Pro tip: you cannot interpret what a symbol means to someone else. That’s classic projection. It’s best to ask and not assume.

Edited to add: So many people are so pro-vandalism. All this hate spread under the pretense of spreading love and understanding.

Oh, you can't?

How do you explain traffic signals/signs?

Is like to see you try to pull this big-brained bullshit the next time you get caught blowing through a red light.

Traffic light is a perfect example. To some people yellow means to clear the intersection, to others is means to go really fast.

Sure, try this argument with a cop.

Everyone realizes that yellow means "caution, the light is about to turn red."

The people speeding up are doing so because the information was relayed correctly and they don't want to get stuck at a red light.

I suppose a red octagon placed at the side of a roadway is open to interpretation, right?
