I posted this on the previous page, and if you imagine there's another little sign underneath it, you get the idea. This sign of course isn't a perfect match, but it has the same shape as the sign on top. It loons like there's a separate smaller sign underneath it, which forms what we see as the lower half of the mouth/jaw.
Of course I see what you see too, which is pareidolia, where the two eyes would be like the tow truck and the car, and the mouth is the divider between the top and bottom signs, etc. Nothing wrong with pareidolia as we all experience it, but once you recognize that's what it is, you can then start to see it's something else.
As someone pointed out maybe I should have flipped the sign as we are looking at a mirror image, but it's not an exact match anyway, however there are other no parking signs that may be a closer match, or it could be another kind of sign.
I thought that it was quite interesting, I've never seen anything like it before. I still don't see the whole sign thing and how that's what it is.. How could a sign be seemingly so close, to where it looks like it is rubbing against the back window of the car?
It's not that close. Didn't you say you were pulling out of a shopping center parking lot? If so it's common to be turning when doing so, which could bring a sign into view like that while you're turning, if it's say a car length behind you.

Unfortunately your video analysis skills are lacking. Familiarize yourself with "frame rate". It's only 15 frames per second in this video which means it's like 15 still shots per second. Of course things happen in 1/15 second that don't show up with a series of still shots which is what a video really is.

I've watched the reposted vid a few times. This apparition appears suddenly, out of the blue. It's not something that enters into view as the vehicle moves.
