Yeah, that’d be me actually. It’s an ongoing saga. I’m not one to tell tales about a current employer in public, so all I can do is list my mug’s scars:

1) Soldering iron burn on the handle. (Laid the iron on the bench instead of putting it back in the holder. Did I mention I hate power cords that are heavier than the things they power?)

2) Dent on the back side that just fits the edge of my desk. (I talk with my hands. Sometimes I shout with them too.)

3) Bite marks in the plastic rim of the lid. (For when I’m trying to not shout.)

(In fairness, I tend to overreact to things that I find frustrating. I have a strong “how it oughta be” streak. I’d make a terrible cop - I’d pack the jail full of people who talk on their cell phones while driving.)

Tell me about the irate software developer. I suspect this is a story just itching to be told. ;)

I’ve had a number of cheap giveaway travel mugs that weren’t worth what my company paid for them. (grin) I have to say, the steel Thermos brand mug my son gave me for Christmas a few years ago has stood the test of time (and an irate software developer) and hasn’t leaked yet.

I realize your choices are limited, but I’ll bet one would show up in a CARE package if you expressed an interest.
