“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything,” states the description on Dude With Sign's Instagram account. And the guy means it.

He stands for free guacamole, more chips than air in the bag, making it illegal to charge $15 for a bowl of lettuce, or honking as soon as the light turns green, and these are just a handful of things Dude has been protesting for. Today, Dude has made himself into a sort of an icon of the professional peaceful protest league, with 7.3m avid followers cheering for his low-key micro demonstrations.

Armed with a board and a marker, Dude is back with some fresh signs for y’all to think about. Scroll down, upvote your favorites, and after you’re done, be sure to check out more of his funny posters in our previous part 1 and part 2.

    Back in 2019, Seth Philips and Elliot Tabele took to the streets of New York City’s SoHo neighborhood to hold up a cardboard sign with the message “Stop replying-all to company-wide emails.” The pic was meant for Tabele’s personal Instagram account, but as the followers grew, the duo decided to make a whole new page dedicated to their low-key protests, and that’s how @dudewithsign was created.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Seth told Forbes that they get the protest and sign ideas mainly from their work environment and coworkers. It turns out, office fun can be an endless source of inspiration for first-world problems.

    “When creating the protests, we try to come up with something funny that is relatable that people don't particularly talk about. We try to have each of these elements while appealing to every type of person, which is a big part of why I think the account has accumulated as many followers as it has.”

    Yeah, a lot of people think their opinions are equal or better than medical advice. (About 1/3 of America seems to be equivalent to toddlers screaming "I don't wanna" as they're told to eat a vegetable)

    I don't think he's outdoors for this one. Or maybe he's on his front porch or something. Usually his photos show that he's around crowds of people, but I think he's at home for this one. He's gotta keep posting content somehow, I suppose, even during the pandemic.

    Viruses, such as Covid-19 are NOT alive when they are outside the body of the human or animal that 'catches' them. So, the sun's rays can't kill them. It's only when the virus enters the cells of the 'host' body does it in effect become alive & it starts replicating and doing bad things in & to the person. [Google likens them to androids.]

    Here in the UK we going into 2nd lockdown. It was expected to happen so why did the government start easing up on the first lock down? Because companies were losing money which meant no taxes being paid. Money is more important than lives it seems.

    Yeah, more than have the population of our country despises him, but we've got a system called the electoral college. He's not MY president, he's a POS who exists solely to serve his own ego. So when you say "tell that to your president," you're lumping together all of us and assuming we are fond of him and proud. Quite the opposite. I'm unduly embarrassed he became and is our president and I'll remain steadfastly opposed. He's an incoherent, cretinous wanna-be dictator/fascist who only does and think what serves his own interests.

    Doesn't the 'nice weather' argument relate to global warming? (“how can global warming exist it I'm cold today??”) — or . . Please don't tell me we're reaching even a lower level of humanity now.

    ALM was a counter-movement created to silence Black Lives Matter, simply because a huge majority of people can't wrap their minds around a simple notion. Thank you for this sign, dude.

    The @dudewithsign page quickly grew past the initial 4m followers and now has a whopping 7.3m followers on Instagram, as well as 248.6K followers on Twitter. In January, Seth and his witty signs appeared on The Ellen Show, where they helped Ellen DeGeneres with her opening speech.

    Seth also told Forbes that at this point, he’s still trying to figure the future out. “Maybe continue making funny accounts? There are interesting opportunities that I would have never imagined coming my way with this all the time,” he said in the same interview.

    I actually do. Twice a day on office days. Because I commute. When working from home, not so much, not needed. But really, your phone hygiene is needed regardless of the pandemic. It helps keeping your skin clean.
