell they didn't even review the situation.
  
  'as per the drawings boys' can be a gratifying direction to give when you have the appropriate responses to CYA.

If it were in the center, everyone would need to walk around it. This is more efficient for the foot traffic.

- There are people who would just walk through it if it were in the center.

  They'll probably still do it even if it's pushed to the side. Jerks gonna jerk.
  
  ...wait.

- @darcy, that made me literally lol (irl).
  
  Here you can clearly see the difference it makes when I use a controller instead of mouse and keyboard.

This triggers my OCD.

Makes me wanna yell tbh

I feel like there may be a reason to this. It looks like the flowers got recently moved. Maybe it was in the way of the main footpath that sees the most traffic? I can see it getting moved if people repeatedly tripped over it at night or when drunk.

- I feel that this may be in a snowy region and a snow plow accidentally moved it in the winter.

  That would be impressive.

  Pretty sure that's not a movable planter. It's literally a circle of bricks around a hole in the paving so you can plant flowers in the soil underneath. It's not something you can push around. They built it like this, on purpose.

- Also looks like there could be a drainage issue.
  
  There is 100% a reason for this. Because it takes days, if not weeks, to build out a feature like this. And even the most autopilot zero shits given county worker will realize something is "off". And, more importantly, realize that someone is likely to see it before they finish and insist they do it again.
  
  I don't buy the "in the way of the footpath" since that seems to be where a lot of paths converge.

- Gods I hope we're not to the point of coddling people that we're now structuring our architecture to protect the drunks.

  If you protect the drunks you also protect the visually impaired, those with lacking motor skills, the chronically absent-minded, and Smombies. I do hope we protect the drunks.

Lol I found the title really funny

Hmm I don't see anything using the browser's interface. There has been a few posts like this. Something in particular I could be missing?

What the actual ...

- It's off center so people won't walk over it.

  The lack of coordination with the paver pattern is what makes this look silly.

This looks like a photoshop job.

- Looks like, but knowing how the industry works, this is a planners fuck up.
