If you are not really a morning person this Have a Nice Day mug might be something you should consider drinking your [morning cup of coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-coffee-day-cups) out of. While the mug looks like it's encouraging those around you to have a nice day, when you look at the bottom of the cup you'll find a comical finger flipping the birdie.

The Have a Nice Day mug really isn't all that nice when you think about it. This [hilarious coffee cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-and-peanuts) comes in a [black ceramic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-year-mug-snake) complete with the warming well wishes printed in white along the front of the mug. Everyone will assume you're in surprisingly good spirits until you go to take a sip of your coffee only to flash everyone the middle finger that's printed underneath.
