“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.

Tip: Keep or save the numbers of a depleted AmEx/Visa/MasterCard cash card and use it for free trials. Most companies won't run your card until after the trial period. Cash cards don't have overages/overdraft fees. So, if you forget to cancel, it won't cost you a cent because the card you provided doesn't have access to funds.
I’m sure it's only because when the trial period ends, unless you cancel, you'll automatically start paying monthly subscriptions.
That's the problem. They're hoping you forget to cancel so they can charge you. And even if you remember, it's a pain in the neck. You're opted in by default. I would much rather be opted out by default and then input my info if I decide I'm willing to pay for the service.
Load More Replies...you know it's because they need it so you won't advantage and take a free trial one after another.
Happy Fathers day to the whole wide world and every Daddy who wore Old Spice.
That's swee t !My son visited and left his spray deodorant in the bathroom. I thought it was my throat spray and used it. Now I speak with an Axescent! (not really, a joke I read)
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
I don't understand the medical exception part... I have severe asthma and having a really bad time at the moment and the mask doesn't bother me (appart the fact that I hate having something touching my face)
Load More Replies...I don't understand why morons have a mask if don't even bother to use it correctly.
It’s like a slap in the face for the people who wear it properly.
Load More Replies...This! This! This! I’m a liberal who unfortunately lives in the red stain part of an otherwise blue state (I would move in a millisecond if offered a job in the blue). It irks me to no end when I see someone wearing their mask under their nose. They get belligerent when you try to remind them it should go over their nose—-no matter how polite and diplomatic you try to be. Stores aren’t posting the warning in very big letters—-it should be in enormous red letters, along with the portion of the state mandate requiring proper mask wear—-and they aren’t even trying to enforce it very much. Then again, why should I expect them to enforce it, when I see store employees wearing their masks below their noses too. All I can do is make sure my husband and I are scrupulous about protecting ourselves; wearing masks and gloves when we go out (only to do necessary shopping for now), and cleaning up when we get home.
Wrong. People can, and will, follow simple instructions. What we have here is that the 'simple instructions' that a lot of people get are conflicting, on the one hand, you have the real information but on the other hand, there is a shitload of disinformation out there. Personally, I find it difficult to even begin to fathom the evil in the individuals who make up and spread disinformation created to make average people put their own and other peoples' lives in danger. Wicked. CRITICAL THINKING is an art that ought to be taught in every grade from kindergarten to post-doctorate.
Load More Replies...It’s like he saw the sign and decided to pull his mask all the way down. Either he thinks he’s funny (he’s not), or it was a pure d**k move (if he’s a MAGAt).
Load More Replies...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??
Yeah, a lot of people think their opinions are equal or better than medical advice. (About 1/3 of America seems to be equivalent to toddlers screaming "I don't wanna" as they're told to eat a vegetable)
Load More Replies...Wear your mask , enjoy the outdoors, don't wear your mask stay home or in the hospital.
I would just like to point out that he should be wearing a mask too... He is calling himself out. Pls don’t hate me for pointing it out, I just think we should lead by example.
I don't think he's outdoors for this one. Or maybe he's on his front porch or something. Usually his photos show that he's around crowds of people, but I think he's at home for this one. He's gotta keep posting content somehow, I suppose, even during the pandemic.
Load More Replies...For most of Amazon channel trials you can order and cancel on the same day, and still get the free week/month.
Load More Replies...they get me with the tiny print, if you dont cancel before a certain time, they will charge you for a year subscription...
Then read the tiny print before you wantonly give them your credit card number, and make note of the date to cancel by on your calendar.
Load More Replies...There was a great post on Reddit where a guy had mentioned that he had a free trial of something. He said he always forgot to cancel those. He mentioned one that was expiring on a certain date. A person he didn't know from Reddit sent him a reminder a couple days before it expired to cancel it. I thought that was pretty cool. Still some good peeps in this world.
Very good advice! I did a bunch of free trials on my cable channels at the beginning of the Covid closings. I canceled them all on time except for 1. Had to pay for it, was very irritated at myself.
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?
Load More Replies...This. Is. The. Whole. Point. Of. BLM! All lives can’t matter while certain lives don’t matter.
Chocolate Lives Matter: Dark chocolate, Milk chocolate, White chocolate
BLM, and SLM (squirrel lives matter), So please stop any action to hurt squirrels and people.
Also, to pre-emptively tidy up space politics: Alien Lives Also Matter. And Dragons, if they exist.
Load More Replies...We are all the same. We have all doctors, lawyers, .... and so on from all back grounds. If I was in desperate need for someone's help I'm not going to say no because your black/white, gay etc. If you want to shake my hand I will shake yours. We ALL breathe the same air.
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.
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.
What's worse is when they show you something in the trailer, which isn't even in the damn film!
Load More Replies...this! i swear, if you watch a trailer, it reveals all the plot twists!
Or at least the only funny parts in that comedy that is not that funny after all.
my dad said that the you wanna watch the movie? watch the trailer for free
Thank you to medical staff, cops, emts, drs, nurses, paramedics, firefighters & minimum wage food workers & retail workers. Everyone who cant zoom work.
Don't forget the Dispatchers and Communication Specialists, with them working behind the scenes keeping every ground unit going, and emergency helicopter/plane in the air.
Load More Replies...Thank you particularly to health professionals with good bedside manner; there's nothing more infuriating than a provider/physician who doesn't have a fundamental --and paramount -- understanding of empathy and compassion
That's right, it's our job, for most of us our passion and our lives! I live to heal others #nurselife
Absolutely, positively, 100% this. I honestly cannot calculate the number of times they've literally saved my life. <3
Exactly, I thought I was one of the few people in the world who felt that way. I don't walk around my house with my cell phone in my hand, and shockingly my landline still works.
Load More Replies...I used to work in a fairly small office with 2 other people, and one of them almost always used the speaker. Even though the other 2 of us were not part of the conversation.
Load More Replies...It can be a comfort just hearing the voice of a loved one or a friend on a phone.
I was meant to have a zoom meeting today. I just couldn't figure it out! My IT skills are so bad That sometimes I forget about the delete button and use correction fluid on the screen!
During lockdown a few people suggested I video call to relieve the boredom. The thought of having my face on someone's screen meant I never did.
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
Unfortunately, regarding working, I'm expecting it to be a new norm; companies will save a fortune not renting office space.
Not necessarily. Our company prefers us to use their offices and their computers because we're handling sensitive information and virtual security is super important, and more difficult to manage when your employees are at home.
Load More Replies...Hey, at least you don't have to drive to work. Plus with new technology, you can control your office computer from home and therefore can do everything from home. Our employer uses a swap system so some people stay at home and the other do the physical work at work. Then on wednesday the groups flip and the cycle repeats.
If it works for the employer and employee, I see no problem with people working from home if it is at all possible/viable... stops people from getting stuck in rush hour traffic twice a day (and reduces traffic for those of us whose jobs require them to drive).
YES!YES!YES! I am totally with you on that one!!!!!! How many working from home on a zoom meeting with their shirt and tie on but still wearing their pyjama bottoms and slippers?
Yes it is!! Less cars, less traffic. I live not far from an airport. I eventually got used to the noise, but it's been so quiet since April, I can actually hear the birds sing. I've really enjoyed my back yard this summer and the quiet walks in my neighborhood. I'm really dreading the return of all the noise when things get back to "normal'
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies..."The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic lights turning green and the cab behind you honking." - Terry Pratchett
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.
It can be a wrap if the government stop easing off on restrictions until it is 99.99% clear.
Now there's a brilliant idea! I guess your out of ideas for stating the obvious, huh?
Wednesday, no Sunday, hang on when did I shower last? Yes, that's it, It's definitely, most definitely Saturday.... is it still 2020?
idk, like Septemberteenth ?? Or is it decemberieth already??(fingers crossed)
Same here, am just like, "hope this email finds you well" then go on with the story
Load More Replies...Kind regards is top of my list. The funny part is that the common email ending of "kind regards" is always used in serious emails, when there's no actual kindness but instead neutral, professional, or diplomatic wording. Ergo, maybe instead end with "diplomatic regards," insert name here
Yikes, and all this time I sign off with "-Thanks" they probably think I'm rude
Load More Replies...I dont understand that when people meet for the first time ever they say "nice to meet you" is it? have we met before?
My thing keeps saying, "You are posting comments too fast. Slow down!" Me: THEN SPEED UP YOUR REACTION TIME!
Attention:................................................At Ease.
My grandma just takes a million pics of fireworks instead of a video 😂😂😂

Load More Replies...Totally agree on that one. No big uproar on that
Load More Replies...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?
Load More Replies...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_OPJ2d86kE this is covid all the way
I do this whenever I go out when there’s covid in the community. It was mainly because of our first wave, but I’ve been doing it during our smaller second wave too.
The idea isn't to keep your phone from getting sick, but to clean the ick you just wiped on it with your dirty fingers so that an hour from now you don't transfer the ick to your face when you answer a call.
Load More Replies...Im using touchscreen laptop as i red this (notices screen barely gets cleaned) "oh so thaths why i dont feel so googhd"
That's what a lot of people said about 2020 and look what we got...
Let's hope it won't stay for 2-5 years, but it's a possibility :(
Load More Replies...BATMN - Blew Air Through My Nose. That's what usually happens.
Load More Replies...The "lol I'm dead" annoys he to no end, I see it in a lot of viral twitter posts, eg "lol look at my cat's face I'm dead" (insert funny pic of cat along with thirty randomly selected emojis in addition to the ten laughing face emojis).
I find "I'm dead" particularly annoying but I assumed that was because I'm a grumpy millennial.
Load More Replies...This is so true. My sister texts LMAO and lol but looks dead inside while doing it.
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...
"In the past decade, global refugee population has more than doubled, with more than 25 million refugees living in host communities around the world. We are now at the highest population on record, with 67% of the world's refugees come from just 5 countries." https://www.concernusa.org/story/largest-refugee-crises/
Load More Replies...Not for those working from home. My colleagues were going insane after 2 weeks!
Sure you are hippie. Meanwhile everyone else is working hard to keep useless twats like you from going hungry.
"Number of Refugees Worldwide Has Doubled in a Decade, U.N. Report Says Nearly 80 million people, or 1 percent of humanity, now qualify as refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced." ... "Some 73 percent of refugees seek asylum in a neighboring country, defying the populist notion that they flood to the West" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/18/world/middleeast/united-nations-refugees-80-million.html
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
Amen!!! Bragging with photos is just as annoying as vocally bragging
Bwahaha! Right! Or talking aloud to your two cats until they're sick of you. I didn't know cats could roll their eyes. Did y'all?
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
Yes, please. That's the glue that's holding this creepy 2020 funhouse together.
They are, actually. Most of my friends don't believe that COVID is a big deal. It's really sad.
Unfortunately, not always. Sometimes age comes alone.

We're in September n— *hears boss music ominously playing in the background* oh no
Don't jinx it. We might get another 6 months as a plot twist.
Thank God!... the closer we get to getting rid of tRump the happier I am!
that's sad, it is September and I have basically done nothing with my life except watch too much Netflix
but the teachers do that for educational reasons
Load More Replies...Disagree. Maybe just being an American it sure feels like "every man for himself" here. If people really gave ^{^{**]*+* about other people and wanted our communities healthy we'd roll out healthcare for all and pay our dues to take care of others less fortunate. I actually can't stand this sign because it's adaptive denial; I've radically accepted I live in a country where your existence is defined by money, status, and luck for the most part
I live in an English village where they set up systems straight away to help those who can't get out, telephone calls daily for those who are isolated, Facebook groups and zoom chats for those comfortable with the tech. The clap for the NHS also made us all feel proud and connected. Would laugh and smile with my neighbours. Had socially distanced celebration for VE Day and a few other things from our doorsteps. The pubs and cafes set up meal runs for people who couldn't get out and turned into take aways for the rest of us. All kept informed by the village Facebook page. I do feel proud of the people volunteering and trying so hard to help everyone in my village.

You can see in a person's eyes when they are smiling. Go try it out in the mirror you'll see what I mean. Also works for phone calls.
