In some places there are coral reefs etc. that do not like getting trampled on. This sign might actually make sense. Or if not coral, maybe just sharp rocks and things that would not be nice to stand on, at least with bare feet. Might not be a 100% stupid sign.

Reminds me a little of the old Burma Shave signs (which were before my time, but still)

Yeah but does it come with a burger? After all it doesn't seem to be obvious if they have to point out about the cheese. I want to see "Cheeseburger with Cheese and Burger!" or none of this.

It's like when people ask, "what's the time?" I say "time to get a watch!"

This one is not so silly. Unfortunately, some people are so dumb as to try and pet these animals through the fence.

Its not a mirage...this sign has validity, I have driven in long barren country where your eyes can play tricks, and knowing this you could disbelieve them

Brought about by stupid attempts at litigation due to being below average intelligence!

that's right, or the hot water can be cold because the hot water MAY have run out.

this sign is fine, because we can say for example, you bought an item in japan but made of china

The overwhelming majority of the signs are there to protect someone from an overly litigious society. Its a shame that so many will sue for such stupid things, but it happens all the time. The rest of the signs are......well.......just plain worthless. ;D

Well in America you can sue basically anyone for anything. So i'm not surprised by some of these signs! Better safe than sorry 🙈

Due to some political doofusness, our state department of transportation was required to get fancy signs for all of the rest stop toilets and urinals saying, "Do not drink from toilets or urinals: Non-potable water". Before all of the signs could be installed, more political doofusness required that all of the signs be removed. I now have one up on the wall in my living room because it makes me laugh.

#2 is just IKEA being silly - they are known to do that. #102 isn't obvious - Brazil nuts also grow in a few other countries.

Sign #82 is not a dumb sign. Not all sushi contains raw fish. Some have cooked fish, some just vegetables. Sushi is defined by the rice, not the embellishments.

Well, few of them are not completely crazy. Few of them are jokes/pranks (I hope). But mostly I think evolution should take over. Warn people about hot fire? For real?
