If you're like me, the first thing you do after waking up in the morning is spend entirely too long figuring out how you can rearrange your schedule to squeeze in an extra 30 minutes of sleep before work. You wrack your brain to figure out if that requires skipping a shower and counting the days since you last washed your hair.
But then it wafts over your direction: The sweet aroma from your automatic coffee pot that draws you out of bed like Dracula rising from his coffin.
If you're one of those people, you're probably also catatonic until at least halfway into your first — or perhaps second — cup. This is difficult to juggle when you probably have to at least pretend to be sociable to friends, family, or coworkers. But sometimes you're just going to have to let your hands do the talking, specifically with the mug that you're holding in said hands.
For moments when you need to show off the snark and spunk that doesn't come to you naturally until after 11AM, here are a few ways to express yourself without actually verbalizing a single word.
1. There's no way you woke up like that.
Ooh, throwing that shade early in the morning!

3. I'd love to stay and chat but I'm lying.
They say a picture is worth 1000 words.

We don't recommend crack, either.

Disappointment is hard to take. Make it better with this mug.
