“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.

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.”

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.

Not trying to be rude but I don't get what's bad about ALM. It's just saying all lives matter not just white not just black but all lives. Sorry if I've offended something but I just don't understand? Could someone please explain?

Tell it to black people.... in 2015, FBI data gathered under a black President, a black Attorney General and a black head of the FBI said that, of 2,664 (single victim/single offender) murders of black people, 2,380 (89.3%) of those murders were black people killing other black people.

Um, it's ALWAYS been the case that people who commit violent crimes commit them against people of their own race/ethnicity. White people commit more violent crimes against white people. Why aren't any of the "All Lives Matter" bitching about that?

Racist people want to blame the Blacks for the violence police thrust upon them. Wanting police held accountable for being racist is FAIR.

Yes but saying all police are racist isn’t fair. And when a crazy guy with a knife is running at a police officer And the man is shot or a man dies from a OD When they are in police custody it shouldn’t Be blamed on the cops. There bad cops, but almost all cops are good people.

When you say black lives matter you don't mean only black lives matter, but when you say cops are racist, I'm sure many of you apply that more than the truth allows.

unfortunately, BLM has been hijacked by Marxists. Check it out people. I am not saying that Black lives don't matter. I am saying that isn't it interesting how they are bussing agitators to each location to start trouble and keep the protestors angry enough to not be willing to be reasonable? How can we have a dialogue if there is only Screams of Rage and Unreasonable Violence towards everyone not involved in the rioting?

I'm sure you can provide proof that "agitators" are being bussed in, right? According to police departments in cities that have had any rioting, the vast majority of people arrested for violence, looting and setting fires were known street criminals using the protests as an opportunity to commit crimes and had no history with the BLM movement. They also report that they aren't seeing the massive Antifa violence this idiot presideht keeps blaming. What they ARE seeing is an infiltration of extreme rightwing,/white supremacist/nationalisr/militia groups who are instigating violence and property damage. The FBI and DHS have been tracking these groups online and sent a report to police departments across the country and to the DoJ warning of this. The Boogaloo idiots are the ones killing the police and other groups like the 3%'era, The Base, Identity Evropa, The Oath Keepers, National Vanguard among others are what the FBI and DHS call the biggest domesticterrorist threat to the US.

First off all lives matter is basically a slogan not really a ‘group’. Also I’d like to hear 1 thing black lives matter has accomplished? Besides causing over 700 officer casualties. Besides burning of buildings of all race peoples. And besides murdering people for doing nothing. What we need is for people to sit down like adults and have a nice conversation. We don’t need all of this rioting. And yes I know very well that most of the protests are actually protests. And we wouldn’t have kids in ice camps if people didn’t try to keep illegally coming into a country. And if you can name one gay person that has been killed in the last 2 months who ISNT related to BLM I would agree with you.

It's okay to acknowledge race as long as it's not done in a segregating manner. To pretend like race doesn't exist erases POC's history, pride and culture.

The Black Lives Matter movement is about the police and the justice system disproportionally killing and not giving justice to black people. The entire "black on black crime" rant from people like you attempts to downplay and dismiss the fact that while black people make up only 13% of the population they are 2-3 times more likely to be killed by the police than white people are in the exact same situations. And when a back person kills another black person, they are sought, arrested and jailed. Not so with the police. And last, people who commit violent crimes do so against people of their own race 90% of the time. So 'black on black crime" is no more of a "thing" than "white on white crime."

I don’t really see how me (A white man) who doesn’t support the BLM organization could be a white supremacist when I’m not the one burning down black businesses and calling black cops racist against their own race. It’s a fact many black cops join the police force because they’ve seen racism and want to stop it.

Great sentiment, and definitely true, but the BLM movement itself is making things worse for black people and the country as a whole. The words themselves are great and worth repeating. The actual movement itself is a different matter. (A person can be utterly against drunk driving, but yet be opposed to how MADD in some ways.)

Black-on-black violence only happens because they're around each other. If you look at the neighborhoods where this violence happens, it's all-black neighborhoods. If it was an all-white neighborhood, the same would be true. Just because there's black-on-black violence doesn't mean some police officers aren't murderers and racists. So yeah, truth matters. Get your facts first before you blow you're top on the internet.

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.
