I convinced my sister that stop signs with white lines around them were optional....you could stop-if you want. She believed until she happened to notice that ALL stop signs had white lines around them
A childhood belief about road signs
others believed things like this
- Having seen enough red octagonal STOP signs in my time, I used to look out for green circular GO signs.— Gary
- I used to believe that the sky had stop lights and road signs floating about for the airplanes.
— LoonaSM's - I used to think that Mice controlled the Stop lights and crosswalk signs.Anon
- I used to believe that if I didn't jump the white lines of the zebra crossing I would dieAnon
- I thought if 3 cards stopped at a 3-way stop sign then they had to stop forever until Christmas.Anon
- When I was young, I used to belive that
if you pushed the stop button in the bus it would stop for good.— Tom (Norway)
