Don't Dead Open Inside

A humorous meme about signs being misread due to the words being misplaced. Since anyone who has ever read a book before knows that words go left-to-right, doing it any other way causes massive confusion.

Named for an image for the series premiere of The Walking Dead, where there is a chained door with zombies behind it. On the door is a giant spray-painted message that reads, "Don't open, dead inside." From top-to-bottom on the doors.

Several months later, many people began to point out that they mistakenly read it as "Don't Dead Open Inside" before realizing what it was actually supposed to say. As the years passed, several more examples of the meme spawned, and it eventually became the subject of many meme crossovers, such as "Floating Guy Chasing Running Guy," "Woman Yelling at Cat," and "Grandma Finds the Internet."

Don't Dead Open Inside quickly became one of the most popular memes of all time, as well as one of the few "old" memes that withstood the test of time due to its overall versatility.
