We empirical study the signs' property in the directed signed social networks of Slashdot and Epinions by using an reshuffled approach. Through calculating the entropy $S_{out}$ and the giant component $G$, we find an interesting 90/10 phenomenon: each individual labels his/her neighbors as friends with $90\%$ or foes with $10\%$ uniformly random from the macroscopic perspective. We also find that the entropy $S_{out}$ is suppressed by the non-randomness of labeling sign. Our present work can prove how do the randomness and the non-randomness coexist in human behavior of labeling signs, qualitatively.
