There's a house in our neighborhood that I drive by every day to and from work. A couple weeks ago they started putting ones of those "Slow down for kids" signs at the end of their driveway. Like this one. It annoyed me. If you know me, you know I'm not much of a kid person. I like other people's kids--especially when they're cute and sweet--but in general kids aren't really my thing. This house happens to be on a short road where you can't build up much speed. It's also right by a park where there are always cars parked and people milling around. This isn't a high-speed possible part of the neighborhood, so that sign was annoying. Of course I'm going slow. Of course I'm watching for kids. They're everywhere, Captain Obvious.
A few days later, my entire attitude toward that sign changed. Why? Because they modified it by writing "Cat X-ing" on it in black marker. Slow down for kids? Duh. I don't need a sign. Slow down for cats? Sure! Why didn't they just say so from the beginning?
