A woman who ordered a doormat off Amazon got sent a doormat with a picture of the doormat she actually wanted printed on the front of it.
Comedian Emily Heller ordered a doormat off Amazon. It was supposed to be a grassy-textured doormat. It was supposed to look like this...
A 3D, textured doormat. All normal. Instead, she received this oddity.
A non-textured doormat with a picture showing what her actual doormat would have looked like, if they'd sent that.
WHAT IS THIS??
One explanation - in fact the only explanation - is this one..
@MrEmilyHeller "Crap. We ran out." "Just print a picture of it, and glue it to a piece of foam. No one will ever notice."

It got even weirder, when Emily asked them for a refund for the doormat, they came up with this brain-twister of an explanation.
UPDATE!!! Requested a refund and got a response: pic.twitter.com/m0j8rs8dEj

Their response reads:
"Dear blank. We are sorry for that, we are afraid that this is because of the screen's display problem. We can give a partial refund as compensation, do you accept?"
Whatever weird mistake that happened in the factory, we may never know. It's a "screen display problem", apparently.
Needless to say, Emily did not accept a partial refund...
I said no. Didn't wait to hear back, and filed an A-to-Z claim with Amazon and got a full refund in store credit.

However, at least Emily got some entertainment out of her doormat. She says she can't stop laughing at the weird, inexplicable error.
@kumailn I couldn't stop laughing

But that could just be the shock.
@nicolebyer I am still in shock
