Who would have thought a simple mug could change your life? You really have to be careful about the kinds of mugs you have at home, especially if you have family visiting you often!

In some households, people have plain mugs with maybe abstract or flower designs. In other households, people go a step further and get more graphic mugs.

But does the type of mug you drink from really matter? Well, like a Chardonnay looks good in a wine glass and whiskey in a rocks glass, coffee too looks good in a mug.

And not just any mug. A mug that highlights your personality.

That said, not every mug highlights your personality. Some are jokes.

But lauriebunnie's family simply didn't care and were mortified when she accidentally walked out with a pretty graphic mug.

Of course, lauriebunnie didn't do it on purpose and because she was running on two hours of sleep, she quickly grabbed the only mug she could find, poured her coffee in it, and walked out to meet her boyfriend's family.

Little did she know that her mug was a show-stopper and that as soon as she walked in, everyone became silent. Awkwardness filled the air while people exchanged mortified looks with each other.

We'll let lauriebunnie explain. Let the scrolling begin.

Here's what happened.

Here's the mug in question.

Then this happened next.

The story goes viral on Reddit

Naturally, when you post anything as spicy as this on Reddit, it quickly goes viral. lauriebunnie probably wasn't looking for advice and suggestions, but a few Redditors were kind enough to help her out.

Nevertheless, the post racked up over 500 comments and 12.4K upvotes. Since we obviously can't paste all the great comments here, we filtered the 21 best ones for you.

Check out what people of Reddit think about OP's situation.

LOL. Most probably.

Sadly, OP never confirmed.

ROFL.

Some people can't take jokes, it's true.

OP gave us all a mental image.

Imagine the look on their faces then!

It would definitely be more funny in a gay couple's house.

I'm sure OP was mortified.

Agreed.

ROFL that's a great way to let the BF taste some limelight.

LOL. Secretly, perhaps.

Yeah, OP didn't deserve it.

We'll never know.

LOL, good point!

Not for sure though.

In the heat of the moment, it's impossible to come up with a boss comeback.

Maybe the placement of the mug confused OP.

Agreed!

Oh yes, this would have definitely broken the ice and enhanced a mental image.

Good point.

ROFL.

In Summary

OP truly landed herself in a pickle by accidentally selecting a very intimate mug, but it's not her fault the family can't take a joke!

Sure, some jokes are inappropriate, but the family could have made the situation less awkward, especially if they know she'd have never done it on purpose, right?

I mean, I'm in no position to comment, but OP was running on two hours of sleep. All she wanted was a cup of coffee to stay awake and energized.

It's safe to say that OP would lock the cup away and never use it when the family is expected, but we hope that she'd laugh about it months later!
