A Go Away Doormat

That's funny! They might get a lot of solicitors since that apartment is the first you see when exiting the elevator. Or people asking if they know where someone lives on that floor. I don't think it's appropriate, but that's just my opinion. I guess they have it there for a reason.

I love it, that kind of things just make my day. I once saw a "do not disturb" (sort of) sign for a door that instead of that said "Stay out or die"... man, I laughed so hard at that one.

I would like to get such a doormat. Let's face it, not everyone who knocks on your door is a welcome guest, be it friends or family or the friendly Avon lady. There are times when we just want to be left alone and that doormat seems to say it all. It can also be possible that the owner of the apartment saw the doormat, found it cute and placed it in front of their doorstep. But I would love to find one and place one on my doorstep.

actually that is really funny. i imagine the person has a great sense of humour!

I have "GO AWAY" written all over my face. No, just kidding. I would never get a mat like that because I really do like to interact with people. I would definitly have a "WELCOME" mat at my door. It makes you really feel welcome. It also gives the place an inviting atmosphere. I think that people have those because they are not very personable. They seem to be the type to be grumps, and make everyone feel uneasy. I know I would feel that way if I saw a mat like that. Have a great day. :)

Hi Mashnn, Who's to say that the door mat was put there because the person has a sense of humour and not necessarily because they want to be left alone! I'm not sure that I'd take it literally. I have wondered where I can get one of them myself! I have no concerns that people who come to my door would take it at face value; some might, but the majority I would think not. I find those mats quite funny and from a personal point of view wouldn't be deterred from ringing someone's doorbell because of it. IrishGal77 :)

Well, such offensive doormats depicts the temperaments of people who're dwelling there.

If I were getting alot of people coming to my door trying to sell me something then I would probably put a door mat out like that. I do not like alot of people comming to my house that I dont know. Now of course I would go into a persons house that had a doormat like that if I new them. I have seen signs on doors similar to the door mats.

I think that it is just humrous and that that is all there is to it. Nothing more or less to do with it. Though some do have such things on their doors to tell people they work third shift. Either way, they probably got it at a novelty shop somewhere and thought it was cute, nothing more or less.

How many have you seen such a doormat? If you can't find it else where, this may mean that the owner of the doormat has used it a joke. If it is not, to me, it is wierd and impolite to have such a doormat. Don't you think?

Reading this topic i am in dual situation... i am surprised and laughed. How a people can select such a doormat which makes the visitor thoughtful either to step in or not? Surely, i will enter and ask the question to the owner. Is it his fashion or a symbol of perverted mind? I need an answer for sure. have a nice time Mashnn.

The existence of such a mat does really kind of amuse me on a certain level. Of course, I must wonder if it was a tongue in cheek thing, just to be different than the usual mat. Or if the person in question is honestly annoyed with people dropping by and bothering them, for absurd reasons. The mind does in fact boggle for a number of reasons to say the very least and I must wonder what the intentions might be. Of course such of the thing is not going to make people included to go away. Far from it I would think. It would make people even more curious, more prone to entering the place, because that is not something that would detract attention. Rather it would draw attention and those who live to be obnoxious more likely to pester you. So unless it was a tongue in cheek thing, I do rather wonder about the intentions.

maybe dwellers are bitter.. or maybe they are kinda like for different. but its not proper, it can offend anyone.

I see no problem with that door mat. The mat is obviously for the use of the owner who wants no visitors whatsoever. I for one would not attempt to enter invited or not. The person living there is a solitary soul and is entitled to be so. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

hi mashon oh that would be a real turn off for me as I would feel whoever felt like that is not someone I would feel 'comfortable with.so I would hurry away from that place]really\ swiftly. lolI think its very cold and chilling and would keep people away as they would think you are some kind of a weirdo.I would never use one like that on my doorway.we have Garfield on ours'and it says welcome.

It's kind of funny for me. It's going to be a good laugh especially if owned by someone I know. I think people who owns this kind of mat doormat has a good sense of humor.

Hi Mashnn. What an interesting and funny doormat. I've never seen a doormat like that. Perhaps the owner owns two doormats? A 'welcome' and 'go away' doormats which he/she use alternately depending on the mood? Or if that is the only doormat he/she owns, perhaps he/she simply dislikes visitors.

This is quite interesting and such a funny doormat. This made my day! Lol.. I guess the owner don't want anyone to enter in his/her house. She/He wants to be alone and don't want to be disturbed. Happy mylotting!

I dont think he/she is antisocial or something. I think the owner just wanted to be original and not to go with the flow like everyone else does.
