Think of a doormat as your personal, free-of-charge billboard aimed at your target group—beloved friends, family members, delivery couriers, neighbors and whatnot.
You can use it however you want: most of us just pass on the opportunity, while others use it to the max. And by max, I mean getting the most insanely creative doormat to make your guest’s jaw drop before you open the door.
And to show you what kind of power a good, like really good, doormat has to put smiles on people’s faces, Bored Panda compiled a selection of the most ingenious, hilarious, and unusual ones. So that we know not every mat has to be as boring as that good old “Welcome” one that was laying on the floor long before you started renting the place. Psst! Part 1 of the doormats awaits by the corner.

We Got A New Front Doormat And She’s Happy About It
Kennedy Johnson 4 years ago (edited)
Yeah, when dogs smile it makes me so happy! Do you know why she likes that mat or does she like every mat?
You could just put a plain old boring doormat by your entrance and call it a day. In fact, you probably did so, and me too. But what if it’s a missed opportunity to get your visitors talking? To bring a smile to the postman’s face? To make the courier’s day? To say something weirdly hilarious without uttering a word?
I mean, if you have to put something out for you and your guests to wipe their shoes on before they enter your home, so why not have some fun with it? And there’s a world bigger than our own full of charming, funny, snarky puns and messages to bring some fun back to your doorstep.

Some messages may sound borderline awkward, like “I hope you told us you’re coming over,” “Definitely Not A Trap Door,” and “We Are Probably Pretending Not To Be Home.” Other pun ideas include “As seen in MTV cribs,” “Nice shoes,” and “All Peopled Out.”
Whatever you opt for, think of it as a great way to open the conversation, a perfect place to put a lighthearted pun and try it out! These days when half of the world is spending more time in the comfort of their homes, one should not miss a chance to put a smile on our tired faces.

When my son had just started talking I would take him to help me in the garden, which was completely fenced in and very lush and overgrown. He would disappear in the vegetation occasionally which would prompt me to yell out "Were are you?". From somewhere in the wilds of this lush edible forest I would hear "I right here". Very helpful...

Cat Log, Day 89: I must warn you of the monster named "vakyoom". It is definitely most dangerous, as it has eaten many things, even one of my hairballs-my only weapon against my captors. However, it is quite easy to evade, as it screams as it searches for its prey. Despite this, I am certain that my captors have mastered control over it by grabbing it in a certain spot on its horn. Thankfully, like me, the vakyoom has mastered the art of long hibernation, sleeping for days or weeks at a time. It also seems to have gained the love of the humans, as they protect it from me at all costs. I will destroy it one day.
