To be annoyed by exessive "do not" signs and notices everywhere

I went to a private members club this evening and noticed an excess of signs. Within eye-view, there must have been 10 signs:

"security cameras in operation" - about 5 of these
"in accordance with health and safety, children are not permitted 1m from the bar"
"No billiards game to be played 15 minutes before closing"
"Don't stand here - bar serving area"
"No smoking"
"It is against the law to knowingly buy drinks for under-age guests"
"Don't drink and drive"
"Abuse of bar staff will not be tolerated"

I swear if aliens landed on earth, they would thing we were a bunch of imbeciles who had to be told what to do all the time.

I find these signs really offensive. We're paying customers and we're constantly being shouted at by ugly signs. Does it drive you crazy too!??

Peel your eyes next time you're in public. You might hoik your bosom too! :)

My pet peeve is laminated instructions in b&b rooms. Little signs about where to put the dirty towels, not to leave the light/heating on, how to call reception if you need anything (yes, someone to come and take away the annoying little signs), how to order sachets of shampoo etc. I think they really ruin the atmosphere of the room - everything should just be put in the guest file (and then you only need ONE sign to say: 'This is the guest file - ALL our annoying little instructions and warnings and helpful promptings can be found here').
