Ebony Freeman shared a photo on social media of a delivered package of AstroTurf placed under her front doormat by a UPS driver, she said, apparently in response to the doormat's message, "Please hide packages from husband."

She captioned the post, "Oh my god look! The UPS guy actually hid it under the rug!"

Freeman tagged her friend in the post, Amanda Harper of Huntington Beach, California, who bought her the mat as a gift.

"I instantly laughed and the first thing I did was send [a picture] to Amanda before posting it on Facebook," Freeman told "Good Morning America."

"I had no clue it was going to get that much traction."

Freeman told "GMA" that her husband Mike doesn't "really" get upset about her online shopping.

Harper told "GMA" she bought the doormat off Etsy, where the seller is "super stoked" about the viral attention.

Freeman said she already has a funny doormat on order ahead of the holiday season -- one that sings "Here Comes Amazon" to the tune of "Here Comes Santa Claus."
