Currently having a new bathroom installed, and the builder has used subway tiles. I noticed that a few were not even after he put them up, and I though maybe would look better when he grouted. However they still look uneven to me. I would like advice as to weather i am being too fussy. Any advice welcome, thank you. Here are a couple of pics.

Crikey there's a few bad tiling threads showing up, this one is bad! That's a terrible bit of tiling. Welcome to the forum by the way.

Thank you for the rely, much appreciated. Might be an obvious question but what makes this bad, or is it just everything about it? The other tiles seem straight but this looks poor to me.

To be honest it's not the best, setting out is wrong and and some of the tiles looks like they have dropped here and there that's why grout lines don't look even in some places, it's all about setting out how it's gonna look when finished, in the corners it should wrapped round like it still a full tile

He has just told me that the reason some of the tiles are not straight is because the wall is bent ........
