These Kids Would Be Mad if They Could Read
Our eyesight isn’t what it used to be, but if we can read this sign correctly, it reads DO NOT CLIMB, PLAY ON, AND AROUND THE PIPE. There’s nothing ambiguous about this sign. It clearly states that you’re not supposed to be around the pipe for your own safety.
But what does a sign matter if people aren’t going to read it in the first place, or if they don’t know how to read? That’s the likeliest scenario here. Otherwise, we wouldn’t see full-grown adults playing on or around the pipe in the first place. Maybe if someone gets eaten by a shark (goodness forbid), these beachgoers will pay a little more attention.
