Upside-Down Welcome Mats


What is that supposed to mean? Being ever so self conscious I would automatically think it means I am the opposite of welcome, which is not welcome. It's kind of like tarot cards, where if the card is upside down it means the opposite of what the normal meaning of the card is. But with doormats, it might be different. The message as a whole might still be that of "welcome." But maybe the message is not for me. Maybe the message is for those departing the house. It's "welcome to outside." If you own a home and you have a door mat, just make sure you are aware of how your door mat is placed and what guests may interpret it as. Because it may save a lot of paranoia and awkwardness.
