According to very authoritative studies, four out of five engineers got into the field just so that they could say "Trust me, I'm an engineer." Ok, those statistics are made up, but it's definitely a perk of the occupation.
Sometimes, despite all of the education and planning and analysis, things don't quite go to plan. It could be argued that this is a product of poor execution (I'm looking at you, contractors), but where's the fun in that?
#1 This is closely related to "I have no idea what I'm doing."
#2 The goal is to make it functional, not pretty. Amirite?
#4 Stairway to heaven? WHERE DO THESE LEAD?
#5 If my calculations are correct, you're getting bombed tonight.
#6 I've seen this in action more times than I'd care to admit.
#7 An engineer solved the energy crisis!
#8 About those fail-safes...
#10 It's technically not wrong.
#11 When the blender breaks and you live with an engineer.
#12 I don't think that's how it was meant to open the door.
#13 How engineers use Tinder.
#14 And when efficiency goes too far.
#15 Technically it does the job it was designed to do.
