@medz That’s subjective and contextual! I live in a trailer park. There have been meth labs here, among other things. I just need to set the record straight and avoid any embarrassing situations that may arise.
@medz See, the problem is that if I got the “not a trap door” one I’d be forced to build a trap door underneath it, and that’d just be too much to build with my existing projects.
@medz well, reverse psychology will force visitors to avoid stepping on the mat, defeating the porpoise of having it. The upside: your doormat will be the cleanest in town (your floor will be a mess though).
You’re obviously not selling the Mediocre doormat because you pulled them all to line all the doors at your new digs. They will be sold used in six months.
This reminds me of the time I bought a multi-sync monitor in the early 90’s. It was about $1,500 for a 17" CRT at that time. The UPS guy put it in front of the door and then my doormat on top of the monitor.
My thought is they had a rule that they could leave it without a signature if they could get it under the doormat. Silly policy since you could clearly see the box from the road and see that it was an expensive product.
@PhysAssist same idea but I didn’t make any special requests. Still pretty funny. I did take a photo but that was around 20 years ago. Don’t know if I’ll ever find that picture ever again.
@Barney I’ve been working on a little project that I think @dave and @snapster might have some interest in & it’s been keeping me very busy.
That said, I hear @snapster has been working on a little project that’s going to get him set up with a partnership for life so I’m just gonna leave this here:
@Fen_Star I’m just curious why they feel the need to “protect their mats in transit from wear and tear” when their purpose is to lay out in the elements and to have you wipe the dirt from your shoes on them.
It’s a different product than usual and that’s a good thing. But I have a 2 foot tall gnome next to the step/ramp to the front porch that is holding a sign that says “Go Away!”.
@InnocuousFarmer Funny you should mention the overkill. I showed your comment to my husband. I have on the door a “No Soliciting/No Campaigning” sign on one side and “We have your pamphlet: So we don’t need to know about your company’s business, we already have religion, we know how we are voting and our child is selling the same things you are. So no need to ring the doorbell.” on the other side. As well as signs that say “Surveillance Cameras: activated by motion” around our house. The last sign was to keep anyone from ringing the doorbell and running away or any other vandalism occurring around the house. He hates them and I love them and you helped prove my point. Thank you!
@InnocuousFarmer No worries… I made most of the signs pretty small and put them in tasteful but decorative frames so you would have to be up on the porch to see them. I didn’t think they should be so big that you could read them from the street (although I was tempted). My sons friends get a kick out of them now a days. To answer your question on if the overkill works - yep, they work wonderfully!
@zachhh I’d be happy to do nothing for $5 a month. Send your money to me instead. In return, I will email you an analysis of random model numbers at various times throughout the year.
So where’s the funny cat door mat? Sure, you saved me $14, but it doesn’t seem right to ignore those furry critters who bring so many memes of joy to the world of meh.
Please please omg ponies please assure me that there are the customary small number (of the Not A Trap Door version) set aside for VMP members to purchase at 4pm?

@medz That’s subjective and contextual! I live in a trailer park. There have been meth labs here, among other things. I just need to set the record straight and avoid any embarrassing situations that may arise.
@medz I’m much more interested in “not a trap door” than I care to admit.
@medz See, the problem is that if I got the “not a trap door” one I’d be forced to build a trap door underneath it, and that’d just be too much to build with my existing projects.
@medz well, reverse psychology will force visitors to avoid stepping on the mat, defeating the porpoise of having it. The upside: your doormat will be the cleanest in town (your floor will be a mess though).

Would have been more clever if you offered something I wanted to buy. Good night. Have a great Labor Day tomorrow, meh!
I’d buy if you had the one about having a warrant.
“Come back with a warrant”
@lljk Way back in my youth, I actually asked a police officer that . . .
@huja Did the police officer tell you that’s not a question?
@warpedrotors paraphrasing
Are these edible?
@wew They’re Eddieble, Dannyble, Bartyble, hell even Terryble.
Scratch that last one.
I do not think I have ever spent more than $10 on a doormat, I can’t imagine spending $14 on one I do not like.
I got ‘Go Away’. Gonna save me the effort of yelling it throught the closed door.
/giphy wanting-instrumental-wall
@squishybrain Eh pce is ok if you buy a bunch 1 out of every 4 will be bad out of the box, If you want to keep your job buy red lion.
@cranky1950 I don’t worry if they are defective or not. Just so long as they stay on the floor and let me wipe my feet on them, I’m good.
A Meh logo doormat would have been great.
@norman8 How about this one?
@cengland0 Or this one?
@heartny I’d buy the ‘meh.’ Doormat!
Crashed servers? It’s a holiday folks, they’re not selling a fucking fuko!
Well, I guess you won’t feel bad rubbing dog shit on them at least…
Wine, I would buy Beer.
Not clever enough to put outside to slowly rot over the winter.
Servers are very slow tonight. Took 8 minutes for the link to the product forum to appear.
I agree, these are “clever”, not clever.
I agree.
No melted candy corn blob included? Pass.
Do you have any that say, “This IS A Meth Lab”? I’m asking for a deal… err, friend of mine.
@Tin_Foil
$50 bucks.
You couldn’t get this one?
@sourhead Someone didn’t read the bullets. Or did, and is just following instructions.
@dave you’re right…didn’t read the bullets!
@dave
You should have gotten this one for @carl669.
Thank you for the quotation marks. They do apply.
BTW, am I the only one who saw the first two comments displayed above the Specs section? Weird server shit going on tonight.
You’re obviously not selling the Mediocre doormat because you pulled them all to line all the doors at your new digs. They will be sold used in six months.

i actually have the “This Is A Mediocre Doormat” doormat. i love it. the neighbors in my apartment building probably hate it.
Trap door for me (for Halloween time), and the dog one for my awesome neighbor.

Hello – Any Meh staffers around? What are the dimensions of these mats? You say one thing (20 X 30), Amazon shows another (15.75 X 23.6).
@Barney https://cleverdoormats.com/products/go-away
I don’t have them in hand to measure, but the manufacturer site says “This doormat is 20 inches tall and 30 inches wide.”
@dave OK, thanks.
@Barney You want standard or mehtric measurements?
@huja Ha! I’m just hoping that someone will bring wine.
@dave These are Hobbit sized doors.
@dave Tall- that’s some really deep nap!
I could see maybe 20 inches long by 30 inches wide, and maybe 1.5 inches tall, but I don’t know if I can get my foot out of a 20" tall nap…
See Fen_star’s post below.
@dave Hm. This one seems smaller. (15.75 X 23.6)

@patti Oh, crap!
@Barney Hi there! Miss your purple face.
@patti Hey! Oh, I’m still around, but I’m not seeing you hanging out here too much anymore. You should drop in and talk with us more often.
@Barney I’ve been working on a little project that I think @dave and @snapster might have some interest in & it’s been keeping me very busy.
That said, I hear @snapster has been working on a little project that’s going to get him set up with a partnership for life so I’m just gonna leave this here:
@PhysAssist @dave @barney Megafail. Just over 1/2" tall and 16 x 24 wide. Basically, I just paid retail for this.
@patti Win some, lose some. Lately, I’ve been losing more than winning with my Meh purchases. (I got mine today, too.)
@patti Me too, and out of the 8 light-alarm-power banky things I ordered 3 are malfunctioning…
MeeeeHHH!!!
I am in the market for a doormat, but I just dislike these so, so, so much.
In our house it’s all dogs all the time
/giphy Contemptible precarious Scrooge
Not impressed. Don’t know anyone that would be impressed. Not biting on this one.
“Ha.”
“Other doormats are sometimes just 1.5 inches but we strive for a higher level of performance and maintain a 1.5 inch thickness across the board.”
@Fen_Star Why do I feel like I just made a $14 mistake?
@Fen_Star “The black paint will not tarnish.” Oh good, I had a big problem with that on my pure silver doormat.
@Fen_Star Now I’m sure I did.
@Fen_Star I’m just curious why they feel the need to “protect their mats in transit from wear and tear” when their purpose is to lay out in the elements and to have you wipe the dirt from your shoes on them.
@Barney On the bright side, it’s not a $28 mistake.
@Barney Let me send you some purple paint for your door mat and all will be well. :purple heart:
@sligett I love purple.
@mehcuda67 Too bad it wasn’t a $7 mistake.
@Fen_Star “The black paint will not tarnish.”
Great for the paint. Sucks for your reputation.

@Pantheist Are you answering your own questions today?
@Pantheist Smart lady.
It’s a different product than usual and that’s a good thing. But I have a 2 foot tall gnome next to the step/ramp to the front porch that is holding a sign that says “Go Away!”.
@WTFsunshine that is ideal! You need only maybe two more objects that say “go away”, and you’ll have a theme going. They’ll work in concert.
Gnome, door mat, maybe something hanging on the door, audible suggestion on the doorbell, conspicuous camera…
@InnocuousFarmer nameplate on the door.

@mike808 and a gnome Yoda.
@InnocuousFarmer Funny you should mention the overkill. I showed your comment to my husband.

@WTFsunshine oh dear. Far be it from me to step into the middle of a marital flagration, or argue with anyone’s sense of aesthetics.
But, importantly, does the signage assault work?
@InnocuousFarmer No worries… I made most of the signs pretty small and put them in tasteful but decorative frames so you would have to be up on the porch to see them. I didn’t think they should be so big that you could read them from the street (although I was tempted). My sons friends get a kick out of them now a days.

Meh keeps getting worse and yet I will give it $5 a month for nothing until they close down so do whatever meh!!!
@zachhh I’d be happy to do nothing for $5 a month. Send your money to me instead. In return, I will email you an analysis of random model numbers at various times throughout the year.
Already have a door mat that says Go Away. Even if I didn’t, $14 is above my door mat budget.
@RiotDemon Awww…a kindred spirit.
My friend Matthew hates doormats. Everywhere he goes, people say, “Welcome, Matt.”
@sreing Did he bring that pretty Irish girl who lost a leg in an accident?
@mike808 I think she works at IHOP now…
Obviously clever sets a low bar around the Meh office.
So where’s the funny cat door mat? Sure, you saved me $14, but it doesn’t seem right to ignore those furry critters who bring so many memes of joy to the world of meh.
@beachhead Meh has yet to directly offer catshirts too.
@narfcake oh noes…I guess that means meh has gone to the dogs? Arghh!! Cat meme’s unite…LOL
@beachhead The lack of catshirts is slightly more explainable, actually – only because it’s mostly the
faultrunning gag of one user here.(Sorry!)
Sidenote: I wonder if my two month hiatus of pestering the CEO about the lack of catshirts here is up yet …
I don’t care what crap you put up here for us to ignore, I’m still not giving up my VIP membership. SO THERE!
@JustKen
My trapdoor leads to the South Atlantic.
Not funny, or clever. And the CAT is in charge.
“Not A Meh Thlab,” now that’s clever.
@MrNews Is that the one in Ithaca?
@mike808 Various places, but not Ithaca(t). https://www.thlab.org/
@MrNews Not what the Corthican said.
Please please omg ponies please assure me that there are the customary small number (of the Not A Trap Door version) set aside for VMP members to purchase at 4pm?
@AllStarFame That’s not the way they do it.
I kinda like two of them but they seem expensive.
I don’t think clever means what they think it means.
@MrMark Think of it as alternative definitions.
Wish they had this:
