AIBU to think my colleague is lying about having two dogs?

I work with a work colleague on a one to one basis however I think she’s lied to me about having 2 dogs (she does have 1) as well as to various other work colleagues.

OP posts:

Is she called Sharon?

Why would anyone lie about having two dogs? And also why would anyone actually care if they did?

Here we go again, folks.

She sounds unhinged OP.

Log everything.

I only read the OP’s post and saw she hadn’t returned when I commented.

It was the cow that jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such fun 😁

No, people who are so invested and suspicious of their colleagues.

people who start threads on here which take the piss out of all the myriad pointless other threads on here?

How would I know that? What are you on about?

The dog jumped over the moon and the dish ran away with the spoon. The end.

And I'll bet she expects her Mum to mind the dog when she is at work. She sounds like a spoilt entitled brat. Why should her Mum do it, she minded her own dogs long enough. And why is no one expecting her Dad to mind the dog? Its just internalised misogyny. I blame men. I think I'll start a thread about this previously unexplored topic.

Ultraalox · 18/04/2026 13:08

Where is OP? Gutted we may never know how many dogs her colleague actually has. 😩

WTAF - she's got a bastard cobra now ? Let's hope it isn't two.

Is it very lumpy as that could be where the second dog has gone?

Based on the info given, I think you're right. She's definitely lying.

🤣🤣🤣

Does the prime minister know? How soon can we get a cobra meeting called?

Maybe she owns one dog and the dog is the owner of the other dog.

This
its the obvious explanation

Lifegoalsofcatsandwine · 18/04/2026 12:31

Anton du Bark??

BruceAndNosh · 18/04/2026 12:29

Maybe she's claiming benefits for the second imaginary dog. Or it's an illegal immigrant like a Portuguese Water Dog or German Shepherd.

The OP wasn't serious about the colleague and the dogs.
It's a joke thread.

How would everyone know? What’s the point of having a go at people who don’t know, like the pp did to me?

Jokes aside it’s scary that there are colleagues like OP.
