Little things that bother you. OCD or poor design?

[Wild Bill]

How come all the manholes in many city streets are lined up right in the path of tire travel rather than centered in the lane where you would straddle them?
And why are they always a little lower than the road surface creating a bump?

Because then if they need to to any kind of emergency replacement, or just replacement in general, they can hopefully only tear up one side of the road. And there's more under the street than just storm sewer. Not infinite space down there.
Also, manholes sit lower because as they add asphalt lifts they don't always expose the entire ring and add more to lift it up. Or the contractor didn't get the correct elevation during construction, causing it to sit lower.

The 'robusto' table...

The 'robusto' table...

Daughter treated us to dinner at a new Billings restaurant, the Brazilian Carvers where for $50 you are treated to the most extensive salad bar ever imagined. Then as you sit at your table the carvers come around dressed as Gauchos and carve off prime rib, sirloin, rib steak, BBQ ribs, grilled shrimp, and about every cut of Brazilian beef you could think of.
The tables would all have to be 'robusto' size as the diners we watched coming to eat were the most ginormous people I have ever seen in one place. They were 'uuuuhje' !!!

I don't think that the younger generations were ever taught what punctuation is for.

Didn't take a pic but the sheer number of bright eye tree markers I found on public land today got on my nerves. Seems people never take them when they leave.
