To start a Vendetta against my coworker over this

[DoubleNegativePanda]

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.

Kill her

I work in a dental office. The most horrendous thing I can think of is to use her cup to scoop up a mugful of the liquid in the ultrasonic cleaner. It's a big deep sink full of a mild detergent and water and you put all the used instruments in it to shake off all the blood and tissue and crap. It's viscous and warm from the ultrasonic agitation.

Actually I feel sick just thinking about that. I'm not sure I could do that even to my ex-dh, it's so terrible.

For the record I wouldn't really do anything to her cup, i just like thinking about doing mean things.

Skiff her mug.

Definitely she should buy you a new mug, and she can have this one, assuming that it has no great sentimental value.

That behaviour is rank, vile and unforgivable.

I had no idea bone broth existed.

Can you get a new mug and store it away from the others/in your own office or space ?

Ask her to wash it in a dishwasher. then take it home and do it again. Job done

In our place using someone else’s cup/ mug/ fork is punishable by death! ( not literally)
It got to the stage where we all ended up with mugs with our names on and people hiding their own cup away

Op I feel your pain

It's pretty disgusting. But what is "Skiff" @LadyFairfaxSake?

Eeeee, bone broth! How disgusting

Destroy her!

@Mayrhofen Dishwashers don't sterilise things. They don't get hot enough for that.

Ugh bone broth. Make her a cuppa from dirty dish water. Although she probably like it.

I read "starting a Vienetta" against your co-worker. Which is only a punishment if you're eating it in front of her and not sharing.

That's disgusting, both the broth and her violating your mug with it. Buy a new mug with your name on it and give her an invoice for it.

I make 'bone broth' all the time, boil up chicken carcass once most meat has been eaten, strain out bones, add veg, lasts for days and is delicious and how proper stock is made.

Yeah I’d piss in her mug for that.

Bone broth is really healthy. I boil a chicken all day then strain, add pearl barley lentils and a load of veg garlic onions etc. Maybe even a glass of white wine. And it’s super tasty. Soul food x

Flame thrower I am afraid. Scatter the ashes and mourn. Then buy her a fuck off great sports direct cup and use nail varnish to put her name on it.

Stick a raw bone in her mug-claim it’s deconstructed bone broth.
But seriously, bone broth is actually very good for you, a good clean and it will be fine.

It's just stock, not faeces

Don’t be ridiculous . It’s healthy food . Just wash your cup

Are you basically saying she drank a whole mug full of gravy?

It's just stock. Unless you are vegetarian then I don't see the problem with what she used it for. She shouldn't have used it at all though.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who read it as vienetta.
