Ever hear a roofer say he would "nail the shingles in the
black"? Here's the end result of those high nailed shingles.

When flashing something, the side flashing MUST pass the
corner of whatever you are flashing. Otherwise, you're in for extensive damage
and high repair costs.
Here are some jackleg shingle examples.
I love this one. Donated by
AMARCO of Kouts, IN. There was probably a
slight hump in the roof because of an improperly aligned addition. If the roofer
had just added some underlay or shims, there would have been no hump. Instead,
he ran a 'water-bucking' hip cap across the center of the roof. Now, a whole
section of roof will need to be replaced.
He didn't even get it straight either!
