47 Things That Were Invented Because of People’s Stupidity

Oh, exit signs! Those glaringly obvious, bright red arrows were conjured up because some folks just couldn’t figure out how to leave a room. Talk about a testament to human dim-wittedness. I can just imagine the thought process: “Hmmm, I see a door, but is that the way out? Oh, thank goodness for that giant neon sign!”

It’s as if we’ve become so inept that we need step-by-step instructions for the simplest tasks. I wonder how long it’ll be before we need signs for everything else. “This way to breathe. Warning: don’t forget to blink!” Honestly, it’s a wonder we’ve made it this far without further instructions from above.
