If you need any proof that mankind is regressing as a species then, well, you probably need to pay more attention to the world. Take a look at these signs for instance, compiled by Bored Panda. They shouldn't need to exist. But they do. Why? Because humans are getting stupider, that's why. Well, either that or sign-makers are getting funnier. Perhaps it's a bit of both. Who knows. Whatever the truth of the matter, all we know is that they're pretty funny. And as long as we have our sense of humor then there is surely hope for mankind. Although Darwin might disagree.

This is a good sign. It warns off people who might want a quick suicide.
Perhaps we have mor estupid People simply because human kind is growing by aproximately 80 million per year. The percentage of stupidity may stay the same...
If it doesn't contain peanuts, I'm gettin' angry.
Load More Replies...Just in case someone who is allergic to them doesn't know what a peanut LOOKS like.
My mom saw an article about a kid that kept getting sick at school. They found out his mom was making him PB&J sandwiches. He's sensitive to nuts but SHE DIDN'T KNOW PEANUT BUTTER CONTAINS PEANUTS... People just refuse to think these days - at all!!!
Nope, only dog food.. Okay okay some catfood but only the good stuff.
Load More Replies...Why not? That would make more sense. Just because we're obsessed with drinking the milk of other species, doesn't mean we should also force cats to do the same!
To be fair, we don't label human infant formula as "human milk", now do we? Because we KNOW that would be misleading!
It's hard to find their little udders in all that fur when it's milking time. And they are so hard to herd.
makes you wonder just how often the staff was asked this exact question....
You mean to tell me that the herd of cats i just bought won't bring me milk? ugh!
Seems to be a universal problem - people all around the world wonder about that mysterious lever next to the wheel!
Love this one, so true. I want to pull cars over and show them where thier turn signal is and how to use it. I could bet you these are the same people who have no clue how to use hand signals either
A magnet on my office desk says, "You can't fix stupid but you can sedate it."
¨Ugh I came for the COLD fire¨-Prob me in the future when I burning alive
F**k the sign- OW OW OW OW OW. OK, MAYBE you should listen to the sign.
Is that where the shoplifters try to make their getaway????
Load More Replies...They don't want them to find the trojan soldiers inside.
Load More Replies...They wouldn't have put that there unless somebody had once tried it. That's what bothers me.
Aaaahhhh.... I get it now, after reading the comments! I was like... "Wait, what!? Why would they sell computer virus programs anyway??" Hehe...
I think he's a really geeky nerd whose never been laid how do you not know that is a Condem
Load More Replies...Someone probably got caught opening them to shop lift and that was the best excuse they could come up with to avoid a shop lifting charge.
I had that same sticker on my toilet tank because it was funny, not because we actually wanted to dive in.
Tht's not a dumb advice, I guess most of the people would do exactly that as the first choice, me included.
Now come on!! That is probably the only amusing thing to do with a bunch dildo's without getting creepy..
Yes, on a nice night me and my friends can find nothing better to do than bash each other with dildos >.<
I'd love to see a parent of a Blackhawks player loose his mind on the ice. I can't be the only one.
Good for the club. Kayden's football club has a similar sign that stops any potential ugly parents before they get started.
Referees might not be the smartest humans, but forgive them; for they have a whistle stick in their mouths.
This one, sadly, is needed at kids sporting events these days... due to the insane parents!
"If you don't understand this, please contact xxx-xxx-xxxx. We would be happy to explain!" Lol its at the bottom of the sign
This sign is probably smarter as most signs saying 'Max height: xxx' ....
It happened IRL a couple years ago-1 major segment of the bridge dropped into the river.
Load More Replies...this makes a lot of sense! who knows how high 13', etv. are--which is what these warnings usually say.
So you want a random stranger appearing in your home?
Load More Replies...Haha, I agree! - And we sorta want to know what it is... 😂
Load More Replies...That's a shame, I was looking for a nice, haunted house for scary Halloween parties.
Maybe the sign should read, "Please stay away from the balcony when drunk/stoned."
If you hit the concrete with your head, you will make a mess on the ground.
Or, if by some reason you find yourself sitting on the crocodile make sure you are sitting on top of the head end and not the tail.
To be fair if you need someone to tell you not to then you deserve what you get :)
The crocs are unhappy with that sign. "We didn't pee on the floor. How come we don't get treats any more?"
If you get that close, you probably won't get the chance to sit down first.
This notice should be placed at a whole lot of places! I see far too many parents forcing their children to do something.
I once heard a father call his son a wimp because the son was upset about the father forcing him onto the monkey bars in a playground. Pffffft ...
Load More Replies...Encourage.... I agree no force but build up there confidence.... My 2 year old liked the pool slide till he went under the water once then he got scared. Today we went climbed up the ladder a few times but he didn't want to try until the third or forth time. Then he went twice on my knee. Victory
Just because your parents did it to you doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Children: do not force parents to ride if they tell you it will make them hurl .
Yeah, I have a Puma shirt and it says this on the tag lol
Load More Replies...Actually this is not the stupid tag. It`s the stupid person who misunderstood it. Wash T-shirt when the white drop becomes visually dirty. SMH
It is actually stupid to rely on signs and instructions rather than common senses and racio, right?
Load More Replies...Society discriminates against unwashed clothes.
Load More Replies...Someone once entered the bathroom with a Coca-cola in his hand, and accidentally dropped it. The liquid splashed all over the walls, but he never bothered cleaning it. There was an idiot at a urinal during this time and saw what happened. So, he went..."oh, man...I'd kill for some cola...the floor is too dirty, but the wall seems clean enough..."
Load More Replies...That's actually a good question. Cameras aren't allowed in bathrooms.
Load More Replies...the tiny sign above reads "you only rent beer" . . . . . . . ((o_____o))
Well, the wall licking is solved. It's beer.
Load More Replies...That's not saliva. It's pee or some other fluid. Put some toilet paper please.
What must be awkward during sex with an American & a Belgian...
Load More Replies...They are going to have a hard time expanding if they don't use Klingonese.
Load More Replies...I dont speak starbucks thats for sure or Klingon but I do speak pig latin around my friednds
blargh this kinda c**p comes off as so pretentious i'd be moving along to the next darn coffee shop.
Just some pretentious coffee shop wanting to be cooler than big business.
"Death City" was deemed too alarming. The aliens are looking for a new name for their underwater for their underwater base.
Load More Replies...People outside: Pull up your pants. Will this discrimination never cease?
Load More Replies...I just imagined some 2 year old with drooping pants looking like a tiny 17 year old
*Children under 3 years of age are highly encouraged to show their underwear - Sincerely Pedo Management
GRRRR the toilet- tiny kid thats confused why they blocked the toilet
They have a restaurant & cafe? I thought they only sold weird furnishings!
I'm going to assume toilet covers. Just remove it if you want to use it. The words are just decorative so don't bother reading them.
Load More Replies...Back in 1915, when Oreos were still new, someone loved them so much he bought a big pack of them and hid them behind James Joyce's "Ulysses" because no one was picking it up, and the guy was worried that Oreos might not sell well and disappear. But Oreos did fine, and the owner never returned for them. 100 years later, a user of this library decided to take a plunge and read Joyce. He found the pack of Oreos, opened them and ate one. He was rather generous and went around the library treating other patrons with 100-year-old Oreos (which still smelled and looked just fine!) A little while later, ambulances were called to the library reporting people with "upset stomachs."
Load More Replies...Oreos in the books! Oreos in the computer systems! Oreos everywhere! Yum yum children eat up
this sign is actually a law in my country.... :s lei-do-mes...311020.gif
OMG MAGGIE YOU ARE SO SASSY!! YOUR COMMENTS ARE FUNNIER THAN THE SIGNS!
Recently in Brooklyn a woman opened the elevator doors and not noticing the elevator was not there walked forward, pushing a stroller, and her 6-week old baby fell down 8 flights and died. There had been may complaints filed about this building's elevator not being there before so....
This is actually kind of important. In 1897 everything was happening. So this place had nothing happening. Impressive.
aals;dkjfalbekj *gibbering* but then why is that there tryna cover up a governmen thing
I see a huge panic, people running around a not remembering-hey we got a nuclear bunker
I've been to that secret nuclear bunker. They don't charge and entry fee but you have to pay to get out. Seriously.
This sign is useful. Those secret nuclear bunkers are hard to find.
am betting the back story is "this is vandalism"
Load More Replies...Shouldn't that be on the other side of the lid? It's a little late to say it after the lid is closed!!
I had heard a story of someone putting a baby in there and closing it -- assuming that there was someone 'inside' that would change the baby... We DO live in a "Drive-thru" nation, but SERIOUSLY????
The three phases of the reactions of the people who didn't heed the warning.
Load More Replies...If they don't want you to use it as a urinal, they would've provided an actual urinal.
That sounds like an excellent way to warm up cold popcorn! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS!
Why not? Edit: and why would you have popcorn in the bathroom in the 1st place?
What if the backstory here is that someone managed to put his or her legs between the spikes and then got stuck?
Wh-what is that red thing on the bottom? This is where males are supposed to pee, right? I hope, for the sake of someone's health that it's just the toilette design...
Maybe it's for aiming? You know, like a dart board - the closer to the center that you get, the more points? lol
Load More Replies...That's just plain nasty! To think what people must've been doing to bring that about.
Awww - poor fishies. Coins are to be thrown in fountains anyway - not ponds.
You should've thought ahead. Be illiterate and they can't use the 'we had a sign' defense.
Load More Replies...Don't stick the gas pump up your backside. 0.o
Load More Replies...I had a woman refuse to buy an organic mattress because I couldn't guarantee that it had *never* been touched by sheets or clothing that were not also organic. Sigh.
My thoughts exactly. What does "organic" even mean when it comes to food?! That it has a fancy "natural looking" package? All food is organic....
Load More Replies...This isn't stupid! A moose actually walked into the hospital! Funny, but not stupid!!!
This is discrimination. A moose has every right to use a business just like everyone else.
Yay! I had exactly the same thought as yours!!!! Playing FF9 lately. ♥ I love you!
Load More Replies...Then what would keep the sign up? The sign can't just float there. In seriousness, the pole is probably there to prevent people from driving on the plants.
Load More Replies...This one is actually useful... unless the pole is painted, it's hard to see when looking thru the rear view mirror!!
In winter, that pole would likely be buried but the sign could still be seen..
Load More Replies...Yeah, they'd need this is the Timbers or Whitecaps were coming to town, since their balls go flying everywhere.
Reminds me of The Simpsons when Bart writes, "Coffee is not for kids".
You'd think the'd encourage it... to keep the kids awake in math class. ;)
Well, where else am I supposed to go? To the room labeled "men's restroom"?
Don't be silly. The men's room is where I buy my tickets.
Load More Replies...All the fun? They didn't exclude playing with dangerous weapons.
Load More Replies...I like the children part.... Feel free to drug deal to adults then.. Lol
I would hope people wouldn't need to look at that sign to know that...
That is not one of their rules. Neither is selling people in general, apparently.
Load More Replies...Can we add no making out in public too? We don't need to see that.
Where is this place....it must have had a lot of fun visitors at one point. With rules like this, one vaca spot I'd like to avoid.
So I guess my sweater would be okay then? Actually, a girlfriend's sweater would work too. It does specify ex.
Heavy water, technically not water. It is H3O, and is not safe to drink or swim in.
No, it's still H2O but it has a superscripted 2 above the H. H3O would imply that the molecule has three hydrogen atoms which it doesn't.
Load More Replies...It's probably a sign at a hotel in a beach resort where people fish and bring back the fish to clean, fillet, and cook them. They don't want the mess or smell in the room. Not much funny about this one.
And what is the purpose of this notice informing about itself? Could anybody explain? Because now it looks to me like one of the dumbest things I've EVER seen
It's to insure that the vending machine owner is paying sales tax.
Load More Replies...If the sign is not on the machine, how is anyone supposed to get the number so they can claim the reward?
Law requires a notice that gives you a number to report if there is no notice. But if there is no notice to give you the number, you won't know who to call.. hmmm....
THIS IS THE POLICE! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!
Load More Replies...it says do not enter and do not exit and for emergency only..in case of emergency you have to stop and think twice about it and getting all that mess out of your way
In fairness, Exit is in big print but the rest isn't. I'm also wondering how many times this happened before it became the last time.
The trap is that there is no exit. By the time people realize it, it's too late.
Load More Replies...I'd probably go down a couple of steps... just to see what they were keeping everyone away from. ;)
Coconut trees are actually pretty dangerous. People get killed by them pretty regularly.
I think I've read that more people actually die annually from being hit by a falling coconut than from being bitten/eaten by sharks. Maybe they should make that a theme of next horror movie instead of poor sharks or something :P
I imagine someone would be offended by a movie called The Coconut.
Load More Replies...I was park my car under the coconut tree. A coconut fell and broke my windshield.
I'm certain the coconut would swerve away from Keith and somehow kill Leonard Cohen.
Load More Replies...THE COCONUT NUT IS A GIANT NUT IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH, YOU'LL GET VERY FAT NOW, THE COCONUT NUT IS A BIG, BIG NUT BUT THIS DELICIOUS NUT IS NOT A NUT
China probably, based on the simplified Chinese and bad spacing.
Load More Replies...The second line should be "Don't get too close to them". The first 'to' should be 'too'.
Load More Replies...Seriously, where - and by whom - are these people being raised that they would consider drinking from a toilet (no matter how "clean" it may look) in the first place?
that's so obvious. who needs this sign to tell them. any way how would you even end up near a lion in the first place.
Load More Replies...that's for the benefit of those who might go to that post because they knew there was a phone there ... once before ... I guess they also decided it would be cheaper to create a whole lot of generic weather-proof signs for putting up on the posts of decommissioned rail station phones, instead of individualising them, and just printing the new locations on a paper poster indoors.
This sign isn't so helpful when the station information poster is missing.
I see they are kind enough to post lifeguards. Where I live, they just post signs saying 'swim at your own risk.'
"Law Library Director"... so people are stuffing cash under their boobs at the LAW LIBRARY?
Librarian: That's unsanitary but we'll accept it.
Load More Replies...Okay, I can understand sock money but not accepting boob money is totalitarian.
Apparently, people were removing the cap of the sanitizer which was unnecessary. They only need to squeeze the bottle. Only surmising.
Load More Replies...I don't want to consider what made that brown mark on the wall under the sign. Meanwhile - where's the bottle?
The sign didn't say where you had to squeeze the bottle.
Load More Replies...That's why people were trying to use the ticket office. Toilet bad.
Load More Replies...In fairness, they could be different offers. I've been to stores where they won't give you the discount unless you buy, in this case, 4. So clarifying that it's only 2 means you only have to purchase half the stated amount.
Load More Replies...So let's see... if I buy 2 for $5, twice... isn't that still 4 for $10? What school did they go to?
PS - it doesn't matter anyway, because the computer does the price per unit. Like when they sell something as 10 for $10 - you don't have to buy 10 of that item to get that price... you could buy 3 and they'll just be $1 each.
Load More Replies...That actually makes sense. If the unit costs, for example, 3$, and the promotion is "4 for 10$", then 3 would cost 9$ while if the promotion is 2 for 5$, then 3 would cost 8$. Its different.
The fact that the signs are posted is worrying - who on earth would consider doing some of these things?
I used to work at a hotel with a roof-top restaurant. On multiple occasions, guest would ask: "What floor is the roof on?". True story.
Not whole humanity, only Americans, good luck with Your suing culture...
