    I feel like this sign’s design is very logical and depends on the viewers perspective. Far away, moving fast, like a car? Go left. Slow walking pedestrian, up close? Go right

      If we ant to get all analytical… this sign really does work but not for the obvious reasons. It’s interesting how it’s made up. If you’re ASD, you don’t even realize that a cue was given because you’re interested in the design.

      Then, you figuratively realize “oh shit, that’s a cue…” and have to sort it all out while being irritated that someone couldn’t just make the design mean what it’s supposed to mean.

    I’m in this picture and I don’t like it have made peace with the fact that this will always be me.

    I don’t know if anyone else can relate to this, but this is what the arrow on those self-applied airplane luggage tag stickers feels like to me. For a while I kept peeling off the wrong half because the arrow isn’t pointing in a direction that makes sense to me. Iirc, the arrow is pointing towards the part of the sticker you don’t peel off, while at the same time being on the part that you do peel off. To me, the arrow should be pointing towards the part you peel off; that seems more intuitive to me for some reason.

      I never thought of it this way, because in my mind the arrow points to the cut. Now I’m probably going to start messing it up because deep down I know you’re right.

    Ah yes, the refusing out of politeness but actually meaning yes and wait for you to ask again once or twice.

    That is the conflict between social pressure and individual needs.
    Society requires acting in a specific way, but individually, we’d rather not. Hence the fake pleasantries which feel a lot like that sign.
