I have a mate with an amusing story about a Batman mug
When he left his wife, he pretty much left all of his wordly possession - TV, stereo, that sort of thing. Continued to pay for the house and some of the bills

He also left a Batman mug. That he loved, above any other mug.

One day he went round for something (probably to pick up/drop off his kids) and ex wife's new bloke was sitting drinking tea from the Batman mug.

"you can sit in the chair that I bought, watch the telly that I bought, eat food off the plates that I bought, in fact, pretty mucvh anything you like. But you are NOT drinking from my Batman mug", quoth he. And he snatched the mug away, took it to the kitchen, poured the tea down the sink, and stormed out the door...

Tripping over the threshold as he did so, he could only watch helplessly as his beloved Batman mug smashed into tiny pieces on the ground.
