Maybe you’re one of those people who can’t walk by a crooked picture frame without straightening it. Or maybe you get really upset when you order a pizza and the slices are all different sizes. Or maybe you find it soothing to look at photos of perfectly matching breakfasts.

If so, you’re not weird! You just crave symmetry, like most people do. Seeking the symmetrical may even be an innate human trait. As physicist and MIT professor Alan Lightman writes in his book, The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew:

“Symmetry represents order, and we crave order in this strange universe we find ourselves in. The search for symmetry, and the emotional pleasure we derive when we find it, must help us make sense of the world around us, just as we find satisfaction in the repetition of the seasons and the reliability of friendships. Symmetry is also economy. Symmetry is simplicity. Symmetry is elegance.”

Sounds good to me!

So when something is asymmetrical, even if it otherwise works perfectly, it can be infuriating–and it’s even worse if you can’t do anything about it. Here are 15 asymmetrical objects (via Bored Panda), that will bring out your inner control freak.
