Carpet Is Killing People

Text on the meme

“What do you mean the carpet is killing people?! Carpet can’t –

What it means

A screenshot shows a staircase covered with loose, uneven carpet tiles that look dangerous to climb. The joke is a literal interpretation of “carpet killing people,” followed by an image of a carpeted staircase that could actually cause someone to fall. It is used as an absurd reaction to warnings or phrases taken too literally.
