We’ve all likely experienced the temptation to cut corners at work – yet these road workers seem to have taken laziness to a ‘hole’ new extreme by painting over potholes rather than fixing them.
Images captured on Romania’s highways revealed that the holes were left unaddressed, with only white paint applied over them.
A frustrated local expressed that the roads had remained unrepaired for three years, noting that the crew responsible for the repairs were so negligent they even painted over a puddle.
The workers contended that insufficient funds in the budget hindered their ability to address the dangers.
Nevertheless, a spokesman for the local council rejected these assertions, stating that the workers were simply being lazy.
The poor condition of roads is a well-documented issue in Romania, with Bucharest being recognized as the capital city that possesses the worst highways in Europe.
Heavy snowfall affects the country, and the snowplows used generally result in roads becoming damaged.
