To start a Vendetta against my coworker over this

I came back from lunch to find my coworker sitting at the kitchen table using my personal tea mug. We all have our own mugs, and we know whose is whose. I lightly said "hey, that's my mug" thinking I'd poke her a bit but I wasn't really mad. Yet. Until she said:

"Oh I know, but it's the biggest and I wanted to fill it all the way up with bone broth"

She filled my tea-only mug with disgusting collagen-y bone broth and heated it until boiling in the microwave. She clearly knew from my expression that this was not okay and hastily offered to handwash it to make sure it didn't stain or leave a film, but AIBU to be really pissed off? Who does that? Use your own cup and fill it twice, but don't ruin mine! Because it may be ridiculous but I feel like my lovely favorite mug is ruined for tea.

🤮id have to bin it

A vendetta isn't enough. This calls for outright war!

Fatted · 20/12/2018 18:55

Raise a grievance.

Get them sacked.

Kolo · 20/12/2018 18:55

Completely reasonable. I’d go to extreme lengths to wreak my revenge.

Twizzleegg · 20/12/2018 18:56

OMG

I don't think your colleague thought it through, so à vendetta would be unfruitful, but I would say that you can't stand the idea of bone broth in your mug and ask your colleague to get you a new mug

Pee in her broth from now on... Grin

waxy1 · 20/12/2018 18:58

Get her to wash it, then you should ostentatiously break it into the bin.

DoubleNegativePanda · 20/12/2018 18:59

Xmas Grin at pee in her broth!

Clearly I am not the unreasonable one in this scenario. Not sure my conscience can live with having her sacked but it's definitely something to daydream about.

I would piss in her mug and say it was the right size for your urine sample.

Fatasfook · 20/12/2018 19:00

Well it’s her mug now. Get a new mug and keep it dangling from a hook around your waist when not in use

WhatsUpHun · 20/12/2018 19:01

WTF is Bone Broth?

My other coworkers are philistines. Nobody understands why I have a problem with this.

Stupid Americans

Line the base with industrial strength laxatives. Dye it the same colour as the rest of the mug. Casually leave it lying around.

DoubleNegativePanda · 20/12/2018 19:08

@WhatsUpHun this is [https://www.kettleandfire.com/pages/what-is-bone-broth Bone Broth]. Vile stuff imo.

Bone broth?! What the ever loving fuck is that?!

DoubleNegativePanda · 20/12/2018 19:09

Well, I really nailed that link!

Bone broth is stock.

JamPasty · 20/12/2018 19:10

Cross posts. I now know what it is. Dear God above!!

Littleraindrop15 · 20/12/2018 19:11

Tell her to get you a new replacement as you are vegan

Mayrhofen · 20/12/2018 19:11

Your mug will be steralised in the dishwasher, it will be fine honest.

But I would piss in her mug too, when she wasn't there and not wash it.

GhettoFabulous · 20/12/2018 19:11

Offer to make her tea then spit in it.

HistoriaTrixie · 20/12/2018 19:12

Yep, it's a hipster term for plain old stock. "Stock" wouldn't command as high a price in the kind of restaurants that serve things on slates though, would it? Xmas Grin
