Synopsis A young lady arrives at her date’s home. Before she can even ring the doorbell, she is welcomed by a worn-out doormat. When she does not return his greeting and wipes her feet on him, the welcome mat becomes inhospitable. He informs her that she has worn out her welcome and that his home’s owner answered the door much more quickly last night when a hotter date came calling.
