You should stand up for what you believe in. And it might be best if you do it with a sign. That’s one way to make sure people pay attention, whether it’s human rights or stopping employees from eating fish at the office that you’re advocating for.

These and many more topics have been touched on by the renowned ‘Dude With Sign’. You’ve likely seen a picture of him holding a cardboard sheet with a witty or serious, in most cases very relatable statement. If you haven’t, you're about to familiarize yourself with one of the voices of our generation. If you have, you know you’re in for a treat. Sit back, relax, and browse through the things that have been bugging him lately, which have likely popped into your head at some point, too. If you want the list to keep going, you can find more of his statements here, here, or here.

What started as an experiment to protest something publicly went on to spread like wildfire. At the moment, ‘Dude With Sign’ has already attracted 8 million followers. The mastermind behind the account—New York-based creative Seth Phillips.

In an interview with Drew Barrymore, he shared that it all started with a sign saying “Stop replying-all to company-wide emails”. It was inspired by the actual events of that day at work, which is likely what makes his signs so relatable. After receiving a positive reaction from the passersby, Seth decided to keep on going.

RELATED:

    His one-man protests cover everything from the latest trends in TV or music (stopping yourself from singing “I can buy myself flowers” is not an easy task to do), to perfectly capturing awkward social situations or even highlighting political matters. Seth continuously documents them—while wearing his signature shades, of course—and uploads the pictures online for the world to see.

    As a picky eater, I'm especially angry with Buzz for not leaving any plain pizza for Kevin. What a jerk, with a stupid name.

    No, they don't. We need to pay growers a fair price and avocados are very difficult to grow

    They take 5 weeks to get ripe on the counter and when they do go ripe, you have like 5 minutes before they turn all black inside. It is for this reason I dub them: Worst. Vegetable. Ever!

    For those who have a half avocado going brown: take a piece of raw white onion and place in Ziploc bag with avocado and close. Put in fridge. The avocado stops going brown for reasons I don't understand. My mother does this and she was right about it - I'm here to share the magic!

    Correction: Avocados need to stay ripe longer. They live in the almost ripe stage FOREVER!

    Expensive to grow. They use excessive amounts of water. Also, many farmers in Mexico have been robbed of their farms by drug cartels who want the profits for the "super food" that American helicopter mom's want for their spoiled spawn. Hence, the cost. It's sad all around.

    ??? Where…is cha cha cha in the birthday song? I have literally never heard this. All I’ve heard (not even that recently but no one did it when I was a kid) is that “are ya ONE are ya TWO?” thing.

    I could've not seen you for ten years. "How are you?"; "okay"; "Done much since we last spoke?"; "Not really".
