My pessimism turned out to be overoptimistic T-shirt

Lowering your expectations is supposed to be the secret to a happy life. Aim low, the theory goes, and the world can only pleasantly surprise you. However, this My pessimism turned out to be overoptimistic T-shirt is for everyone who tried exactly that, and discovered the world had simply taken it as a challenge.

You braced for the worst. You made contingency plans for your contingency plans. You told everyone it would probably all go wrong, partly so you could at least be right about something. Then reality turned up, looked at your carefully managed expectations, and limboed underneath them without breaking a sweat.

The design keeps things simple: bold capital letters calmly stating that your gloomiest forecasts have been comprehensively outperformed by events. No pictures, no punchline to explain, just a plain statement of fact worn at chest height.

A funny pessimism T-shirt for realists, the chronically unsurprised, and anyone who has ever said “well, it could be worse” and been proved right within the hour.

Printed in the UK on 100% organic ringspun combed cotton, with free UK delivery and our usual no-quibble returns policy. Finally, something that turns up exactly as expected.
