Can it even be called a "living" room if there's no toilet in there? "Not my job" moments surround us, thanks to our tendency to not want to do our jobs correctly. Sure, that means a lot of way-too-low ceiling fans and stop signs that say "go" but do you think you could do better? Well you probably could. Thanks to these moments of professional inadequacy we can all feel like we'd do a better job.

As intelligent people, it's our collective prerogative to do as little work as possible while looking like we're still maintaining some semblance of qualtity conmptrol. The "not my job" moments that surround us serve as a reminder that even if we do our jobs horribly, stupidly wrong, if your boss doesn't notice and a customer/client doesn't complain, then you're good to go.

Different jobs come with different challenges, be they physical, emotional, or have you leaving every day with pants full of dirt. It's extremely easy to look at another person's profession and idealize it in your mind, but more often than not, the parts you get to see are just the easiest or most glamorous. These insider zookeeper secrets are a good example of the kind of behind the scenes crap everyone has to put up with. And of course some jobs are so ridiculous that people just quit on the first day.

Medical professionals have to go to school for a long time, but it's not like learning how medications interact is going to change someone's personality. As many dumb patients and absurd misconceptions medical professionals witness, an awkward interaction won't always be the responsibility of a patient. It's a good idea to trust doctors, but if one tells you the cause of your rash is divine punishment, maybe consider seeing a different doctor.

Here be the land of upside down signs, ironic building decisions and incomplete projects. We've all had our own "not my job" moments that we felt could wait until Monday morning and then were completely forgotten by then. It's human to be lazy and make mistakes that could potentially damage property and people. You try not to, but hey man in these world of dubious professionalism, there are no guarantees.

It's rare to be in love with your job, so naturally, most of us are going to try and get by with the absolute bare minimum. Usually it works out, but sometimes the cracks begin to show and the "not my job" moments start to pile up. Oh, we'd all love to to make everything look perfect, lined up, spelled right and on point but frankly, that's not my job.

Okay, maybe that person wanted a toilet it in their kitchen, but probably not? It only takes seeing a few unprofessional "not my job" moments of failure to see that the world is absolutely brimming with examples of incompetent construction. It's a good reminder that no infrastructure is totally for sure, and that there could be anything going on with the pipes under your house.

Work is tedious and boring, and most of us in the working world have developed a genius strategy to get through the day known as "doing the bare minimum." Sure, it might result in moments of professional ineptitude like misspelled banners and improperly installed toilets, but at least it gets us to 5 pm. Man, there's a lot of unprofessional "not my job" moments of failure.

We all want to go home early, so sometimes we end up with "not my job" moments of questionable professionalism. Sure, we all have the potential to be good at our jobs, but there's a whole lot of improperly installed toilets and misspelled signs that suggest a few of us could try harder. Either way, it's nice to have some "not my job" moments to gawk at.

For some reason tons of people think that the worst thing that can happen if you don't follow a doctors orders is that they'll get caught and be scolded. But no, there's an actual reason a medical professional tells you to do something. Medical professionals see through lying patients all the time, and patients still try to deny the stupid things they've done.

As it turns out, it's hard to formulate a decent representation of a lab tech when all you have is a model and a few beakers of colored liquid. It's like everyone's job is a cartoon. For more funny an accurate criticism, here are people's questionable haircuts getting roasted as well as some hilariously precise rare insults.

We've all witnessed some majestically unprofessional "not my job" moments. Maybe someone at work was running out of time, money or patience and just went with what they had. Those moments can result in stairways to nowhere, cans of peaches that magically contain peas, and countless other mistakes resulting in people and things failing at their one job.

Everybody has to put on some kind of a front for their job, whether it's acting like you have a technical solution or pretending you don't gossip about the customers behind their back. Some industries are way shadier than they seem.
