Dude Keeps Protesting Annoying Everyday Things With Funny Signs
“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.

hi Melbourne Australia here its $250 fine for not wearing a mask in public,unless you have medical exemption or are exercising/bike riding but you still need to have mask with you
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.”
Also: corona rules/ restrictions also works fir the flu, which normally kills thousands. Cant we just use our brains and keep people alive??
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.
You are welcome - that's our job. Just Keep on moving up.
Would be good for many reasons to have a 4 day work week... 10 hours x 4 days rather than 8 hours x 5 days. Staggered start and stop times would also improve traffic...
A better work/life balance for everyone would be just great all 'round
At this point why not lean into the impending economic slow down?
How about just a single day off every week for most of the world's working poor......
Get a real job and try to be a value to the employer thats pays you in return for your work, instead of standing in the street stating the obvious hoping for your 5 minutes of fame. No one's really made a contribution to society holding up a piece of battered cardboard.
Maybe a 4 day work week could work if you accept a 20% pay cut (and therefore pay less income taxes). In a scenario where everyone worked 4 days instead of 5 (at 80% of their current salary), then more people could be hired (so less unemployment).
Load More Replies...Watering 5 days worth of plant care in 4 days is very difficult; indoor tropical plants do not understand or recognize holidays. This one is a no go for me. Short weeks are HARD on some of us ~
Actually the IG Metall (metal workers union) demands this in Germany now. 30 hour weeks on 4 days per week....
I agree. I like my job, I don't mind working 5 days a week (and the perks that come with that) - but I would LOVE a three day weekend. A day between Saturday and Sunday. And then Sunday may be a rest day to all (ok.. apart from nurses, police, firedept, public transport and other emergency people - but like, no restaurants, no shops, just.. quiet. Visit friends, eat with each other)
Enough time to catch up with home jobs and have time for family.
It's been a while since I was in school, but my high school had 3 day weekends, which was awesome!
Long weekends every weekend! Long weekends every weekend! Long weekends every weekend! Long weekends every week...
Unfortunately, regarding working, I'm expecting it to be a new norm; companies will save a fortune not renting office space.
It always make me panic, so I need at least 20 seconds to recover before I can drive away.
Wednesday, no Sunday, hang on when did I shower last? Yes, that's it, It's definitely, most definitely Saturday.... is it still 2020?
My grandma just takes a million pics of fireworks instead of a video 😂😂😂
Good to remind myself of this. Especially when there are so many people displaced right now from the wildfires and hurricanes, plus the continuing problem of homelessness...
Or they can be very annoying. I've lost 50 lbs since Feb, and I hate those who post their daily WO and are constantly posting pics of themselves. I find it narcissisticI To each their own I guess
True. Let tiktok be tiktok so we don't get to see that rubbish on every website, including BP.
They are, actually. Most of my friends don't believe that COVID is a big deal. It's really sad.

Stop asking "thoughts" on instagram. If people have thoughts about the picture, they will write it. This is just begging for attention
Mine would be "Stop making the background music in movies so ****** loud!"
Yes! Ceases to actually be 'background music' all too often. 😣
What's the background music to your life?

I know right. Sometimes you can't even hear what the characters are saying.
😳 I actually bring earplugs to the cinema.
RIP RBG!
Amen.
I'll send you more cardboard cute sign dude. I'm a crazy recycling nut.

😂 One of my thoughts too!
Oh yas he does...

Stop asking yay or nay on instagram!
Today’s my birthday too!
I hope every one is good and happy birthday
i want more of this dude
I love this site!
This guy is hilarious... but does post the truth!! Thank you for sharing =)
This man just blows my mind. I don't know anything about him, actually yet I adore him. He makes sense in simple, old fashion marker and cardboard. Whoever you are....please consider running for president one day! :)
Your mind is way too easily 'blown'
Sadly, this one showed how many blatant, hateful racists read Bored Panda.
Stop sending chain mail. Stop doing photo challenge and tag your friend who is just laying in bed. Your friend doesn't want it and the world doesn't like it.
Meh...
don´t give up your dreams!
Happy late b day
I am downvoting because there were 2 pics (I have seen only 30) where he is wearing no mask close to other people with quotes about COVID... He doesn't actually care about things he writes on cartboards.
Love to see more of the Guy with the signs, their funny!!!😅
Yes, THEY'RE funny.
I absolutely love his printing!
Love these... keep on doing it man!!
Decent penmanship
This guy is an idiot.
Abinico Arts Good response!

What about "stop with those stupid signs" ?
Says the person that posted 3 comments in a topic about stupid signs she could have easily skipped...
At least she's not as dumb as Victoria Swift and her 'look at how clever I am for not wearing a mask properly' pathetic comment. 🙄

Do people realize that not wearing a mask over your nose is the protest? If you didn't, consider yourself officially clued in. I'm a pretty non apologetic non mask wearer, we purposely find ways to wear a mask in such a way that it complies with mandates, but can still piss off all the Karen's in the world. There are tons of us in social media groups who just would love to have a Karen meltdown we can capture in video.
How very ignorant and petty of you. I am no fan of the Karen name-calling but the 'non-mask wearers' are complete and utter Karens. Pretty dim of you to not realise that.
IKR? What a pillock.
FFS - of course people know that's the protest. We just think you're dim-witted. What a Karen. 'Tons of us in social media groups' - proving that all the rubbish collects together at the bottom.
Why oh why do there have to be such fools? Even if it did no good, why do you want to worry people? How very unpleasant and unnecessary of you. At worst you could be doing harm. Selfish, selfish, selfish. Rosie, I do like the comment 'all rubbish collects together at the bottom' How very apt. Go boil your head Victoria - it could only improve the contents.
