We like to think that, due to our very skilled brains and critical thinking, not everything has to be explained to us. There’s a reason that “Captain Obvious” is thrown about as a sarcastic slight: There’s simply no need to outline information that’s clear. Or is there? These 30 signs are all the product of Captain Obvious, but we can’t help but wonder: What kind of human behavior prompted these signs to be imagined into existence? In other words, while these ridiculous signs might be obvious — were they actually necessary to prevent humans from doing themselves future harm? The world may never know.
