Signs are not always straightforward and clinical...
Often they will spell out every single aspect of something...
Even when it seems obvious...
Or even patronizing...
Sometimes they really treat you like an idiot...
As if you have no sense of decency...
And very little life experience...
That you are basically a child, afraid of the dark...
That you can't think for yourself...
They will try anything to guilt you...
But, often signs will argue among themselves...
Like many of us, they say things just for the sake of it...
They have strong opinions about small things...
Sometimes it seems like they are joking...
But they make every little thing seem serious...
Some signs spread conspiracies...
Some are quite useful - after the event...
Often when they are speechless they revert to 'sign-cliches'...
It's obvious they just want to tell you a story...
They attempt to make themselves seem needed...
Frequently signs will fight for the same turf...
They really are just like us...
