Trying looking at a sign or a sentence directly without reading it.
If I am fluent with the langauge and alphabet I kinda just start reading the words automatically.
I can’t tell myself to not read.
That’s why advertising is harassment
Humans can't consent to reading.

Don't do this while driving, but if you are a passenger in a car, focus on the traffic, the car in front of you, but NOT the license plate. You generally can't read it. You get a sense that there's a 'G' in there, but can't figure it out until you focus on the plate. The brain is funny that way.

Is this a good opportunity about my obsession with not being able to consent to have public advertisements or sudden, unannounced advertisements hijack my brain from whatever i was trying to think?

Public advertising shouldn’t be legal

Sometime during my processing of the bottom 3, I realized I shouldn’t even look at the top line. I still haven’t read it.
You said some shit about me, didn’t you?

I asked if I was the only one that have a damn about the rules

This person does NOT consent to reading.

Nope, I read the top second cause I thought I should start from the top

I think just like the reading it’s very different per person. I’m great at zoning out and not listening to people. Intentionally or not.

May I ask, good sir or madam, that you read this reply on a public forum?

Some people can, some people can’t.
Don’t assume what you do is normal for anyone else.

Yeah if I try to read without focusing I mix up words often, I should probably get tested for dyslexia lol

You are in luck, as your eyes get older they add their own blur effect.
