This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating

Knowing that I never saw a manhole cover with a stripe facing the right direction, I'm pretty sure, they do it intentionally.

My expectation is maintenance workers, who have to get in there for some reason, do it to mark the ones they have already done.

If you look at the top one, the hook to remove it is oriented the same way.

That's close to what I've read on reddit years ago - that they do it on purpose do that it's easier to find the cover the next time it needs service.
