For the record, the coffee mug backfired in the office environment. Got my own aesthetically pleasing coffee mug that made me happier at work. Then proceeded to spend social capital getting my mub back from coworkers, then proceeded to worry about wasting social capital on something as insignificant as a mug, then proceeded to waste time doing a cost benefit analysis on having an aesthetically pleasing mug.

This is relatively upvoted. Is there a mug related meme I'm missing here?

I was just curious about what sort of mug could cause so much enthusiasm.

The mug. Turns out the simple minimalist style is popular with our technical staff.

As in, "I need to have exactly this kind of mug. It will vastly improve the quality of my life!"
