You took it further than I would. I'd listen to the sign these days, but there was absolutely a time that, that sign would have just been a challenge.

Edit: for you grammar nerds. Do I need that comma? It seems like it should be there, but it also seems superfluous at the same time.

With the "that, that" the comma helps, but you actually don't even need the second that for that sentence to make grammatical sense.

I feel like if they replaced the first "that" with "when" it would read smoother. "...a time when that sign"

On that note, I really hate it when a double-that is the only way for a sentence to make sense. Like I need to rewrite the whole paragraph to avoid that monstrosity.

I go full on Martian when I read a double-that.
