Earlier today, I grabbed a mug from the dish drainer at work and was the next thing I knew, there was the sound of breaking ceramic and I was left holding nothing except the handle. The thing just separated at the places the handle was attached and crashed onto the tile floor in the back room.
I checked the rest of our mugs right away. It would be a very bad scene if that happened to someone holding a steaming hot cup of coffee. Coffee shop peeps, wherever you are, be sure to examine your coffee mugs regularly!
Oh, and then when I showed my boss the handle, I cut my thumb on the darned thing. This is me with the killer mug handle and my bright blue, finger-cot-covered thumb.

I hope people listen. That could be a major lawsuit.
Sort of like the car window that shattered on us spontaneously while driving yesterday morning.
Gotta thank your lucky stars things ended so well.
I’m a little late, but what a bummer. It’s a thumbdom.
Exactly, a thumbdom.
Joan, I’m glad y’all weren’t hurt by the glass.
Tami, I’ve got everyone I can looking at the handles.
