25 "Not My Job" Moments of Professional Mediocrity

Listen, we can't be asked to do our jobs perfectly every single time. Or, we can be asked to, but it's not like we really have to do it. If you're a brain surgeon or a pilot, please do your job perfectly every time.

It's just gonna happen.

At the same time, these moments of oversight can pitch into the absurd and take on lives of their own. A wheelchair ramp with stairs at the end is so self-defeating that it's kind of sad.

Here are some more "not my job" moments of failure.
