It’s not “your” hobby.

Nobody is stealing your thunder by taking up running.

If you faux roll your eyes and mention it again I’m going to throw a fucking stapler at your head

AIBU?

Start jogging through the office on arrival in the morning in full gym wear and stretch enthusiastically by your desk. Blather on about electrolytes and juicing. Watch Janet sizzle.

Oh now you see, when I read the thread title I thought it was going to be about one of those really irritating people (people doesn't sound right - should it be persons?) who plasters their life on social media and is always "owning it" or "slaying it" whatever "it" may be and I was all ready to tell you that Janet is a Grade-A arse.

However, now Janet sounds like a Grade-A* arse so there you go - she's really "owning it" now!

Feck it! Arse!

Come in festooned in lycra every day! Fucking Janet Grin

PanPanPanPing · 05/12/2017 18:13

I expect 'her Roy' has got piles.

Calm it JanetAngry

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/12/2017 18:15

@Janetsadick - I think you should tell Janet that you are fine with her ‘owning’ running, but you have decided you ‘own’ weeing so she’s not allowed to do that any more!

CanadianJohn · 05/12/2017 18:15

Who the eff is Janet??

SagelyNodding · 05/12/2017 18:15

I once had a friend who OWNED the colour red...
Fuck you Janet and your kind (hands industrial style staple gun to OP)

dotdotdotmustdash · 05/12/2017 18:16

Wasn't Mo Farah awarded Running by the Queen recently?

Fekko · 05/12/2017 18:16

I own green so there!

Namechangetempissue · 05/12/2017 18:17

Owning the colour red...HmmGrin
People are bonkers

gingergenius · 05/12/2017 18:17

Janet's an idiot.

Don't be like Janet.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 05/12/2017 18:18

I have absolutely no idea what this thread is about. Anyone care to explain or is it an in joke? Confused

elephantoverthehill · 05/12/2017 18:19

Damn it, Janet owns running. Now Op you could really up the game by copywriting stapler throwing and petitioning to make it an Olympic event.

Oooh, I know, I think that Janet's aiming to be Lady Captain at the golf club and needs to get fit?!

buntingqueen · 05/12/2017 18:20

I think I know Janet! She doesn’t actually do running any more, but is still a major authority on it, and no one else is allowed to do it, as she did it first.

I thought I invented running last August. Confused what’s going on? Does Janet follow me on social media or something?

SootSprite · 05/12/2017 18:22

You’re not taking up running. Running is SO last year darhling.
Speed-Jogging is all the rage this year.

BrokenBattleDroid · 05/12/2017 18:22

Ditch the desk chair and put a treadmill in its place? Do all work using voice recognition software (loudy), and begin all phonecalls with "SORRY IVE GOT YOU ON THE HEADSET BECAUSE IM RUNNING".

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 05/12/2017 18:22

Dammit, Janet...

She'd hate my office. About three quarters of us run.

FizzyGreenWater · 05/12/2017 18:22

I had a colleague who owned baking, it was so cringe when someone brought in some baked goods and she came over to taste their "effort".

Fekko · 05/12/2017 18:26

We have one of those. Sadly the cakes and bakes really taste fantastic but make everyone constipated (and we are all too scared to say so!).
