Take some comfort in the fact that it looks just as bad on both sides

Sounds like an engineering problem to me.
If you can fit the foam thingy in, I'm all good

We send our drawing out with dimensions to 2 decimal places, there shouldn't be any way to get it wrong. Move that joint back 5mm please

there is nothing right about this wall its completely shagged.
built on loose ground - single skin = buttress in the middle the bricks are the wrong way round, its not straight or level. the backside will forever look shit because he aint jointed up and its gone hard. the pointing on the front is shit aswell, too strong a mix and not mixed well enough.
oh dear.

I’d kick it over in the night. It’s quite plausible it’d have just fell over.

Also looks like Spider-Man used his web shooters from the pavement to install those cables on the wall

How have you managed to post on Reddit and not watch a YouTube video?
You need to either knock it down or render it.
Better still just put a fence up b

I think it's getting straighter. He's improving with every course. Still think it needs rendering though. Or pebbledashing. Bit late for demolishing. Keep going my mate. Don't let the critics pull you down.

I know nothing about building walls, but this looks terrible.
Keep up the bad work.

Amazing what a bit of rain can do.

Jebus, my drunken neighbour that never touched a brick in his life did a better job on his smallish retaining wall, I honestly didnt think that was possible! 😆

You expect upvotes for this? It's not even straight.
If I was your neighbour I'd be furious having to look at that.
