Thinking outside the box

This is clearly an example of someone building a house and making a decision outside the box. However, sometimes thinking outside the box does not provide the best solution. If you look at this picture closely you will see that the builder located the driveway in such a way that the owner could enter or exit the drive in either direction by driving on either side of the pole. Of course, the normal placement of the driveway, avoiding the pole, would be a better solution. In this case, conventional wisdom would provide the better answer.
