This happens when the drain pipes float up in the cement when it is poured. The pipes and drain have to be anchored down, weighted down, or kept from floating up in some way.WWGD said:
This is an issue I had to deal with when getting floor drains in the fish rooms we had made.
My floors drain well.

An acquaintance swears the following really happened to him.WWGD said:
He drove up to a red-light and mis-judged the stop. This resulted in him very lightly bumping into the car in front of him. The driver got out of the car, at which point my acquaintance noticed the other driver was a dwarf. The dwarf stomps back, reaches up, and taps on the driver window.
"I am NOT happy!"
"Oh. Which one are you?"
