“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.

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.

True! I always stop trailers at half. It‘s annoying when twists are revealed in the trailer.

Unfortunately, regarding working, I'm expecting it to be a new norm; companies will save a fortune not renting office space.

I wish BLM would also be concerned with the huge amount of blacks killed by black . Drive by shooting is the favorite.

I can't fathom how people are happy someone died. Good thing their perfect families have no drug addicts & noone who has committed a crime but @ least if you do we know ahead of time how happy & deserving of death they are by your logic

@Joseph Brzezinski and where did you get your information? If a dead body was found in her rented car, why wasn't she arrested immediately?

Saw someone named "GeorgeFloydDeservedIt" on slither.io. Disgusting. Wanted to kill them so bad. I don't know how people think that way.

LOL - BLM picks the worst martyrs! Floyd was bad. Jacob Blake, equally bad. But the worst of all time?....Mike Brown.

Was the black accountant who was in his own house but shot by a white police woman a criminal too? The boy on his way home from a store, Breonna Taylor in her bed. Who did she ever ofrend? U all look for excuse to maltreat blacks in your country and the whole world has taken note. Please don't ever think you can condemn Adolf Hitler.

So the US cops have a right to kill everyone with a criminal record? That will decimate the US population in a hurry. 1 in 3 adults has a criminal record.

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.

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

Some of us have to go out for groceries. Not everyone can afford delivery service.
