Trying to copy a cool font from a poster for my garage sign backfired

I printed the stencil upside down without noticing. Now my 'Tool Shed' looks like it says something in alien code.

Remember hearing about a guy who tried to stencil "garage" and did the same thing. His ended up looking like some secret club name instead. Seen a few backwards signs at flea markets too, always gives them a weird vibe. That kind of mistake is honestly way more common than people admit. Kind of gives your shed some character though, a funny story for anyone who notices.

Ever wonder if our brains just short-circuit when we trace letters? Like we're so focused on painting inside the lines that we forget words need to face outward to be read. It's that weird mirror-image blind spot, and you only see it when you step back with the paint drying. Makes that quiet moment of realization way too familiar.
