Subtitles

   I have an addiction. I'm not afraid to talk about it. I'm not brave or self-less; I just realize this fact in my life. I don't see any time in the future when I will be able to break this habit or even desire letting go of it. I just love subtitles. Some call them captions, but I call them my friend. I have a hard time watching anything without turning them on, whether it's TV or movies. I guess I have a need to understand every single word, and sometimes the dog will bark or an actor will say a word I don't know, so I need captions.
   But sometimes in life you encounter things that also need subtitles. Whatever image is portrayed simply does not do the job, and so it would be helpful if you could gain better insight into the true meaning of things. For instance, I found these images on our paper shredder:
   What exactly are the paper shredder people trying to get across? Without access to the owner's manuel I can only assume the following:
Triangles are important.
Do not kick people.
High-fives only, don't bring that low-five stuff around here.
Dress casual.
No girls allowed.
No drinking and shredding.

   Now I am not for sure that these statements are completely accurate, but without subtitles, I am left to wonder on my own.
