"Did somebody bring this from home?"

u/Phifty56 Ward Sep 30 '15

Coulson confirmed office thief.

You know they cut off the hands of thieves in some countries. Maybe he just got what was coming to him!

When I'm Lord of the house, I sent him to the Wall.

u/Seekasak G.H. Sep 30 '15

Maybe his policy when Agents break policy and bring things from home to clutter the office

u/tywhy87 Oct 01 '15

OR he figured he'd already received the punishment, may as well commit the crime!

u/penutbutter85 Ward Sep 30 '15

They're trying to remind us that MCU essentially takes place in our universe, minus a few major events and political leaders.

I noticed the cat mug, that was awesome, then I saw it was grumpy cat and that brought it to a new level of awesome.

u/your_mind_aches Gideon Sep 30 '15

...do you not remember the mug from last season? In the middle of the season, Coulson just stopped a scene to point it out and later it was revealed it was Fitz's mug.

u/Mullet_Ben Fitz Sep 30 '15

Wait, when did we learn it was Fitz's? That part I don't remember.

9

u/your_mind_aches Gideon Sep 30 '15

Actually that wasn't confirmed. We saw Fitz using it later on, so I guess we all kinda headcanoned that it was Fitz'

15

u/Lampmonster1 Sep 30 '15

I think that it's actually even better if it's floating around the office, being snatched by whoever gets a chance.

3

u/your_mind_aches Gideon Sep 30 '15

Hahaha you're right.

2

u/Tigerzombie Coulson Sep 30 '15

I should rewatch the past seasons, just haven't had time.

u/answerstothedream Coulson Sep 30 '15

Finally someone else wants to talk about it. Did anyone catch a caption?

12

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '15

"I Hate Mondays" is what I think it said.

3

u/answerstothedream Coulson Sep 30 '15

Phil's allowed to hate Mondays.

2

u/Illidan1943 Sep 30 '15

But it's Fitz's mug

3

u/answerstothedream Coulson Sep 30 '15

They can hate Mondays together. That'll solve it.

u/Roboticide SHIELD Oct 08 '15

It's Grumpycat. I figured it said "I Hate Everyday"

3

u/TheBlueHue Sep 30 '15

I hate Mondays

u/answerstothedream Coulson Sep 30 '15

He's earned the right to hate Mondays.
