I guess it's better than blemishing the floor? They should have read the instructions and disclaimers on the packaging.

They must not do it too often, or the ceiling texture would be chipped.

The ceiling slopes. That's a doorstop. Guess they didn't want one in the middle of the floor. The lesser of two evils? I woulda painted it white.

Ah yes. . . 80" door with a sunken floor. No scuff marks on ceiling, simply screw the stop in place, always there when you need it, nothing to trip over!

The owner said the painter offered to paint it and he told him not to bother because he thought it was funny too. He gave me permission to post the pic.
