My neighbor’s door mat reads…
All dogs welcomed…People tolerated.
She’s always very polite when she answers the door, but I always wonder IF I’m being tolerated whenever I approach her door!!!
I used to have one that read…
If you didn’t call before coming over, don’t bother to knock
ALL my friends knew that I was serious. Being elderly & disabled, I just don’t answer my door IF nobody called to say they were coming to visit. Lady across town was beaten to death after opening her door. The murderer was NEVER caught…so, I just don’t do it!!!
BTW, I say “used to have” as somebody stole it & I didn’t bother to replace it.
