#21: The Mug That Saw It Coming

Some photos capture disappointment so perfectly that no explanation is needed. This one does exactly that. Someone ordered a humorous coffee mug online, expecting a fun little surprise when it arrived. Instead, they opened the box only to find their brand new mug completely shattered. It was placed inside the shipping box without padding, protection, or even a scrap of bubble wrap to soften the journey.

The result was inevitable. The ceramic broke apart on its way through the postal system. The funniest part of the whole situation is the final pose of the broken mug. A large chunk fell away in just the right spot, leaving a cartoon character staring out of the void and saying, “Oh no.” The mug’s own message summed up the failure better than any words could.
