This Weekend I Got Mad at a Road Sign

You know the arrow they paint for turns on the road? Its a curve with the triangle. In the parking lot of the Buena Vista Library in Burbank, there is such a sign. Its a right arrow next to the outdoor book drop. I noticed it over the weekend and it made me mad.
The triangle was off balance. Instead of the middle of the triangle aligned with the middle of the curve, the top edge of the curve aligned with the middle of the triangle. Like this:
That was just a representation too. The actual arrow in question was far more offensive to the eye.
Why does this matter? It doesn't in the greater sense of life but it pissed me off for 5 minutes and I thought you would like to know.
