Just be glad all of the intersections meet at the same point. If it were all off, especially by irregular amounts, this would be far worse. And I’ve seen that. A lot
Whoever installed this at least did a good job and tried to do the best they could.
I take it you haven't done T-bar ceiling install, or pretty much any real world installations. You start with a plan and then 6 other factors pop up.
Stuff like this makes me twitch too, but usually I'm looking for the cause/train of thought/error that lead to it. Often I'll work backwards far enough to realize shits like that because it is.
No but I've done construction plumbing, and have had cleaner looking work that gets hidden behind walls. I'm sure the plans didn't call for the angle to be messed up so they didn't align and have mismatched sections.
Maybe not you...I can't unsee shit like that. I can't look at paintings in homes near airports... There's a lot of people who easily see misalignments of a fraction of a degree without trying
And it's always worse from a distance, always worse in person
I swear I have never seen a diagonal of these ceilings that has been properly aligned. Thank God most rooms are square or rectangular so we don't have to worry about such things.

Ruined the installers week, you got off easy.
Dude still has nightmares about that shit.
Aw man, that's a cool ceiling.

Thats the issue, THEY DONT!!!!!
I get that this is mildlyinfuriating, but a single instance of maybe an inch of misalignment in an install like that is damn impressive.
It's really not, getting it correct wouldn't have been hard.

I guess we won't ever know that, since your work is 90% hidden. Count your blessings my friend.
They’re very very close. I assure you, it could be far worse.
Also, that doesn’t seem like something that a person would casually notice unless they stared at it for a long time.

When see a building situation that makes absolutely no sense, blame the HVAC folks.
Listen asshole, if you would keep your fuckin wires out of our chase we wouldn't have to keep cutting your wires.
/s
its there even a single standard tile in that thing?
Well, several of them are rectangular so there's at least some consistency.
This is offensive as fuck
Should make your day
You can blame the sprinkler head at the bottom of the picture for the lower angled part being at a different angle
There...is...no...god.
