Remember What the Doormat Said

A home security camera in Haslet, Texas, caught an Amazon courier leaving a package in a less than obvious location. The man was only following the instructions — on the doormat. Vanessa O’Shea had picked up the mat in a store; she hadn’t intended it to be literally obeyed. It says: “Please hide packages from husband.” Millions saw her security camera video, which she posted on social media. One commenter wrote: “Now if only the mat was also somehow invisible to the husband.” (AC/CNN) ...Too bad “No Soliciting” doormats aren’t this effective.
