Get the spamming-treemug. The over excessive use of a VTOL (Vertical Take Off/Landing Vehicle) in a round of Crysis Multiplayer. It can become extremely annoy as one person dominates with the ease of aerial advantage. This is an extreme fail.

Get the Spam boxmug. Random and obnoxious emails advertising penis enlargements that begin showing up in your inbox after visiting a porn site you knew you shouldn't have. Hard to filter because they were sent from an absurd address from a country with an abbreviation you never heard of before. Require awkward explanations to anyone looking over your shoulder while you check your email.
Girlfriend: What's that email about?
Guy: uh, just some stupid cock spam that I keep getting after I downloaded this thing for a project at work.
