People have been left seething after discovering a ‘headache’ inducing tiling mistake – but can YOU spot the fatal blunder?
Bianca Siham, from London, was in the waiting area at her dentist’s surgery when she noticed an infuriating error in the geometric flooring.
She took to Facebook to share a photograph of the mismatched flooring, attracting hundreds of comments from eagle-eyed social media users who were left equally incensed by the error.
Posting on the Upcycleit, Handmade & Crafters on the Tedooo Facebook page, Bianca wrote: ‘I was waiting for a dentist appointment and I noticed the floor…’
On first glance, the black and white floor appeared to have a linear square pattern with dark swirls joined at each corner.
But upon closer inspection, perceptive onlookers noticed that one tile had been placed in the wrong direction, leaving many frustrated by the mismatched pattern.
Since it was posted last week, the post has gathered more than 600 likes and 200 comments, many claiming to have spotted the blunder in as little as ‘two seconds’.
Several were quick off the mark, another claiming to have ‘found it straight away’, while a third said it ‘popped right out to me’.

Other seething commenters said it would drive them ‘nuts’ and that the tiler ‘needs to go straight to jail’.
One commenter wrote: ‘I would never not see it when I walked in there.’ ‘I’d pry off those tilers there and then to correct them!’ a second wrote. A third remarked: ‘Oh my god, that’s awful, I would have to sort it.’
A fourth was even so upset that they said it would push them ‘right over the OCD edge of reason.’
‘That would drive me bonkers. The tiler would have to fix it,’ another person exclaimed.
‘Oh no. And you’re supposed to be able to sit back and relax in the chair while he does your teeth, knowing what’s just outside the door?’ another hawk-eyed spectator said.
A slightly more optimistic person joked: ‘I suppose on the plus side you won’t be thinking about what’s going on inside your mouth.’

‘Dang, I hope this bothers the person who did it as much as it bothers everyone else if I were that floor guy, I think it might keep me up at night!’
It comes after Lidl shoppers expressed their delight after spotting an animal ‘hiding’ in the budget supermarket’s distinctive logo.
UK-based money blogger Ricky Willis, who goes by @skintdad on TikTok, posted a clip in which he displayed the sign and said: ‘When you see it you can’t unsee it. The Lidl sign is a dog playing the piano. It’s like no way.’
The brightly coloured sign is made up of a yellow circle outlined in red set within a blue square. Written in bold letters inside the circle is the German-born retailer’s name.
While the first ‘L’, the ‘D’ and the second ‘L’ of Lidl are in blue typeface and standing upright, the ‘I’, marked in red, slants towards the left, resting on the tail of the first ‘L’. The dot of the ‘I’ sits above the slanting block letter.
The logo reads ‘Lidl’, but in a clip with over 2.1 million views, the social media user shared an alternative, much more creative interpretation, and now fellow TikTok users are claiming they can’t ‘unsee it’.
Many TikTokers were tickled by Ricky’s novel explanation of the logo, with one person writing: ‘When you see it, you can’t unsee it. The red letter is a slanted “I” touching a straight letter “L”. There is no way!’
Another person commented: ‘Omg, yeah, I’m never going to be able to unsee it now’. While a third jokingly quipped: ‘It’s just a Lidl dog’.

A fourth user said: ‘It took me a while to spot it. It’s the “I” beside the “L”. I never noticed that before.’
Yet a fifth person wasn’t completely convinced, admitting: ‘I can see it but [can] also unsee it. It’s not that obvious’.
It appeared that a sixth was left completely in the dark. They said: ‘You have to guide me through that because I can’t see it’.
And, someone else had a unique interpretation of their own. They wrote: ‘It’s a chair, balancing a ball’.
