Get the Tissue breakupmug. The weird mixture of surprise, resentment and anxiety you get when someone mentions having standards that are a lot higher than your own.

“Neither am I,” Steven replied. “I feel really average — my GPA is only 3.48!”

“How much do you bench?” Andrew asked Ryan.

Get the Standard shockmug. The anniversary of the day you started working at a particular business. Not normally celebrated (unless it's a big one like 10 years, 20 years, etc) but sometimes acknowledged by the person, co-workers or the boss.

Get the Work birthdaymug. When you're talking on the phone, want to end the call, drop a hint, but the other person keeps talking and stretching the call out. You say things like "I should be going", you no longer consent to the conversation continuing, but the other person tries to start a new topic or keep you on the line. The person in question is often a loved one who means well, but it's nonetheless really annoying because your time is being disrespected.
I called my friend but I was getting phone rape because she wouldn't shut up when I repeatedly said I had to go.
