50 Times “Dude With Sign” Did Everyone A Public Service And Protested Everyday Annoying Things (New Pics)
What do you think is the best way to get your message across when you’re passionate about something? Are you more of a “shout it from the rooftops” person, or would you rather stand on a street corner silently protesting?
One man who’s made it abundantly clear that audiences can still hear you even if you never open your mouth is Dude With Sign. He’s made a name for himself by being brave enough to stand on the streets of New York holding up cardboard signs that say what we’re all thinking: bread in restaurants should be free! How are there so many podcasts? Stop watching TikToks at full volume in public!
Enjoy scrolling through some of Seth’s most clever signs calling out everyday annoyances, and be sure to upvote the messages you’d be willing to stand on the street promoting.

But he's the real thing. And without silly dances or eating Tide pods
Load More Replies...Maybe I'm too cynical - but get a life, dude. Doesn't he work? What's his resume say? Human Bumper Sticker?
Load More Replies...Strongly agree! And it's dangerous on your end if it's me. :D
Due to my security job i purchased a pepper gun since its been dangerous around where i live and some "influancer" came out of nowhere, climbed the back gate at my work and as soon as i saw him and his camera guy trespassing on our property i shoot them and called it in, they were taken away and it was trespassing at a federally monitored site. I'm not having anything to do with those a******s.
Load More Replies...If you jump out to scare me, I absolutely will punch you in the face thinking you're attacking me.
And then getting offended when they get mad or come after you for pranking them. You prank, you pay.
I enjoy a good prank. However, I am not responsible for any automatic reflex actions. Just saying.
The only acceptable pranks are the ones in which you do something completely harmful that can only make people laugh and you ONLY post it if they give you their approval. Such as having a stupid conversation on a call in which you say the most ridiculous things. Honestly things like that can make people's day. So: pranks are only acceptable when they're harmless and should only be posted on the internet if people consented with having their image published
I'm sorry I wrote "something completely harmful" in the beginning LOL my mind went some other place while writing that apparently 💀
Load More Replies...Exactly. Nobody wants to hear about how badly your life sucks or how inane your conversation is.
Stop talking on speaker phone at all. If you can't hear the call, go get your hearing checked. I can't understand you because your mouth is too far from the mic. All I'm hearing is the echo of my own voice. Speaker phone sucks.
I can't afford a specialized phone. And insurance doesn't pay for hearing aids. You'll just have to deal with it 🤗
Load More Replies...Hey I just made a comment on this in the above post :D. Where I work, when people sitting together talking, it's at a polite tone. Usually. People with their phone on speaker have it full volume and are talking to Chewbacca
Stop VIDEO calls in public!! I don't want to hear the call and sure as heck do not want to see your friend as you stroll around oblivious of everyone and everything around you. AND do not let your child video call in the market, no one, repeat, no one wants to hear/see that. Maybe stop giving the child a phone in a store, and teach them to be engaged.
Well… Okay, I’m a deaf person with Cochlear Implants. I hate using speaker phone in public and I rarely ever do it because I don’t want people knowing my business or hearing my conversation. I’ve worked a way around this, by using Bluetooth (my CIs are basically Air Pods when I listen to music and I can do the same with phone calls.) But if for some reason my Bluetooth messed up (it has a couple times before, I figured out the reason why, but who’s to say it won’t happen again), then I will literally be forced to use speaker to take a call because I can’t hear it any other way. Putting the phone up to my CIs does not help. So I’m sure it’s annoying for the most part, but I think certain people should be granted exceptions. (And again, I never ever use speaker phone if I can help it, but I used to have to. I got upgraded versions a few years ago.)
YES! I don't want to hear your issues, nor do I want to hear the fowl language.
Squawk! Cluck cluck. Quack.
Load More Replies...Always been a pet peeve but now my telephone plays through my hearing aids, it's wonderful not to have to hold the device. However I do attempt step aside and away from others when I get a call !
Dude With Sign has been a staple on Instagram for years now. The concept of the account is simple, but it resonates with millions around the globe. The page has amassed an impressive 8 million followers, despite sharing only 388 images. The signs are often complaints about small, petty annoyances such as people bragging about listening to their favorite musicians before they were big or bosses scheduling meetings for things that could have been explained in an email. But one thing’s for sure: followers love them.
The man behind Dude With Sign, who’s always seen wearing sunglasses, is Seth Phillips, a native Texan and now New York local who had no idea this page would ever reach so much success. According to an interview Seth did with Forbes in 2020, the account had very humble beginnings, as the first couple of posts were only created to go on Jerry Media founder Elliot Tebele’s Instagram account. After these pics went viral, however, the men quickly realized they were onto something.
Me, while listening to the recording telling me how much they realise my time is valuable. Really? Then answer the f**king phone!!!
I have found that if I say HUMAN, I finally get connected to a representative. Thank you, Sign Guy!!!!!
Pressing 0#0#0# usually skips all menus and connects you directly to the next available representative. I've found it effective ~95% of the time :)
This should be a norm. I HATE that everything has gone automated. Just have someone pick up the phone like the "old days".
I feel bad for the guy who writes and plays that music trying to get a date. "So, what do you do for a living?" "Well, have you ever had a question about your utility bill?'
I prolly wouldn't say 'fucxxxx' but JUST LET ME TALK TO A REAL PERSON!
We also don't want to hear your conversation with someone else on speaker phone.
My mom watches Instagram videos at full volume all the time. I don't think she knows TikTok is out there - thankfully!
Eat a bowl of syphilitic d***s. Halloween is awesome!
Load More Replies...I misread that as babies and now I’m imagining something very strange
My sister is going to a ball, where she has to dress up and is annoyed that someone wants her group to dress as Barbie movie characters.
I live in the country on a lake. No children except for visitors. I haven't gotten a trick or treater in 25 years.
The end is coming! take out the environmental lawyers! (not that way.) Prepare the recycling bins!
I was with you until the parentheses.
Load More Replies...Dude With Sign amassed a whopping 4 million followers over the course of only 4 months after it was created, making Seth somewhat famous seemingly overnight. He told Forbes that suddenly the corners he would stand at with signs started filling up within minutes with lots of fans who had their phones out snapping photos.
“When I'm finished, a lot of people will ask to take pictures with me or videos, which is still something to get used to,” Seth shared. “It's a very strange feeling, but it also kind of cracks me up that people are seeing me as a famous person for holding up cardboard signs.”
They'll invent a tax or something. If you don't have money you can "donate" a kidney. The rich need spare parts.
Load More Replies...Got skipped over many times for interviews (for teaching positions) because I did not have any experience, or too little experience. It took several years of part-time work just to get a shot at an interview. I thought that was the norm: you "pay your dues" for a few years before you'll even be considered for a full time position. But now I have served on several hiring committees, and I have learned that people with no prior teaching experience are hired all the time "if they interview well". It seems like such a crapshoot, honestly.
A previous job I had, I lied :). Was there for 7 years till I quit for a better job!
Exactly! I remember saying this on my fourth attempt! However, after saying this, they gave me a job.
"Nothing's Impossible For The Person Who Doesn't Have To Do The Work!"
well he does have a talent for holding up signs, I must say. That is experience.
Starving and high as Snoop, I bought $140 of pure junk food at the grocery store—well over 2 week’s allowance. One trip. Chocolate and chips and so much c**p. So much. Life is like that in your 20’s. Lesson learned.
Absolute truth. I have made this mistake too may time...how did I get all those cans of corn??
As far as where the ideas for Dude With Sign’s new pics come from, Seth shared that his colleagues are a major help. “We work in a pretty funny and creative space so once the account kicked off, more ideas came in from the team,” he told Forbes. “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.”
You can't leave anywhere without making a big song and dance about it. Then you stay there for ages in the hope that someone tells you how much they'll miss you. Then you leave, quietly, and come back a day later.
I can neither sing nor dance.
Load More Replies...No one is going to notice anyway. They are all there for the dopamine boost from having anyone interact with their own post.
I just closed my FB account one day. All the "unfriending"/blocking nonsense reminded me of middle school. I didn't like middle school.
I will not go quietly into that good night. Nor will I go gently. I'll go bleeding when the cats finally give up on me and decide to hire a new soft can-opener.
Load More Replies...I’ve never had any of those social media accounts, they sound horrible. BP is as close as I get to offering my opinion and “socializing” with strangers. BP is relatively tame, we seem to monitor ourselves regarding social etiquette - for the most part. I just choose not to read BP posts that have to do with toxic subjects - why spend time reading posts about how nasty people can be? Garbage in, garbage out.
I like to alert some people that I'm leaving before hand so they don't think I'm ghosting them and s**t
I'm unable to walk or roll the two miles to the nearest restaurant. I can barely walk or roll through two rooms. I always tip $4.
Load More Replies...Sorry disagree sign guy. Deliveries cost drivers money too, car maintenance, gas, etc. Plus delivery drivers have bills to pay, too.
You’re talking about tips. He’s talking about the fees that go to the company, not the driver. He’s also not saying there shouldn’t be a fee. Just that it shouldn’t be as crazy high as it is.
Load More Replies...Not everyone has that ability. And many of us who do, *are* choosing to get it ourselves. I can complain about the fees, and not use the service at the same time. If they didn’t charge so much, I’d do delivery. But they do, so I don’t. (And I’m talking about the high fees, not tips. Drivers deserve to be tipped.)
Load More Replies...Get off your lazy a*s and get it yourself or stop complaining about it
When I can walk again I will, but till then delivery is how I survive. But I also live in a country with a minimum wage
Load More Replies...You can not trust me to make cookies because I will eat a lot of the cookie dough, last time I made cookies I ate like three or four cookies worth of cookie dough
I would love to hear proof that raw cookie dough makes you sick, never once have I gotten sick from it and I'm 37 years old.
Whenever me and my friend make cookie dough she’ll literally pull out a spoon and start eating it. Raw. And then we barely have any left over to make actual cookies 😭
We called it "cookie pudding" when we'd snitch it from Mom's bowl.
Seth has even seen so much success from Dude With Sign that he’s been able to meet Ellen DeGeneres and President Joe Biden. He told Forbes that he wasn’t sure what the future holds, but he’s enjoying the experience of it all. “There are interesting opportunities that I would have never imagined coming my way with this all the time,” Seth shared. “Right now I’m kind of just riding the wave, dipping my toes in different things. Ellen, for example, was something cool that got me really interested in how television works. I’m just learning, doing my best, and meeting awesome people and I’m confident something awesome will come my way.”
Me who was researching school sh00ting/sh00ters for a school project:
I got caught shoplifting from Burdine's as a 13 year old and went through pre-trial intervention so I wouldn't get a record - I had to do 32 hours of community service as punishment and somehow my mom got me a gig with the Public Defender's office. First day, the first few hours I just stapled papers and organized stuff until the boss man said "you seem like you're capable of a lot more than this...tell you what, our receptionist is on leave so how about you try that out? Rita will show you how it all works and train you on rounds" (*which was going to the courthouse, jail, between all the different law offices, & post office to collect/drop off paperwork & mail). I wound up getting hired as a state employee there after those 32 hours, at 13! But I'd spend my lunch break in the legal library and I'll never forget picking up the tiny black serial killer book they had in there...I don't know why it piqued my fancy but it did! And that desire to study them has stuck with me my whole life.
I was going to offer an insightful & affirming/supportive reply, but I’m gonna come back and do that next month.
Load More Replies...My golden rule is that 15 minutes is acceptable (punctuality is better, though). Beyond that, I'm out. My ex and all his friends were exactly those kind of poeple who see no problem showing up an hour later than the initially agreed time...
cut into slices, add oil, vinegar, parsley, onion slices (red if possible), small diced garlic, salt and pepper. Bon appétit ! ^-^
Load More Replies...Isn't that kinda the whole point of the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Throwing stuff at the stage?
I think they're talking about the idiot who threw his phone at a woman on stage singing a song. Among other incidents. Expected audience participation is different.
Load More Replies...Seth’s signs also sometimes hit heavier topics than simple office drama or annoyances you encounter while walking down the street. In 2021, Dude With Sign got to visit the White House and promote COVID-19 vaccines with none other than President Joe Biden. Seth held up a sign stating, “Let’s Look Out For Each Other And Get Vaccinated.” And Joe stood proudly next to him with a wholesome sign stating, “This Dude Gets It, Folks.”
I don't have a podcast and I listen to podcasts. Now what?
Load More Replies...Good question! I've never listened to one in my life. I'm more of a reader.
Me? Podcasts are rad. I follow podcasters more than YouTube creators ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ fyi: it's like a radio program, but with no ads and only contains the content you're there for. Some are audio dramas! Most of his signs point out annoying problems, so who's getting forcefed podcasts?? This is a v Karen take.
Yes! No judgement here... we just hungry :]
Load More Replies...Write it down, always. Then the server has proof that you ordered your eggs scrambled, not fried.
trust me, I don't want to memorize it either. I often get it wrong when I try to do that. But sometimes I have to if my computer is down. They frown upon us writing things down for some reason. Really stupid.
What? Is this a thing? Where?? I expect a waiter to write everything down
Load More Replies...Some restaurants require servers to not use an order pad; they don't have a choice. I've been in places like this and it's very disconcerting because you expect that they'll forget something.
Nah, even at fast food places they get things wrong. I need them to tell me what they have so I know what they tuned out, or pretended not to hear.
Restaurant owners, we don't want servers to have to memorize orders. Neither do the cooks.
In the UK. Much like the whole world isn’t the U.S., it isn’t all the U.K., either.
Load More Replies...Bi-weekly = every other week, twi-weekly = twice per week [edited for typo]
For real? Is twi-weekly a real word….. if so I’m shocked. If not, good joke because you got me good lol. Twice a week is definitely a term but I have no idea about that shortened version.
Load More Replies...bi-weekly = every two weeks. semi-weekly = twice a week
As far as how Seth manages to get the perfect shots of him with his signs for social media, he told Daquan, “I used to only stand out there for a few minutes just to get the picture, but now I'm out there for way longer... I end up staying out there for a couple of hours, trying to be nice and take pictures with everyone who asks."
I believe you can literally buy New York Times bestsellers points. And too many movie executives think Rotten Tomatoes are actual film critics (No, they are not).
Load More Replies...just like home and car insurance. "save $700 with liberty mutual" like b***h no you dont and everyone knows it
But it must be done by kids under 5. Only they have small enough fingers to find an almond's tiny udders.
Load More Replies...Oh believe me you don't want to know. There's a whole farm out there with a bunch of men in stalls hooked up the machines. It's crazy
No, they have those tubes that connect to the u know what. /s /j (don't downvote. It is just a joke)
Load More Replies...No, seriously how do they actually make milk out of nuts and oats?
Soak the nuts in water for 24 hours, then remove the nuts. The liquid that remains is then called 'milk'. As for oat milk, I'm not sure.
Load More Replies...My dad loves the cats he didn’t want too!
Load More Replies...my dad is the BIGGEST softie to my cat pinstripes. he pushes food to the edge of his plate and lets her eat with him
Today, the Dude With Sign account appears to have become quite lucrative as well. Seth has shared sponsored posts for Old Spice, Subway, Vita Coco, Wing Stop, Charmin and more. He even collaborated with Justin Bieber, urging Justin to shave his mustache, to which Justin replied, “No.”
"I think the craziest thing I'm still wrapping my head around is that Rihanna follows the account," Seth shared. "I actually got to DM her, and she mentioned having ideas for some of the protests.”
I love it! We get home and I take the suitcase through to the laundry, and start the first load of washing. Then the suitcase is taken upstairs, emptied and stored under the bed. .... The only time this doesn't happen is if we get home after 10pm.
Saaaame lol. I mean I don’t love it, but if I don’t do it right away, it tends to stick around unpacked for the next 2 months.
Load More Replies...I always take the day after vacation off. It's my decompression, unpack, get back to real life day.
Yep, it’s been one month since I got back from vacation and I’ve still got stuff in my suitcase
Unpack? Muh fugga I barely take anything out of the car the first day.
Depends on the flight and time I get home. My last flight was from Canada back to Perth via Singapore. Taxi from the airport, I was home just after midnight. Flopped into bed within minutes but did unpack the 'same day' after a good nights sleep :).
So true plus it's always great when you go on vacation next year your bags are already packed
In case anyone else was wondering: “An Irish exit is when you leave a social situation (a party or larger gathering, for example) without saying goodbye to your host or to other guests.”
Yes please!!!! For those of us with social anxiety, we’d rather not do the whole long drawn out goodbye thing
My husband did that at a halloween party and I was so embarrassed. I told him we would never be invited back. He said, 'That's the point."
Never knew what that meant but I've done that a million times. The party sucks the people suck you just leave
That’s literally what me and my brother do
Load More Replies...I cannot describe the anger that fills my mind when I’m charging one of my devices that’s at 1% and someone shows up and says that theirs is at -27% and expect me to hand it over
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person being in possession of a nearly-dead phone must be in want of charger juice.
We each have chargers all over the house. But there’s only one charger on the sofa. So whoever has the lowest battery has dibs on the sofa charger. The other person can go find their own and plug it into the extension cord on the sofa
While Seth’s account is mostly spreading silly messages, he has also used the page to address social issues, promoting the Black Lives Matter movement and access to abortion. But he wants to remind followers that even he has no idea where the future of the account will go. “At the end of the day, I'm just a regular dude holding [freaking] cardboard, and it's just an Instagram account." But we thank him for his service (and public service announcements), and I’m sure he won’t run out of ideas for signs any time soon.
I go visit my only remaining grandma every friday and I talked to her just this morning. XD
Please do this. I was lucky to have seventeen wonderful years with my grandmother. I miss her everyday.
I hate pride flags ... I'm supportive and have several flags of my own... That's the non binary flag, correct? Also I just talked to my grandma.. I bought an entire cake for her. It's her deathday. I also ate at Olive garden, her fav restaurant... during this I saw several spirits.
Load More Replies...Gonna have to break out the Ouija board for this one.
Nope. There is a huge difference between a 12 month old, an 18, and a 24 month/2 year old. These are useful distinctions.
You can use months up until they turn 2. After that it's dumb. But I disagree with this sign - a 1 year old is developmentally quite different from an 18 month old!
Measuring in months makes more sense insofar as developmental guidelines, but once your child is a couple years old, you should stop. No one's "baby" is 48 months old.
So much happens in the first 2 years that I think months are valid up until then. But after that you can only do full and half years.
Those are the same people that stop liking an artist because they got big. It's just stupid imho.
It's like people getting their noses out of joint because there was a Metallica resurgence after Stranger Things...welcome to the gang young ones

I don't visit fast food places very often but when I do, I request 'No ice' in the soda drink. I then get 2 x as much actual drink !
I disagree. I like a martini with a bit of lemon
Load More Replies...Any drink doesn't need a lot of ice. If soda, lemonade, etc I have no ice. It's just water. I want more of the drunk than water.
nor should any drink be. had a lemonade that had only one ounce of drink in it.
except the nap-atizer is at olive garden and then you’ve eaten far too many breadsticks to enjoy the meal
Load More Replies...Just happened to me yesterday. I had to get up early to run errands and around 3pm I was watching TV on my couch. I felt myself being tired, but I didn't realize I was me waking up 45 minutes later with my remote in my hand tired! Couch was like "I got you fam"
I fall asleep on the floor. My cat, Rat Rat, will come up and lay on my hip since I sleep on my side. It's tradition at this point.
I'm moving to Portugal. 1/3rd the rent of any major city in Canada. ¼ rent from Vancouver or Toronto.
My 2 nieces just left Paris are now in Ibiza. To answer your question, I do not know.
Try tell those of us outside the first world. A burger in the EU at like 7-9 EU is literally like food for a family here.
It's almost mid-September and we will still be at 115 this weekend. Enough already!! (I live in Phoenix)
I was about to ask if your in the Phoenix area. Sending ❄️ thoughts your way.
Load More Replies...Big oak tree shielding house from eastern side of the house. Solar panels taking take the brunt on the western end. New watertight roof with architecture shingles and a well insulated attick. Yeah, it cost us an arm and a leg (except for the tree) but we sticking it to the power company while doing some good for the environment 😉. But seriously the house is over 30 yrs old, so it needed a new roof anyway. We keep the AC around 74 degree F and the AC only goes of for two or three hours in Florida's afternoon heat.
And at least have an idea of what you're having before you get there? Standing with the bartender for 10 minutes (or more) trying to make up your mind on what to have is just rude.
The guy smoking a joint in front of him makes this picture even more hilarious. 😂
But but I just mastered the art of "looking" like I'm being productive...
The words Productive and Friday just don’t go together. It’s the law of life.
When you work 6 days a week, 2 jobs, and both are open 7 days a week...kinda hard not to.
Or add an intermission... you know, like in the old days when there was a B grade movie; intermission; then the feature film.
Intermissions are such a relief for everyone's bladder...
Load More Replies...Thank you!!!!! I haven’t seen the new Avatar movie but heard that is brutal with repetitive scenes and loose plot lines. Like the production focused more on the production than the storyline. Do correct me if I’m wrong. I’m still on the fence about watching it. Your feedback can make a difference :-)
Wrong. Make that bastard long. I'll be damned if I leave the house, drive somewhere with ...ergh...people and pay an exorbitant amount to see 90 minutes of entertainment. You gotta amortise that cost minute by minute!
Welp, this made me realize I just left my best portable charger with my best friend who I likely won't see again for a month.
Love the look on people's face when I pull my powerbank out with a multi charger cable, I imagine it's how they'd look if somebody offered them a bottle of cold water in the Sahara lol
Watch LIONESS on Paramount+ (you can get a free trial of Paramount+ right now); LIONESS: Season 1's first episode is amazing; then Ep2 will HOOK you and Ep 8 (final Ep of Season 1) will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Come back here and thank me.

I have never been charged for bread in the Mediterraean and they'd better not start trying to charge.
I think it's more that at a lot of American restaurants you aren't asked if you want the bread, it is just automatically brought to the table. Most restaurants don't charge for it, but there are others who serve it without asking and then charge you.
Load More Replies...I worked at a restaurant that DIDN'T serve bread...we had to charge whenever peeps asked for some & I felt so bad... like dude this is free EVERYwhere else??? But at the same time we weren't like a 4 or 5 star place, it was a gastro pub that sold $15 burgers, it would almost be weird if we served bread
I read this immediately after the portable chargers one and for a second thought it was about charging bread like you'd charge a phone.
Most US restaurants include it free before the meal. It's a standard expectation. No one is being entitled about it when almost every restaurant does it.
Load More Replies...They have real sugar. Corporate America likes cheaply massed production of corn syrup
They are the best cokes this side of heaven. I know they use cane sugar, but I don’t know what else they do to the recipe that make them so great.
That's what I first thought he meant because of the "hit"
Load More Replies...Cane sugar and a glass bottle! No plastic or aluminum aftertaste. Also the smooth roundness of the bottle against your lips feels right- don't get crude.
Again, no. The two are not the same thing, A person can fail to respond, even whilst caring very deeply about the person they aren't responding to.
And on the reverse. Some people are great at timely responses, yet truly don’t give a flying fruitloop.
Load More Replies...Not true! I have ADHD so I’ll see a text and then another notification pops up so I’m like oh I need to do that first and the I forget about the first thing because my short term memory is like that and then I get social anxiety cuz I’ve waited too long to respond and then it’s too awkward to respond now and they’re gonna hate me cuz they’re gonna think this (that I don’t care) when in fact I do very much care but I struggle at remembering things
EXACTLY!! I just responded to a comment about going through this agony daily .. with my ADD.. i sometimes cry in panic because these type of things are so very important to me .. to get back .. i value them so much in my life.. I dont feel so alone in this now... thank you for sharing It
Load More Replies...nah that's ableist talk. ppl have legit brain disorders dude and we're all trying. cut everyone some slack.
Just no. My best friend is one of the people I care the most for in the world. I would go through hell and back for him. I still ghosted him for months when I was at the very bottom of my depression.
I understand this. I wouldn't even say you "ghosted" him, because that implies some sort of active choice on your part. Depression doesn't work that way, especially when it hits hard.
Load More Replies...Don't agree. Unless it's just a one-liner, I like to take my time to think about how the person is feeling and why they wrote what they did, think of good advice and write a proper response. But I have kids and while I'm thinking about all that, I might have to go and change a nappy, make the dinner, clean up a sudden spillage, or you know, do my job.
I can’t even see the screen when I sit in the front row… “hm yes these shoes are very interesting.”
Never again. I was forced once to do front row for "Insomnia". Awesome movie but my neck hurt so badly.
As a projectionist for over 25 years, watching a movie from 30 feet up and between 85 to 135 feet away... when I got to the movies I literally would sit in the back row on the back of the seat!! Sitting anywhere closer than just south of center was impossible for me.
Well the first row isn't really a win when in cinema so... true, I guess.
fr the "i'll do it later" feeling. then its 7 years later and your like WHOOPSIE DAISY
Load More Replies...No, we're not. We're protesting against people who haven't learned which form of communication to use for which information. Email: the recipient needs a written copy of this information, and it's too long to text. Call: the issue is complicated enough that explaining it via text would be cumbersome, but a written copy isn't needed. Text: everything else.
Or they’re a doctor and get like a thousand emails a day, like my dad
I'm a psycho then. Lol. Had over 23k emails in my account (a lot of which were unread) and I somehow managed to delete them. Oh well. If it's important they'll email me back.
We never had that as our school (and most in the area) had a uniform. We didn't even but new uniform every year, only if we grew out of the previous uniform.
Same for me (except I’d rather not have uniforms since they don’t have gender-neutral options at my school)
Load More Replies...I miss it as a kid but I don't miss it as a parent. At least I was on to the school list. Since have so much stationary at home already, shopping was done going through the drawers and just making sure she had enough supplies to last through the semester. If she needed anymore supplies she could take them with her in the morning. When I was in school my mom did the whole shebang every year. I'd end up with a trash bag of broken c**p and used paper I didn't need anymore. In my daughters years she had everything in her binder and backpack. Most of it still good to use for the next year.
I miss back-to-college shopping! I was always so excited to pack up and get back to campus. It's been over 25 years now but still every August I get nostalgic for my Walmart trip with my best friend. :)
Not for clothes, for pens and pencils, markers, brand new notebooks, etc.
Back to school shopping at Officeworks was the only good part of school. Probably why I still have a thing about needing all of the stationery, and can't be trusted in an Officeworks.
Load More Replies...Not me! I haaated all the "back to school" ads. Just reminded me that I had to go back to school!
I miss opening the new packs of coloured pencils, crayons, watercolours...
I don’t understand sparkling water. It’s barely flavored! It’s like they just dipped an orange in there for half a second or wafted the scent of a lemon into the drink, then they put bubbles in it.
You can add flavour and fruit to it. Love it with fresh sliced lemons.
Load More Replies...Well I reckon you can find a better cohort of people to distrust than those who prefer fizzy water over still
What the difference between fizzy water and sparkling water?
Load More Replies...Not all sparkling water is carbonated. Some natural mineral water is sparkling and doesn't require carbonation.
Load More Replies...Nope. Amount of icecream in a cone is less than in in a cup. I've been working there.
quality over quantity. you're arguing something he didn't mention...... he never said you get more, he said it's better.
Load More Replies...All these people who are complaining about melting ice-cream are eating their ice-cream way tooooooooooooooooo slow. I have never had a drop of ice-cream fell on my hand while I eat ice-cream from a cone. I mean I am not just eating/stuffing it down my face, I am enjoying, savoring, every bite/lick of it.
Well... yeah. The cone is literally there only to hold the delicious ice cream. XD
Cone is easier with kids because you have a hand free, however cup is better when you've had kids and are half-heartedly trying to lose the baby weight!
Lucky you I guess. Summer is still going strong where I am and I hate this hot weather
Same, a bunch of kids in my school literally passed out from heat exhaustion a few days ago EDIT: what the heck there was just a hailstorm a few hours ago? It’s literally like 90 degrees how-
Load More Replies...Meanwhile we're in record breaking heatwaves across the US.
TF is he talking about? Where I live, there were 1 or 2 weeks where it coolled off and rained (thank God), but otherwise, it was hot as hell (for our standards)! And now it's September, and it got hot again! When will it finally be fall...? T_T
I did, two actually! I was on a 4 week trip and finished the two books I bought. Then I bought another three while I was there and finished both, one entirely on the flight home.
THAT IS THEE TIME TO READ THE BOOK! Food, sex, book. drinks and honeybun lying next to me...
Load More Replies...I bought the game of thrones box set for the plane and I read them all.
Bro I read a book a day ofc I'm gonna read it. Heck I'm gonna read all 4.
I WISH this wasn’t true… never have I even taken that book out of my luggage 😭
Maybe I'm missing the point of this one. I'm sure Canada would prefer NOT being on fire. They didn't choose to send the smoke to New York just to annoy anyone.
Seems like a s****y statement to make while your neighbor's home is burning.
Photoshop out the people and cars in the background and you kind of have a post-apocalyptic-looking scene!
That’s the point it’s smoke from Canadian wild fires
Load More Replies...Government refusing to acknowledge climate change WTF. Or should I say government being paid off by companies who profit off being unregulated and fossil fuel usage WTF.
Those fires, like most wildfires, were man-produced; carelessness, or poor land management.
Load More Replies...Pathetic. It's not their fault. My best friend lives in Canada, not long ago, she could actually see the fire from her house. She was terrified. Thank God she's okay... But the smoke won't end. Called her yesterday and she kept coughing because of the smoke.
When California was on fire, Canada got it bad, so it's just payback.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's about the smoke. Canada was on fire this summer and at one point the smoke blew down into the States.
Load More Replies...If you don't like them, good for you, but some of us love them on our pizza.
olive + chicken + cheese on a pizza is the best combo imo
Load More Replies...You tell people in case you have a heart attack and need people to know where to find the body if you don't show up for a few days.
Maybe most people who cold plunge don't tell people but we just don't know? Maybe you're the only person not doing it /j
No way! Maybe $300 for top of the line, but not that much
Load More Replies...Reminds me of my best friend/workout partner. She leg presses twice my goddamned bodyweight. Absolute beast, with more than enough brains to back up her brawn!
Load More Replies...Actually, the only active thing at my entire highschool was... Pickleball. Very odd...
I have to send this to my math teacher. He literally invited a pickle ball paddle manufacturer for a lecture.
I feel like when either the bread is soft or the meat is cold it makes the sandwich taste weird
Of course I want my sandwich microwaved. I WANT it to be soft and soaked with molten cheese, what's not to like? If I wanted to eat a crusty, sharp-edged cylinder, I could make one in my own oven.
Our you could just get your sandwhich from a good deli/sammich shope
Went to see the first lotr with my bf at the time we didn't know he was narcoleptic then. He fell asleep but he also snores really bad.one scene was really quiet and he was so loud. I was quite embarrassed. Also kinda sad as he was so excited for those movies and it took him 10 years to get through a whole one
Load More Replies...I'm on anti depressants so I can be upto watching movie but fall asleep I get tired easily
Well... at home it's fine. At cinema... it might be a bit overboard. XD
It depends on size of property, size of housekeeping dept and how you stagger arrivals/departures. We have a suggested check-out time, but no penalties for staying late. We gently nudge our checkouts and if we don’t have a room available, we literally wine & dine our guests while they wait to go to their room. We’re a smaller boutique type resort with concierge and butler service for all our guests. We can usually kill enough time with check-in cocktails & hors d’oeuvres that they never know we were turning their room.
Did this at panda express the other day. "Hey can I get blah blah blah" and moved up while the guy was assembling it because I felt weird just staring at him. Then wondered if that was the right move, because I've worked in retail too long and know that sometimes when a customer moves up, the next person in line assumes it's now Their Turn when the employee is in fact still busy. They gave me a 10% discount (didn't say anything, but it was marked on the box and receipt), so I guess it was the right call.
They should be sorry for messing up my sacred sandwich I had since I was 12...
Espresso Martinis? WTF is that? Gin and vermouth in really strong coffee?
not even! barista'd most of my working life, once at a shop that turned into a martini bar at night. these were super popular... not a "true" martini, no gin to be found - usually made with vodka, coffee liqueur, and a shot of espresso
Load More Replies...A drink you drink after taking a shot to avoid tasting the alcohol
Load More Replies...No, but if you don't need it, why drink it? I take shots all the time w/o a chaser. Not b/c I think "it makes me look cool", I just don't want/need one.
There are people who seriously take FOMO like a religion. (FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out) They think if you don't try new things, you are suffering, because you could not possibly enjoy something more than once.
Load More Replies...Why on Earth would you care? I like meatball subs. Let me have some dåmn joy in my life, ffs.
But all the others taste like s**t.... also i avoid buying sandwiches and actually good stuff.
No way, Hosea. I like my sandwich. Six inch, multigrain, cold cut, American cheese, not toasted, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green peppers, pickles, no sauce. Every day for lunch. Subway workers see me coming and start making my sandwich 😆
Because some people aren't drinking to get drunk. Some people just want a little buzz to lubricate the social machinery. Here in Ireland, shots are always measured so you know how many units of alcohol you have consumed, because - contrary to American beliefs - we are not a nation of alcoholics. We like to drink, but most of us are not trying to get hammered.
Load More Replies...Dude, when I get a B-52, I always want them to pour me a big one. I technically wish they'd make it even bigger, but that would cost more, so... XD
Thank you, Seth. I need a sign that says "people who hold up signs shouldn't be so damn handsome".
I don’t care if you’re a vegan atheist crossfitter. I’m just trying to walk my dog in peace.
I think he steals it from homeless people :) I hope he's recycling it all.
Load More Replies...This guy is funny! He had one sign that said something along the lines of “Yes Grandma I’m Still Single”.
For a guy that seems to dislike attention seekers, he's got an awful lot of pictures of himself.
Not everyone takes pictures of themselves for attention. Some people do it to record memories or in his case probably to entertain people. Yk make some people laugh or smile - not everything everyone does is selfish
Load More Replies...It seems that in the pictures with the same background, he wore the same clothes. It makes me wonder if he has multiple signs, taking pictures one after the other, or simply an empty one that they took pictures of in multiple angles and filled them in later with Photoshop.
