LOOK, WE ALL know by now not to buy your prom dress online. But you’d think you’d be safe with smaller, less important household items?
Comedian Emily Heller recently ordered a doormat off Amazon. Or so she thought.
Seems like a nice, regular doormat, right? But when Heller received the mat a month later, she immediately noticed something was up.
