The Ketchup Drawer

When a coworker habitually disposed of her ketchup-soaked trash in another's desk bin, the person who sat at that desk became annoyed with the woman. After asking her repeatedly not to do it, the person decided to get revenge.

The victim of this smelly offense began hiding the ketchup containers in the back of the offender's desk drawer without her knowing. This accumulated a total of six ketchup containers.
