There is a sign nazi in our area. Some government official has apparently made garage and for sale signs on easements his vendetta.
The church is located on a visible corner… we are easement sign central for those entering or leaving Romeo from the east/west direction. Several times per week a person will place a sign for an upcoming garage sale or their for sale by owner sign on the corner of the church property. And within hours its gone.
Now, our police department is fine… but they are a little like Barney Fife in The Andy Griffith Show. They deal with so little crime, they end up passing their days on traffic duty and picking up signs. I know for a fact that they wouldn’t dare get our of their car to pick up a sign on their own accord.
Someone has told them to do it. And someone is making a big deal about it because they are being entirely too consistent and too quick about it. To be honest… the little dance of "us peons" putting out signs to see "the man" put them in the back of his squad car is completely ridiculous. It’s silly over-policing… yet someone one higher than them has made it very important.
My parallel to this is my own life. What am I quick to pluck out that is seemingly unimportant to me but important enough to them that they would take the time to create and place a sign in my life?
Where am I being a dictator on something minor that is distracting to the bigger picture?
