Get the Spiraling mug.When brunch turns into an all day drinking bender that ends up lasting until the wee hours of the morning.
“Wow. Today we are really spiraling.”
“How do you feel after spiraling yesterday?”
“Only one drink at lunch. We aren’t spiraling today.”

Get the Spiraling mug.Hym "I'm not taking hints. You need to do the thing I said. If your response to me saying that is 'I aLrEaDy DiD iT!' Then whatever you did doesn't actually constitute doing the thing I said. You're a fucking retard. If it's spiraling then YOU DO NEED TO COME HERE, you need to talk to me directly, and then you need to give me the credit and the money and then you need to do the terms of service. There is no half measure that will work. I have written all about your mentally retarded weasel psychology and none of the shit you generate with your mentally retarded minds is going to do anything other than make everything worse for everybody because you suck and are dumb."
