Co-workers may breach common office etiquette from time to time, but one woman had enough when her co-workers continued to use her coffee creamer without her permission.

She took to TikTok to share that she replaced the creamer with watered-down sour cream and a cup of salt but was met with some resentment from some of her fellow office mates.

TikTok user @forthehowlofit posted a video that has since viewed more than 400,000 views where she said that she was approached by her coworker who told her that the coffee creamer was salty.

@forthehowlofit explained to her co-worker that she did not mind sharing, but was "tired" of coming to work and learning that she no longer had any more of her own creamer for her coffee.

Not long after that conversation, @forthehowlofit's work friend told her that her other co-workers were upset with her for what she did to the creamer.

"Is it me? Am I the 'Sodium Sabateaur?' Am I the "Salty Supervillain?'" she pondered. "Or, are they just suffering the salty consequences of their actions?"

She concluded her video by expressing her disbelief that her first "work drama" involved a coffee creamer.

According to a piece published by Chron, there are some well-known pieces of advice when it comes to etiquette in the office, specifically when it comes to food.

Employees are encouraged to clean up after themselves, practice good hygiene and not steal from other co-workers.

"Carefully mark your own food with your name so no one will be tempted to steal it or carry your food in a lunchbox," the piece reads. "If a plate of cookies or donuts is left on a break room table, it generally means the food is available for anyone who wants it, but otherwise keep your hands to yourself."

Employees should ask their supervisors if the food that is left out is meant for everyone in the office, or if someone may have accidentally left it behind.

Some commenters shared some thoughts on what she could have done.

"So here's what you do: you buy 20 containers of creamer (crowdfund, I'll pitch in) and you fill the entire fridge with creamer," TikTok viewer Sheera Hoffman commented.

MJPJ suggested she should add some grated ghost pepper to the creamer.

Many other viewers shared @forthehowlofit's frustration.

"If it had your name on it, they could have just asked you for some," sambielli wrote. "The AUDACITY of coming to tell on themselves after tasting the consequences!"

In a follow-up video, @forthehowlofit said she struggled with feeling somewhat guilty for the incident, and she also learned that the person who went to her about the creamer was not the only "culprit."

She said that co-worker, in particular, told other people at work that she offered her the creamer and then "poisoned it."

Seeking to restore some peace in the office, @forthehowlofit, who noted that she is a manager, purchased two boxes of individual boxes of creamers for everyone to use and posted a message for them to read.

"It's come to my attention I created a negative environment with my ill fated attempt at a prank regarding the use of a bottle of creamer that was labeled with my name on it," the message reads.

She continued and wrote that while she was frustrated to find a nearly empty bottle when she came into work, she wanted a clean slate and offered them the individual creamers.

Although no one apologized for what they said, @forthehowlofit said she felt better because she made the situation better.

She told Newsweek that she was surprised by the reaction toward her prank. And, though she is new to the company, she said she's heard of previous incidents involving food stealing, though those incidents involved people no longer affiliated with the company.

"I'm actually embarrassed that this video is going viral," @forthehowlofit said. "In this day and age, this type of work drama should not even be an issue."
