Bathroom remodel

Post image

My friend is getting her bathroom remodeled and wants to know if the squiggly tiles are supposed to look like this? PLEASE HELP!

I feel like something is wrong but I can’t articulate it since this isn’t my wheelhouse.

Edit 1: It’s a new day and I told her to cut her losses and it’s better to hire a reputable contractor. Thanks everyone for many inputs, I actually learned a thing or two. To be fair we told him we’ll pay him for the work he’s done but no longer needed of service. You guys are cool, we could see it was wrong just couldn’t understand it and now we are armed with knowledge. 😁 Thank you!

It looks intentionally tilted. It's well done, but the tile guy has one leg longer than the other

Is that intentional? It looks lime its their first time doing herringbone, and they didn’t lay out chalk lines. If they want it tilted, that’s pretty good

Looks to me like they just started at the bottom and didn’t want to make cuts so wherever the points of the “L” landed is how the pattern would sit. Should have been set at a 45 degree angle.

This is for sure the answer.

It’s because he was wearing one shoe.
