    Another one is levelling.

    A lot of people can see a picture frame is about 0.5° out of level and their fucking eye twitches until they fix it

    Me included

    That’s nuts when you think about it

      When my wife was pissed at me she would go to my office before I got to work and tilt every picture/award and move my books about.

      She knows what buttons to push and my sous chefs just let her do it… ungrateful pricks

      /S

      See, I live in an old apartment. The corners aren’t 90°, the wall a picture is hanging on is convex. When I’m lying in bed and look at the picture it looks like it’s crooked but I used a level several times on it and it’s as straight as can be. It’s driving me insane.

        But “level isn’t what you need. If the floor and ceiling aren’t level, it’ll look wrong.

      I purposefully slightly tilt most my wall hangings. I like watching guests squirm when they mention it and I do nothing
