Humans have come a long way since our Neanderthal forefathers, but sometimes something happens that makes you wonder just how much we've evolved. Are we really so crazy about our health that we need diet water? Unbeatable eggs? A case for a banana that is already equipped with a perfect guard called a peel? Though you would say that those are useless things, we say it's marvelous! These utterly weird things perfectly depict how creative we are in every sphere imaginable. Yes, sometimes the useless inventions are a bit over-the-top, but hey, stairs that seemingly lead nowhere might be a portal to some other dimension. You just have to take a proper look. And the road sign containing a message that it is not a road sign might carry a more profound message and is not some measly design fail at all.
Check out this list of utterly crazy things and unimaginably bad designs compiled by Bored Panda, and don't forget to turn on your imagination when trying to understand what purpose they could have. Although, we are pretty sure that if this list of funny things would reach Darwin's hands, he might be a little disappointed in the evolutionary processes.

Saw This Useful Sign Today
They probably did it to avoid the annoyance of angry stupid drivers who reversed into the pole and accuse them instead of admitting they drive like s**t. If they let the pole there it's for a reason. Maybe it can't be taken off because the base is a large ciment block underground. Or maybe this pole is supposed to wear another sign that isn't available at the moment.

The Most Useless Fire Exit In The World
In several countries buildings have to be separated into different fire-sections, between which there have to be doors. There might be a big sliding door on the left to separate the parking area on the left from the one on the right in case of fire. To be still able to escape between the both of them as a pedestrian there is the door on the right.

You know it's also useless for posting multiple same pictures on a post.
A lot of these have rational explanations and/or were purposely made as gags. At first glance, the situation may seem odd, but there are decorative, utilitarian, and other reasons for the supposed "fails."
And some are just jobsworth fails - 'they told me to put this wall/door/stair here, so I am. I don't get paid enough for common sense or asking questions'
Great series...and it is (at least for me) even more fun then to fathom purposes than to simply accept the purposelessness. :D
I agree Hans it's a great series very funny!! :D
