'I'm stuck with something that's going to bother the s*** out of me': Can you spot what she found?

Design flaws can often go unnoticed for years—until one day, something small catches the eye and becomes impossible to ignore.
For one homeowner, a routine cleaning session turned into a moment of unexpected frustration when she spotted a peculiar detail in her living room furniture.
What she discovered sparked a wave of debate online, with commenters torn between outrage, artistic interpretation, and a touch of humour.
A woman’s perfectly clean home came with one irritating discovery she hadn’t expected—right in the middle of her living room.
After giving her space a thorough once-over, she noticed something off about her coffee table that had previously gone undetected.
She took to social media to share a picture of her green-and-white tiled table, writing that she’d only just spotted the issue.
‘After two years of having this coffee table I just noticed a f****** tile is missing,’ she wrote to a thread dedicated to mildly annoying moments.
She explained the strange flaw was ‘right’ in the centre of the table.
‘I guess I usually have a coffee table book or something covering it but today when I was cleaning, it suddenly pierced my eyeballs that the center tile design is missing a triangle,’ she said.
‘This was NOT a cheap table either,’ she added.
‘Now I'm stuck with something that's going to bother the s*** out of me every time I see it.’
The small imperfection sparked a variety of reactions, with some saying they completely understood her frustration.
Others encouraged her to lean into the quirk, suggesting it could be a meaningful feature rather than a flaw.
‘Artists used to do this back in the day,’ one user said.
‘Something about not wanting it to be perfect because only god can make things perfect.’
One person shared an example: ‘I learned that touring the old Flagler Hotel in St Augustine. The tilework at the entry way had a tile turned 90 degrees.’
Another insisted it was probably intentional.
‘Definitely done on purpose,’ they said.
‘Otherwise there would be a triangle shaped hole in the adjacent green tile. Check out the many cultures that do this! Maybe you will grow to see it the way they do! Beautiful table, by the way.’
One user confessed they struggled to find the mistake until someone pointed it out.
‘And now that it has been pointed out, it's less of a “omg you can't unsee it!” and more of a “meh, not that big of a deal.”’
‘The pattern is pretty busy, so that lack of a triangle can hide very well,’ they added.
Another suggested the asymmetry added something special to the look.
‘That table screams cool,’ they wrote.
‘That being said, imagine the craftsman being utterly destroyed or just stunned and staring at the mistake or did he do it just to know nobody would notice forever or maybe he totally didn't notice. Nonetheless, you've got a great table with a story you may never know.’
The homeowner later updated social media users with her creative solution.
‘I have to admit, having my glorious King Ghidorah protect my sanity with a well placed foot was a genius move,’ she said.
She added that the cultural context gave her a bit of peace.
‘It's def gonna always bug me but I do love this table!’
In a previous story, another surprising detail caught the eye of a sharp observer—this time on a piece of art.
What seemed like an ordinary painting held a hidden signature that went unnoticed for years.
