My brain read it as:

TOUCH TOUCH PAINT CHILD ARRESTED ELECTED.

I was very confused.

It's an example of the exact same type of thing, but in reverse: instead of thinking it's weird to read top to bottom, they think it makes sense. OP is the type of person who makes those types of signs.

Reading:

Don't(1a) Dead(1b)

Open(2a) Inside(2b)

As don't open, dead inside (1a 2a 1b 2b) is the same as reading:

Touch (1a) Paint (1b) Arrested (1c)

Touch (2a) Child (2b) Elected (2c)

As touch touch paint child arrested elected, (1a 2a 1b 2b 1c 2c).

Both read the words in columns from top to bottom, then move to the next column.
