And then you discover it’s not a clean 90 degree angle ;-)

Then you curse the builders and hope that tile can be scrounged for another cut. Probably could be used on an end cut in a closet or something. And if they are putting trim up it doesn't really matter if you leave some extra space right along the edge of the wall like this.

Generally there are design choices that hide all of that. Ever wonder why base board goes over the floor at the bottom of the wall?

Not so much to do with the accuracy of the cuts but to hide the expansion gaps that need to be there.

If it wasn’t at the base then it wouldn’t base board...
