No, that's not normal. The wall should be straight.

Wait is that the tub wall and the picture is turned sideways?

This view is me looking toward the wall and down. The shower is to the right. The gray tile is the floor.

I can't tell what you're showing. No matter what, the wall should be straight. Maybe it's the framing?

The framing should have been shimmed about 1/4" due to the shower flange. Some rabett the sheet rock to go over this flange. It looks like neither was done in your case.

Your builder must think it is. You need to inform them that they are dealing with someone who knows better.

Maybe it's done this way to allow for easier removal of the shower in the future?

It should be fixed. Shouldn't be too big of deal. Trim needs to come off and drywaller needs to feather out from the corner at least 2 feet. Prime, paint and put trim back on. I would consider that an acceptable fix.

Thank you all for your input! I was able to take some better pictures today.

I just don't get how anyone could think this is acceptable let alone many different people that have worked on it from the painters to the trimmers. I guess it's not their problem so they just do what they are supposed to and move on. What happened to taking pride in your work?

I think the reality is that only a small percentage of the general population notices/cares about these things, and for whatever reason, there is a very high concentration of us here on these forums, especially the building a home forum.

So I spoke with the builder and he told me they are going to float it. Is that the solution I'm looking for here? I'm pretty sure it is but I just figured I'd ask. I'm not familiar with that terminology?

That will only work if the baseboard is removed and probably replaced; same with the quarter round. Not a big deal if you're working with a real builder.
