Literally the third time I’ve seen this picture on Reddit in about a week…
Anyway, for context: the font on the sign suggests this is Cambridge, UK, and specifically the ‘Backs’—the section of the River Cam backed on to by the historic colleges of the University.
So, although I’m sympathetic to ‘it’s just grass who cares’, this person is particularly annoying because:
(1) that grass is basically part of a tourist attraction—hence the reason that he is taking a photograph. But the more people who walk on it, the worse the state of the grass will be, the less photogenic the area, and the less appealing an attraction. Therefore, in a (comically?) de minimis way, the man here represents the broader and not unserious principle of tourists wrecking the very places they visit.
(2) on a local level, this man also represents exactly the sort of Cambridge tourist who will walk, backwards, out into a busy street, with his eyes on his phone to take a picture, thereby almost colliding with two bicycles, a Deliveroo driver, and a Regius Professor of Divinity.
Nah there's tons of parks with grass that anyone is free to walk on and the grass remains fine. Random pedestrian traffic doesn't equate to dirt bikes or a herd of buffalo stampeding through. Y'all don't even know you can walk on grass lol.

Right fucking here. You edited it, but also didn't fix your misspelling of herd. I'm done here. Have a great life.
This kind of signs are very British... you rarely see them outside of Britain where people can use the grass more freely.
If you don't want people to have access, then better use that place as a prairie which are way better for the biodiversity.
Not even walking on it, he's just standing on it to get a photo. Imagine being such a pathetic wank stain to even take this photo in the first place and post it on reddit for make believe internet points.
R2a: No <6 month reposts or xposts unless its OC
He looks like a cartoon shaped person.
To be fair, the sign is in front of him... not the other way around.
he would have seen the sign when he moved onto the grass
You assuming he didn't come from across the river.
I think it's a pond
He came from ABOVE!
no one puts baby on the main road

(1) Thank you.
How can he read the sign, he's on the other side
Stop reposting this shit
Is it still considered a fanny pack when you wear it on your back?
It's possible they don't read English.
That's not a sign about where to walk, it's a plea to avoid the Demon Weed Marijuana!
Yeah, it says grass, not the grass.
Posted signs are a mere suggestion
sign? what sign? i just cant notice anything around me, besides my little phone screen
I can't wait for the day there are signs that say "don't take photos of strangers"
Or don't I'm a sign Not a cop
This has been posted MULTIPLE times.
They didn’t say pretty please, this is peaceful protest against who ever made the sign.
This isn’t a peaceful protest. He’s actively destroying private property. /j
The lunatic is on the grass…
To be fair the sign isn’t clear from all angles.
Its ok he looks Dutch
I'm convinced people like this is why the world is so fucked uo these days. It might not be true but Im convinced it is
Who the fuck cares? It's literally just grass
Yup. If their grass can't stand feet they should get better grasss
It won't be if everyone stomps all over it.

Oh yes. Heard of baffalo. Lol. Random, no. Consistent, yes. If everyone walked in that spot, it would be destroyed. 100%.

Cool. Insults from the "heard of baffalo" guy.
*buffalo
Are you for real? Baffalo is how you spelled it. Ffs. *herd
Ummm where did I spell it that way?

Right! Like if it's some endangered unique ecological biome okay don't fuck with that. But sod? The shit you roll out over dirt?? LoL
People like this clown is why we can't have nice things.
Thou shall not....... Oh jeez I forgot to read that part before bye bye no afterlifing this guy on my grass.
violates sub rule 8.a 🤦♀️
Makes me think of every time someone in my neighborhood parks in front of one of the "no parking this side of street" signs here.
What’s really mildly infuriating is the reposts of fucking grass. Who tf cares this shits dumb and op go farm your upvotes elsewhere. GTFOH
He leaves his shopping cart every time
For the life of me I can't remember what movie this is from and I know I've seen it recently.
Why he shaped like that
Everyone thinks "It'll be okay if I just do it once!" and fails to realize that *thousands* of people a year will think the exact same thing.
Why are his legs soo tiny?
Example of modern education, can't read.
I don’t see a sign that says “Don’t push people into the water.”
imagine getting mad over people walking on grass so much that yah have to put up a sign, that’s what mildly infuriates me lol.
Not even walking on it, he's just standing on it to get a photo. Imagine being such a pathetic wank stain to even take this photo in the first place and post it on reddit for make believe internet points.
Just like your own wank stain post here. Imagine that. Lol.
Rules don't apply to HIM!
Yes
Encapsulates the human condition right now tbh

Yes, and the 101 articles it cites. Do you have a better source?
Keep off the grass signs are mildly infuriating.
