On the way home, this evening, a guy driving an orange-y brown Volkswagon station wagon thing pulled up beside me at a set of traffic lights. I only noticed because his car caught the corner of my eye as it pulled up. Shortly after, there was something else that caught my eye, in the same area as had slightly earlier. The guy was holding up a sign, which completely filled his passenger-side window.

The sign looked to be white, corrugated cardboard with that plastic-y coating, or something similar anyway. Written in bold, thick texta was:

You’ve a stoplight not working

Well, I know my stoplight isn’t actually working, but did this guy waste a large piece of cardboard for me? Does he carry a whole vocabulary around in his passenger seat? Is he a mute and keeps his favourite sayings with him?

Weird stuff.
