“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.
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.
Ohh...I panic horribly and the ONLY thing that can break me out of this fluster, is the traffic light turning yellow, then I go...but slowly...I don't want the poor driver behind me to get hit by crossing traffic, so I make sure he's safely sitting at the now Red light ;)
Load More Replies...I only lightly tap my horn if I can plainly see the person in front of me isn’t paying attention at all. That’s what the horn is for; a light reminder. It is not for laying on and bullying.
Not sure why you got downvoted but same. I live in the UK and it doesn't seem such a big thing over here than what I've read happens in the US. It's not an angry beep and I show that in my expression so they can see in the mirror I'm not angry. I assume they're not doing it deliberately to ruin my day and if I'm late that's my issue and not theirs so why take it out on them? Assuming the best of other people can work wonders with my own attitude I swear! :)
Load More Replies...That happens probably because 1 out of 5 drivers don't pay attention - they are looking at their phones and won't move when the light turns green. I see at least one of these asshats at any given 5 km drive if there happens to be trafficlights.
”As soon as” implies that the driver honking isn't even waiting half a second.

After I got my driving license and started driving on my own, I would often mess up with the gear shifting and accidentally turn off my car at traffic lights. And idiots who honked immediatly after the light turned green didn't really help :'D
Still happens to me sometimes (especially when the traffic light is mid-hill ) and and I've been driving a manual transmission car for 18 years!
Load More Replies...Where are you?! Cause man in Melbourne people are beeping usually as the light turns green
Load More Replies...YES, They honked, I went forward , thank goodness oncomming traffic was watching!
People regularly run red lights. I'm not in favor of being T-boned so the a$$hole behind me gets to Starbucks 15 seconds faster.
I always look both ways at least twice in case some nut job blows the light
My car mysteriously stalls won't start again till the light turns red!!
Stop sitting there in the left turn lane (probably looking at your phone) until the green arrow turns yellow and you go but none of the people in line after you can go! If you don't move three secs after the light turns green, I'm honking!
If my husband gets honked at as soon as the light turns green he announces "I guess we're just gonna die here" and sits through at least 2 lights or until the person goes around him, unless there's a lot of traffic.
its the same when the traffic is a standstill and people are honking. its like shut the fk up they cant go anywhere!
As soon as? Here, people honking even 5 seconds before it turns to red.
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.
Oh Yes. You definitely have my vote on that one. Just don't send Corona
They are, actually. Most of my friends don't believe that COVID is a big deal. It's really sad.

Yes! Ceases to actually be 'background music' all too often. 😣
Load More Replies...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! :)
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.
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.
Stop preaching at other people, you self-righteous fop. Look in the mirror and start with yourself. .
Says the person that posted 3 comments in a topic about stupid signs she could have easily skipped...
Load More Replies...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.
