There are some things in life that are just plain obvious. For instance, jumping off a third floor balcony is bad for you, just like listening to The 1975 is also bad for you in a different way.
So, with this idea in mind, please enjoy these 15+ moments that made us go, “Tell me something I don’t know.”

“Peanuts may contain peanuts.”
You just know that there is one idiotic person out there who is the reason why this has to be put on these packets.
“Ah yes, thanks.”
I’d actually be worried about putting something like this up in a bar, as I feel like there would actually be a lot of drunk guys just seeing this as a challenge.
“That would’ve been one hell of a bargain.”
What that means is that the actual cinnamon buns are much bigger than this picture suggests!
“Clearly…”
I suppose this is a prophecy that fulfills itself, isn’t it? I hope they don’t get sick of this joke, ’cause lord knows I would.
“I’m a volcanologist and I really don’t know how it took me so long to actually get around to making these.”
I dread to think how many times they had actually heard this line before snapping and getting these made. I like the idea of this person keeping track in their head until one day it just got to be too much.
“This hotel has clear instructions for an emergency situation.”
I don’t know about you, but that is the only plan I have ever followed when it comes to thinking that there is a fire!
“He’s obviously eating Vienna Sausage on a rainbow…”
Well that’s what it clearly is! I mean, what else could it be, really? And make sure to keep your answers PG!
“This clearly broken chair.”
I love the slightly passive aggressive tone of this warning sign. I think that all warning signs should be this snarky.
“Ok.”
They really were asking for it when they printed out that first label, weren’t they? They could have written that instead of printing that on a label!
“I’m so glad they cleared that up.”
I like their business model! I can’t see a problem with this, unless they have no stock, in which case they’re screwed!
Are You Sure?
I feel like they are trying to hide something by writing “actual” here. I wonder, if you open it, do they turn out to be fake scissors?! It’s the perfect ploy.
“Just so we’re clear…”
How many times do you think that they found… Actually, you know what? I don’t need or want an answer to that question.
“Which one’s the plain burg—oh.”
In fairness, it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize what was going on in this picture.
“Thank you captain obvious!”
I expect nothing but the truth from my garments of clothing, and so I’ve got a lot of time for this. I’ve been lied to by jackets one too many times…one too many damn times.
“If this isn’t a sign, I don’t know what is.”
It would be rude not to take notice of this quite clear sign. Not going in and getting a beer would be like slapping God in the face.
“Be weird if you didn’t.”
I guess that when it comes to selling muffins you really don’t need much of a marketing strategy. People just love muffins!
“Asked my dad for a blank CD, showed me this saying ‘I’ve got a clear one’.”
If you set a dad up for a dad joke like this, then you can’t be surprised when they deliver on that joke. He looks so quietly pleased with himself as well.
“Is it a little obvious that I don’t ride my bicycle enough?”
If you’re at the point where small birds are nesting in your bicycle, I think it’s time you either sold the bicycle or made a lifestyle change.
Student Drivers!
You just know that, in this car is a very embarrassed learner and a furious teacher!
“Mom always values clear and open communication.”
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be messing up that kitchen. There is something unsettling about the specificity of that threat!
“Yeh, I know. Thanks for that!”
Sometimes people need a reminder about their age. I hope that they took this photo a few years ago. Otherwise that computer needs to take a few math classes.
“Well, that clears things up!”
Someone asked, if you crawl under the fence, does that then not count as trespassing? These are the big questions in life.
“The directions were clear.”
I wonder what mark they got for this? I hope to God that they had a teacher with a decent sense of humor.
“Something tells me that you don’t…”
I feel like this would give Spanish people a nosebleed if they tried to read this. It must be agony seeing your own language being murdered right in front of your eyes.
“I don’t think you know what 24 Hours means.”
Someone suggested that the “24 hours 7 days a week” refers to when the store is physically there, not when it is actually open.
I’ve Been Doing It Wrong This Whole Time…
Ahhh, so that explains why I keep shattering my knees and shins whenever I try to leave my friend’s apartment!
“Obvious sign is obvious.”
That’s kind of the point of a hill. Well, that and… Actually, I don’t know what the point of a hill is, except to skateboard down I guess?
“Found this in my school science lab.”
That’s…kind of the point? If someone still manages to burn themselves on this then there is no hope for them.
“My local weather station, telling it in real life terms.”
I live in an apartment. Does that mean I can measure wind by the amount my screen door rattles in its frame?
“Drove right past the park and he instantly knew he was going to the vet.”
Look at his face. This isn’t the first time you’ve betrayed his trust. If he starts becoming distant, you know who’s to blame.
“Good to know. Summer will be here soon.”
This place specifying that it isn’t the same truck is making me very scared of every place that doesn’t specify.
“Everything I’ve ever learned is telling me to dig.”
And if those sources are right, you’ll only have to dig once! Low effort, high payoff!
“Don’t hesitate when telling David your name.”
“Uhh is a really unique first name! Where’s it from?”
“Uhh…America?”
“Uhhmerica? I’ve never heard of it!”
“My girlfriend started a new diary today. I got curious and took a glance at it after asking her about it. Something tells me this a dummy diary.”
There’s no winning here. Either you’re right and you got caught trying to read your girlfriend’s diary, or you’re wrong and you’re proving her point.
“I’m moving houses, we just finished labelling everything.”
I don’t think he needs a label to show that. He radiates it at all times.
“Found hundreds of these when we were cleaning out my grandfather’s car after he passed.”
There’s something about the rude Mickey Mouse that makes this so much better. Not only did you get told off by a stranger, but by the world’s most famous cartoon character too!
“How can you tell if someone is a marathoner? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”
I can’t even be mad or annoyed. Marathoners have a right to brag. I can’t remember the last time I ran that wasn’t sprinting for a train I had almost missed.
“Someone clearly can’t function without their morning coffee.”
Apparently, this happens quite a lot as another person wrote, “I had this happen to me. Got my coffee, sat down, opened my laptop and a senior woman tapped me on the shoulder and said ‘excuse me, miss. I believe you have some knickers stuck to your shirt’.”
“It’s like they knew I’d be walking by.”
“All three of these problems at once? Well, come in first, but then I think you should talk to someone about how you manage your life.”
“I don’t know what methods they use and I don’t wanna find out.”
There is no escaping the educating force of the school year! Who else is going to answer all of those questions about people getting too many items of fruit from the stores?
