When I was young, my sister told me that Stop Signs outlined in white were optional. I later realized that all Stop Signs were outlined in white and weren't optional!
A childhood belief about road signs
others believed things like this

- 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) - I used to think that "No standing signs" meant that you weren't allowed to actually stand in the area!Anon
