Delusional, Tacky and Weird Coffee Mugs (Pics)

Posted:

There are many benefits to having your own coffee mug at work. For one, you are helping to save the environment. You can lessen your dependence on non-recyclable paper cups, and help save; trees, air, water, and energy. The second benefit is that you can buy a coffee mug with a saying or picture on it that is so witty and clever that everyone in the office will take notice. Wake up, get dressed, drive to work, sit at your desk, have everyone talk about how clever your coffee mug is, and go home. Sounds fun, right? Your days will get infinitely more interesting as you become known around the water cooler as the, "cool coffee mug guy/gal". Your peers will be ecstatic you tell them you found a new mug with an even wittier saying than the last one. Unable to control themselves, they will stop by your cubicle to comment. Coffee mugs with these funny sayings always seem to spark people's interest, especially when casual exchanges in the hallway don't do your cleverness justice. So find a mug, and let everyone who crosses by your desk know how great you are.
