Let’s say your job is to check whatever is under those lids. How do you best mark it as having been done so you don’t re-open the same panel multiple times?

Chalk
- rain washes it off after a few weeks
- only have to open one at a time instead of 2+

Your loop condition fails the next street where there’s a round hole without a distinguishable pattern

You’d have to be pretty dumb to not be able to keep track of 6 lids in a line.

If this is your job, you aren’t tracking 6 lids, you’re tracking all the lids, probably in an entire section of the city. Possibly hundreds. Being able to look at a glance and see if you’ve already done it is clutch.
Next time it’s time for a check, you put them back on the right way.

If your job is to check hundreds, you’d keep track of the roads you’ve checked. There’s no need to keep track of each individual spot.

I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, “Yes, that’s part of your job.”

I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to both worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.
They’re all shifted down by one

From the top, #2 and #4 are in the correct positions.

Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.
