Hundreds of customers who visited an Oklahoma coffee shop were unintentionally flipped off by a sneaky little ghost.

Seriously.

If you don’t look too closely, you might not even notice the adorable ghost sticker is giving you the middle finger.

That’s how The Misty Brew Coffee Co. unknowingly presented a few hundred people with the vulgar sticker on their beverage cups.

But once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

“To anyone who received one of the ghost cups…. I am sorry,” the Owasso-based coffee shop said in an Oct. 5 Facebook post. “I did not see what that little fella was doing.”

The Misty Brew Coffee Co. said the ghost has been removed from its back stock, and workers “will certainly make sure we have cups without hand gestures from now on.”

The heartfelt apology has received more than 27,000 laughing reactions and 700 shares in less than 24 hours — and many of the nearly 4,000 comments are from people who wish they could get their hands on a cup with that naughty ghost.

“But what if we want one?!” one Facebook user wrote.

“I love it!” another commenter said. “You should totally keep them coming for your regulars!”

“I would so make a 2 hour drive just for the cup,” someone else wrote.

“I mean it would have made my day to see that little guy on my coffee cup!!!” another Facebook user commented.

About three hours after The Misty Brew Coffee Co. apologized, the store said it was going to have to order more of the ghost stickers.

“Everyone that came by tonight wanted one….” the coffee shop said.

The Misty Brew Coffee Co. is a drive-thru coffee shop in Owasso, about 15 miles northeast of Tulsa.
