Whilst protests in America have erupted over the past few years, there’s one recurring character taking his own message to the streets. You might recognize Seth Phillips as the guy in sunglasses holding a cardboard sign and protesting random things, no matter how weird or strange they are. But the best thing is, we can relate to most of what this NYC protestor has to say.

So, if you’ve ever felt like your voice and opinion doesn’t matter in the vast world, then ‘Dude With Sign’ is here to prove you wrong. He calls out the annoying things that we wish we had the guts to tell others. Yes, there should be more chips and less air in bags! H-hey, first-world problems are still problems, o-okay?

We collected the very best of his funny protest signs, so scroll down and enjoy! Let us know which ones you agree with the most from this unsung hero. When you're ready, check out our second collection of Seth's brilliant signs as well.

    There are some annoying things that I can relate to here and want to call out too. Nobody wants to watch a dozen video stories of you at a concert, seriously. And to the guy that keeps hitting 'reply all' on our company emails: you need to stop. You’re fighting the good fight, Seth — keep it up with your funny protest signs, this is how we make changes in the world.

    While protesting random things does give us a good laugh, the role of humor in peaceful protest culture is no joke. According to one study, humor helps frame political protests, aids in creating a social movement’s collective identity, and is a powerful communication tool.

    What’s more, humor energizes protests and brings protesters closer together through shared positive experiences. To put it simply, humor and funny signs are a weapon of the people and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

    There are many innovative ways to support a cause that you care about. So, when you’re done looking through this list, check out Bored Panda’s previous articles about an Indian painter who highlighted awful roads by pretending to be an astronaut, as well as about a woman who showed her managers that wearing high heels as part of dress code is incredibly uncomfortable when you're working for 12 hours per day.

    It does make sense if you use it correctly. You should say it when you do care a little bit but "I couldn't care less" if you don't care at all

    There is no "correct useage" it's a phrase. It's misused. The phrase is "I couldn't care less". Saying "I could care less" is like saying unrelevant, or supposebly. It's quite simply incorrect.

    Let us say hypothetically, there is a care scale of 0 to 5, zero being do not care and 5 being I care so much I will give my life for it. I am showing two care, just because someone else wants to do certain activity. However, if given the chance and if I do not have to help other person, my care level would be zero. In that case, I can say I could care less, won’t you agree.

    I think you're confused... "I COULD CARE LESS, but I don't care enough about it as it is that it's not worth the effort to care even less than I do right now this very moment. It's insult to injury. It's the difference between doing something to spite you and to do something in spite of you. One is more malicious regardless of your understanding of it
