We humans are big fans of recognizing patterns. “Fans” is an understatement. Our comparatively gargantuan brains and this noticing of patterns is one of the key things that helped us survive and evolve to where we are today.
What I’m getting to is that we notice things and sometimes falsely attach them to others. So when we see a sign, we expect it to be informative, concise, official… But sometimes they’re anything but.
Today, we’ve collected a whole bunch of these signs that are so useless, they become hilarious.

No S**t Sherlo... Wait... Cake?
Simple. You'd be more inclined to drive carefully if you have a cake in your car than if you didn't.
Dang Was Scheduling To Have A Heart Attack There Gotta Go Somewhere Else I Guess
What
Nothing Happened
There is not one place on Earth where nothing happens. Something is happening everywhere all the time. Even if it's just the gentle breeze flipping a small leaf over, it's something.

Deer Can Read, Right?
This has to be the most infuriating one on the list. Putting out a pile of food for local wildlife then shooting that wildlife seems more like baiting (which is against the law here in WA) and the sign seems like a poor attempt at covering their @$$

We Wanted To Tell You...nothing At All
This just in: Audi has pounced Bouche's tail yet again! Tired of his shenanigans, Bouche jumped into the bathroom sink to enjoy a nap. Audi followed her to the sink and fell asleep on top of her. Bouche began grooming Audi, to point out that she's the queen cat of the sink. He gave her the same look I gave my mother when she'd spit on a tissue to wash my face. Audi decided it would be much more fun to play climb the soft can-opener, and climbed out of the sink. Bouche is now enjoying her kitten-free napping time. Audi was distracted by a bit of fluff that desperately needed to be killed, and is determinedly stalking it. Updates at ten and twelve.
Well... What Are You Going To Do About It?

Some of these are less "useless", and more "completely misunderstood by the OPs and many of the commenters". Which...I suppose IS actually pretty useless, now that I think about it, because if people can't understand the message your sign is trying to convey, then your sign isn't very useful after all, is it? Words are hard sometimes...
