- Misaiato, on 10/11/2007, -1/+77next time you decide to analyze a perfectly funny coffee cup - remind me to hit you in the face with a can of beans.
- SlackerCSB, on 10/11/2007, -0/+64Link to the actual product.....
http://www.despair.com/pessimistsmug.html - fcekuahd, on 10/11/2007, -3/+45Why bother with this stupid mug? It's not like it's going to work on optimists anyway.
- IanPhillips, on 10/11/2007, -2/+36Apparently he isn't a "morning person"
- Ludwig, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25This thing is years old.

Not only that, but the whole "is the glass half empty or half full" analogy is flawed. It all depends on the quantity of liquid before its last change. If you only put half a glass of water into a glass, it has been half filled and not half emptied. However, if you fill a glass to the top and drink half of it you have then emptied half the glass. I personally prefer "The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole." -Anonymous - Durrok, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20"Stewie: That coffee mug that you have on your desk, it says life's a beach? Umm that's dangerously close to the word bitch isn't it?
Brian: Uhh, yeah that's the joke.
Stewie: Oh, absolutely! And nobody appreciates a joke like Stewie, and you know between you and me I think it's a stitch, but some of the other employees found it offensive.
Brian: Who else works here?
Stewie: *%&$ YOU THAT'S WHO WORKS HERE!" - avoidance, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17My work mug reads, "Don't be a jerk." It's important to let people know that I'm pessimistic not because of of some internal dilemma but because they really suck.
- arugulord, on 10/11/2007, -6/+20it could work on "Mormon people" too
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16I prefer the mug I have: http://www.cafepress.com/catsasschili.4514266
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18were you thinking it read "mourning people"? It's one thing to say "Hey lets be negative to that happy guy with too much energy in the morning" and something very different to say "Hey lets be negative to that guy whose family just died!"
- CheckPlease, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Here's a simpler one. Hold a standard styrofoam/paper cup with your coffee as you tell a co-worker to go to hell.
- unusualbob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11"Never again will you have to complain about your cups overflowing with joy/liquid/breasts..."
People complain about cups that overflow with breasts? - neio, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Its not pessimistic enough.
- KSUdesigner, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Here's a thought: if you don't like what's on digg, then submit what you think should be on here instead of whining about everything else. I have a feeling we'd hear you cry when your stories don't make it to the front page though.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Corporate accounts Nina speaking.
Just a moment! - palsss, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9where can i buy one of those cups (that overflow w/ breasts)
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Because maybe he likes stoneware. Jeez.
Why should you care if there's arsenic in your coffee? It's still coffee. - aralls, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I prefer these mugs:
http://store.theonion.com/categories.php?cPath=0_9 - theskunkworks, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9A pessimist will look at the glass and say it's half empty.
An optimist will look at it and say it's half full.
An engineer will look at it and say that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. - rayxtime, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10Looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays.
- penguinpc, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9"Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays."
- dorianh49, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that.
- jonr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I love it how Gizmodo link themself to themselfs.
- fantasticFlan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screwup.
Despair, Inc. is excellent. - dorianh49, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3My personal favorite is "Nepotism: We promote family values here. Almost as much as we promote family members!"
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm not.
- richminx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3ThinkGeek.com have been selling that mug for years. Now excuse me while I bust this printer wide open.
- Kevinok, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2That is a mighty fine mug.
- vornan19, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I strongly prefer stoneware mugs/cups. I see a ton of coffee cups that have a snappy message but since they're not stoneware I pass them up.
- charliecharlos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It all depends on the liquid and if there is more available. If it's the last beer, it's half full AND YOU BETTER ***** FINISH IT. If not, it's half empty, SO FINISH IT AND GET ANOTHER ONE
- ishmal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I guess that White Russians (drink, of course) are too happy to be served by this mug. Maybe accompanying it with classical Russian literature will be depressing enough to do the trick. Basic theme of all of the stories: slowly punish your protagonists, then give them a miserable and pointless death.
- hailxkill, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5This would also send the message...

Looks like someone got a case of the Mondays. - Drew7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That's funny but there should also be an optimist's mug.
- nytel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1bbbbbooooorrrrinnnggggg
- Iggins, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment..."
- mikesbaker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3finally a mug that expresses my faggoty existentialist side
- djAnakin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yaaa... i'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday. If you could do that, that'd be greaaat. Mmmkay?
- grumpychris, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Here's one to really shake the office folk up.

- OrangeTide, on 10/11/2007, -7/+8"Why bother with this stupid mug? It's not like it's going to work on optimists anyway."
Exactly. The optimistic morning people are just going to try and start a lively debate about your mug and their own personal world views. no thanks. I'll stick with my mug: "***** off, I'm reading The Onion" - cvsa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0tnx cool post
http://diggarticle.blogspot.com/ - jordanlund, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0The half empty/full conundrum is an easy one...
If you're in the process of emptying the cup it would be half empty.
If you're in the process of filling the cup it would be half full.
Simple. - Ubergoober3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1@Jimtac
To think your mental spell checker didn't catch that one. - slkester, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I love that cup!!!! My husband is a programmer and that is going to make an awesome fathers day gift!!!!
too funny - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1"People complain about cups that overflow with breasts?"
