While there are a lot of things out there with questionable purposes, for the most part, you can realize why they exist.
We’re not really talking about those things today. No, today we’re taking a look at some of the most pointless things that are still being used out there for some reason.

Are there really a lot of cars jumping the curb there? Maybe they're just really thick parking spot lines...
This Bench

Unless you can teleport yourself over the grass to the bench, you're violating the very intimidating sign.This Staircase

When you get to the bottom of the stairs, you're supposed to jump onto that wire and continue to the tree where you can eventually shimmy down to the ground. Obviously.
These Shoes

It's a good thing they made the front of the waterproof because there's no way the back of your foot will get wet wearing these, right?This Fire Exit

Fire! Run through the door right into another row of cars in the parking ramp!This Fire Extinguisher

Speaking of fire, how is this supposed to work? I can't translate, but I believe it just says, "Run for your life because this ain't happening, dude."This Sign

It's a bus stop, but no buses actually stop. Makes total sense. Great use of signage. The smiley face is a nice touch though.This Banana Keeper
via: Imgur
But only if your banana is the exact shape of the container. Otherwise, your banana is doomed to brown on the counter.
And This Sign
via: Imgur
Well, it's not a totally pointless sign because now you can be on the lookout for vending machines without the pointless sign and maybe get a cash reward!
This Gate

I suppose it does serve as a tiny barrier between solid land and the edge of a cliff, but still... The greenery is quite scenic, you have to admit.These Drawers
via: Imgur
Someone forgot that whole, "Measure twice, cut once" thing. How did this get past quality control?This Peephole
via: Imgur
Why look out a huge window when you can have the more intimate experience of using a creepy peephole?This Water
via: Fit Clarity
Does normal water just have too many negative calories for you? Have no fear! Diet water exists!This Book
via: Imgur
Instead of actually watching clips on YouTube, you can read about the clips you should probably watch on YouTube. Shouldn't this be an e-book?This Bus Seat
via: Imgur
Sure, boss. Totally put those bus seat in single file. Mission accomplished.This Door
via: Imgur
It's actually not totally pointless, seeing as it really makes lunch exciting when someone just random drops in there.
These Steps
via: Imgur
Don't think of them as totally useless stairs. Think of it as a tiny little stage.This Watermelon
via: Bored Panda
The perfect snack to eat alongside your diet water. Don't get too full, my friends.This Bench
via: Imgur
Are you tired and want to take a load off? Just scale the fence and take a seat right here on that bench.This Warning
via: Twitter
Someone had to necessitate this sign, so I guess it's not really pointless. But I say just let natural selection take over.This Bike Lane
via: Imgur
Just pedal to the medal, take a right and then catapult over the railing. Make sure to wear a helmet.
This Wiper
via: Imgur
Unless they've swapped out wiper fluid for paint remover, I'm thinking that's not going to really work.And last but not least...
Hours of pointless fun!
