I had to stop - laughing was hurting!
Reminds me of a mate putting up cabinets in the bathroom - he put them up close to the ceiling (about 7'6"_ and the handles half way up the doors - he and his wife are 3FAs (about 5' nothing)!

No links or text, just a blank page for me.

It's a sequence of pictures of job c*ck ups.
A bit like "There I Fixed It" - except that this one, the job appears to have been professionally done (without duct tape) but doesn't work.
Sadly, they did not add captions.

Oh I see Pity they did not actually put an alt tag of a meaningful kind there. Brian

Seems to work here on Chrome, but not IE.
Quite funny, some of them.

Sadly Brian, it's all images of stuff done wrong.
No text or links at all.

Ok
For your entertainment, I'll describe a couple:
I can't help wondering how many of these are photoshopped, but some might be real...
1) Short section of stone stairs going up. Handrail at the same angle, nicely fitted, but going the wrong way. ie going down at 45 degrees, as the stairs go up at 45 degrees!! 2) Kitchen worktop, internal 90 degree angle. One drawer comes out, but fouls on the handle of the drawer roud the corner. Fault: no offset or padding in the units. 3) Several photos of road white line painting where either the machine went wrong or the operator was pissed. 4) Loo seat fitted so seat and lid are reversed. 5) Random street signs upside down,You get the idea...

Except that it's wasn't fitted that way, just that the two end fixings have broken, leaving the centre one intact, so the the rail has tipped from +45 degrees to -45 degrees.

Tim Watts :
My favourite... American TV caption says: "AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report covers the current average for gas prices in the country and is available on their website, www.findoutwhatthewebsite'surlisandputithere.com.
The most pointless is the shop with the reverse-upside-down sign above its window. That's often done deliberately when the business isn't operating.

I get the same with IE but a series of pictures if I use chrome.
The pictures are of things like misspelled road signs, doors on upside down, incorrectly labeled products, etc.
Not very exciting really.

You can clearly see the screw holes and the marks on the tiles where the fittings were. No photoshopping, and the fault is due to the wall fixings failing after quite some time, including at least one repaint.
Except that some of them are obviously the temporary stick on tape type, which move under the influence of heavy vehicles braking and accelerating especially in hot weather.

I think this is in a showroom. I noticed, when doing the rounds, that they very seldom seemed to have put in the corner pieces. I couldn't decide if it was penny-pinching or what.

Actually, I'm embarrassed to report that we have a similar scenario in our kitchen (which was not fitted by me I hasten to add!). We use the partly 'blocked' drawer for tea-towels etc so not too awkward to use as-is - not worth the aggro of trying to sort it out, anyway

Not if you can't see them of course, being blind. I find it very frustrating when folk just post the link and little else of a clue.

I hate it when people post a link to a video without any information at all. Mostly I ignore the link because I can't be arsed to go through whatever the hoops are to view some indeterminate content.
As an admin on another place, I *have* to watch in order to be sure it is acceptable.

I don't know, I got really fed up with "fruit and veg in the wrong box" pictures. That and the stupid site navigation buttons which vanished after a short period of activity, requiring an extra click to bring them back before you could move on to the next image.
cheers
