'They paved over a cone on Washington Ave': 25+ Construction projects gone wrong

If you've ever had construction work being done in your building, you know exactly how maddening it can be. 1 – It'll never, ever, ever get done on schedule. Not once in the history of the world, probably, has a construction project reached completion at its scheduled time. 2 — Those folks will start drilling at 7 AM every day, even weekends if they can! 3 — It'll cause you to question your sanity as you listen to the drilling and hammering go on all day every day for weeks, maybe even months. And at the end of it all, if everything goes smoothly, you'll have a great new street or building to admire. Then, you'll forget that all that ever happened, and you'll just be glad that you got the construction project done in the first place. 

Check out a bunch of people who shared their own experiences with botched construction projects. Then, read about an inspirational female employee who called out her male boss in a team meeting when he tried to boss everyone around: "My coworker told our boss, 'You're not intimidating.'"
