Our cleaning girl is the culprit. Every time she cleans, I have to go around afterwards straightening out all the pictures and mirrors on the walls. I think she moves them deliberately to fool us into thinking she actually cleaned them.
It's a bitch to go all square,
The most interesting response here was: if they are all tilted left-- doctors office, lawyers office, home, next door, then why doesn't anybody do anything and straighten them out. My answer to that is, they don't care very much about it and I do. But this phenomena is real here. Coriolis plus natural vibration over time. All structures have frequencies, they just too high to hear.

That is some great physical comedy
If Coriolis were a factor, photos on opposite walls would tilt in opposite directions.
Cleaning girl!!!!!
I hang my pictures with a picture hook and wire. The top of the frame does touch the wall if the wire is connected to the inside edge of the frame. Plus, I don't follow why it would not look straight even if the top does not touch the wall, except maybe in profile.However, if you use that kind of hanging system with a string or wire, where the top of the frame hangs out slightly from the wall, the picture cannot look straight from every angle.

Surely it’s always in partial profile, except when you are standing right in front of it? That’s my experience, anyway. I really appreciate the frames I have that are fixed flush with the wall. Mind you, our lath-and-plaster walls are far from perfect, so fixing took a big measure of eye-balling, and some dud drill holes. And cursing, of course. And far more tools than one would have expected.
Museums do it all the time.Use the motel method of hanging pictures.
Screw them to the wall through the frame.
There's too little appreciation of visible fasteners. They should be celebrated more.
Two screws, nails, hangers. They all work with any frame, unless you have those cheesy sawtooth hangers on the back.One of the advantages to the sectional metal frames is that one can just put two screws in the wall a few inches apart, and then hang the backside of the top of the frame over the screw heads...never tilts.
It may be that the hanging point on the wire is slightly off and if one merely straightens an unruly frame it will eventually tilt again. If a frame needs straightening then the hanging point must be adjusted and not merely rotating the frame.
