Does This Bother You?

Like it does me?

On the freeways here in Houston, there are little electronic message boards that government officials can use to tell you about important things like Amber Alerts or the accidents clogging traffic further along your journey. When nothing like that is going on, they just put up little messages encouraging you to drive carefully. They often make cute little pun-ridden messages on holidays, or little rhyming messages when it's just a normal day. This particular message, the good folks of the city of Houston seem to love the most, because it's always up:

I can't see this freaking sign without reading it aloud and shaking my head. I always change the vowel on the last word to make it match the vowel of arrive, alive, and drive. It drives me crazy (makes me want to drive aggressive?).

Does it bother you like it bothers me?
