Using word wrap to align things.

or that nokia game where you drop floors on buildings

It is just an optical illusion the windows are actually lined up but the different colored bricks make you think they aren't. Look really closely, get your face real close to the monitor and cover up the bricks around the windows. Once you get in real close you will see I made the whole thing up and those windows are no where close to lining up, get your eyes checked.

I used a straight edge. They aren't lined up.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 43 points 3 days ago

You aren't getting close enough.

Push your head through the screen.

Because a clueless user used the space bar instead of a table or tab stops.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Every word user is clueless.

Word itself is full of clues to use something else.

[–] tuxed@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Or had to use the 365 version, which somehow is a thousand times worse. Like seriously, what kind of fucking drugs were they on when writing that piece of crap? Google Drive, Libreoffice, regular Word are all fucking perfect compared to that hellspawn. /rant

[–] Echo5@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Or converted it from PDF to Word.

In order for this to be accurate, the building plans would need to encoded so only the building designers have any clue how the building works and how safe it is.

Also moving around random mundane objects in the building like a picture frame on an office wall not infrequently causes a cascading and horrendous displacement of all the other objects in the building.

To open the breaker box involves operating two sets of panels, first the building tries to get you to use the new updated breaker panel interface but it was designed by the portion of the company that was told to sell more "cloud rooms" which are tiny and full of cameras that monitor residents and serve ads to them over a preinstalled intercom, so the first panel hides all the normal rooms and you have to find a latch and a set of 30 screws that when removed allows you to access the old breaker panel with all the other rooms. Every single time you open the breaker you have to repeat this process.

There is a building supervisor that used to be at least somewhat helpful when residents had questions but they got replaced by a new person. The replacement confusingly advertises nearby chain stores to you when you call them up to ask about a plumbing issue and answers specific questions about the building they are in charge of oddly, as if they were questions about buildings in general all over the world.

I feel like I am missing some key things here, but this is at least a somewhat accurate starting point for a microsoft word building.

Power bi. Next time the building loads they'll be shifted weirdly vertical randomly.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Power bi

Uhh does this mean what I think it means

[–] prongs@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

Oh god what have you done. Forevermore I will think of this at work

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I don't think so, but I'm not sure what else it might mean.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Of course it would be a Windows problem.

[–] Crafter72@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

This happen because the user didn't use monospaced font /s

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

Be thankful they didn't use wingdings

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

there is actually a pattern of two windows being lined up, then an alternating shift, except at the top

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

I quite like it actually

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

junior grade architects

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Can you repeat?

[–] DarkShaggy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

If you tried to drag one of those windows over to line it up the building would literally explode.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Looks more like it was designed in photoshop to me.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

They are straight, but they're in four columns, overlapping, even though it looks like two.
