“My mom made wine glasses to give to her friends for the holiday,” Shagen34 wrote. “Her spacing was a little off on the first one.”

He included a picture that makes it seem as though the glass reads: “Friends are the rapists you can drink with.”

Because the kerning — or spacing of the letters — was off, Shagen34’s mom’s wine glasses took a puzzling turn. What she meant to write was, "Friends are therapists you can drink with."

A lot of Redditors are pointing out how similar the mistake was to an old episode of Saturday Night Live where Will Ferrel plays Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond plays Sean Connery in Celebrity Jeopardy.
