You know that feeling when you write a comment that's so obvious it actually makes the code less clear? Yeah, we've all been there. "The patio is currently not open because it is closed" is the spiritual equivalent of writing // increment i by 1 above i++.
The real tragedy is that whoever wrote that sign probably felt productive doing it. Same energy as when you're trying to hit those "lines of code" metrics and start adding comments like // setting variable to true followed by isOpen = true;
We write comments to explain the "why," not to narrate what's already painfully obvious. But hey, at least they documented something, which is more than most codebases can say.
