I think of myself as a postmodern ironic pedant.
If the sign says "wait here", I do. If asked if I can be helped, I reply, "No thanks, I'm quite good at waiting"
If the sign says, "Don't walk on the grass", I run/skip/hop/cartwheel instead.
At a Strbucks in Edinburgh there was a sign in the toilet saying, "Put only toilet paper down the toilet." So I pee'd in the sink and shoved a load of paper down the toilet.
I like to "Ring for attention", although I rarely get much attention for the little dance I then perform.
I see no reason why pedestrians should not obey "stop" signs - even if it means others have to walk around me.
As you can see, I like to be obedient in these ways.
Do you have any suggestions for new ways I can do as I'm told?

When reading signs try not to take them too literally.
In my car there is a sing on the window that says "death or serious injury may occur", and another that says "children under twelve may be killed" - I don't think that these signs are really giving permission, but they sure sound like they are.
And if you must do as your told then get down on the floor immediately and start sucking my...

Good list.
It is really hard to add anything of value as your list is quite extensive.
I can say you will get farther if you do not take literally your car's owner's instructions to "depress brake before shifting into reverse." Once in reverse, or forward, you will actually move if you take foot off brake pedal when you put your accelerator foot down.

I think that you are doing very well without our help. There are enough rules and rulemakers without inviting more controllers to make a hash of our country and lives.

Funny mon. Okay. Here's my answer(s):
1) Stop asking stoopid questions. Then
2) Ask questions and answer them yourself then do as
you tell yourself
