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?

I have a 'Janet' who owns hard work. Apparently she's the only person on the planet who works hard Hmm

PS, did I just see cod up there ^ a bit?!

youarenotkiddingme · 05/12/2017 18:37

Ask Janet if she was personally responsible for Mo Farahs retirement - because he couldn’t possibly run whilst she is Wink

Originalfoogirl · 05/12/2017 18:37

I hate running. But I’m going to take it up just to piss Janet off.

upperlimit · 05/12/2017 18:37

Run behind her shouting "Janet, what are you running from?" Give her something proper to whinge about.

ShoesHaveSouls · 05/12/2017 18:38

Oh, I own prosecco drinking. Sorry everyone Grin

Can't I have anything to myself??

bellabelly · 05/12/2017 18:38

I hate Janet so much that I'm thinking of going for a run tomorrow after two years of, erm, not running at all. That'll show her.

PanPanPanPing · 05/12/2017 18:39

Shoes, you are more than welcome to own Prosecco - it's all yours!

Esspee · 05/12/2017 18:40

Come onnnn everyone, for those of us who have no idea what the hell you are on about would some kind person please get us up to speed?

derxa · 05/12/2017 18:41
Is Janet like this woman? Janet: Guess how many k I did last night? OP: Don't know. Janet: Go on guess! OP: 30k Janet: Who do you think I am... Paula Radcliffe? ad infinitum...
Blatherskite · 05/12/2017 18:41

Damnit, I work at quite a few running events. We were planning on seeing hundreds if not thousands of runners at each of them but if only Janet can run then they're going to be very lonely events!

Plus, her entry fee is going to be astronomical!

What do I tell the 1,000+ people in my running club?!

PanPanPanPing · 05/12/2017 18:44

Esspee. I think it's one of those threads that's just taken off exponentially and tangentially. This is what MN used to be like in the good ole days!!

flingingmelon · 05/12/2017 18:44

Our office Janet owns dancing.

Xmas party should be interesting with just her on the floor all night. Confused

SilverHawk · 05/12/2017 18:44

I own a staple GUN. Staple her feet to the floor Grin

MushroomSoup · 05/12/2017 18:45

esspee don’t you know Janet? Shock

AstridWhite · 05/12/2017 18:45

Has anyone asked to run alongside Janet? Are they gatecrashing her running space? In which case she might have a point with 'God, can't I have anything to myself?'

But assuming the other runners do not want to with to run with Janet and cramp her style or make her chat unnecessarily while running then she is being a massive arse.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 05/12/2017 18:45

Oh, that Janet! I know her. Therefore op, I KNOW YOU!
Run in the opposite direction like Phoebe did in Friends. Get everyone in the office to do it.

UtahGirl12 · 05/12/2017 18:46

Well girls, I hate to break it to you, but I actually own sex. That's all sex, from quickie shags to slow sexy lovemaking sessions that last all evening . I even own one night stands. Sorrynotsorry.

Originalfoogirl · 05/12/2017 18:48

My 8 year old has just declared she owns chocolate. Dammit she got in the before me.

PanPanPanPing · 05/12/2017 18:48

Anyway, Janet should be too busy writing her Christmas round-robins at the moment - how on earth has she got the time to go running?

JanetStWalker · 05/12/2017 18:51

Did you mean to be so rude? Hmm

665TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 05/12/2017 18:53

I own several things as I am slightly older than time ( own that)
Winning the lottery, (totally mine) not actually done it as such, but it is mine, so all future winnings should be handed this way as anyone else winning is a mistake.
I also own Christmas and shall shortly be having it renamed as 665 day.
I also, also own the internet , so if you could just stop putting stuff on it, as I have been saving some space for pictures of my lottery winnings.

MaidenMotherCrone · 05/12/2017 18:54

Here Op have my nail gun ( fucking hardcore) let's give her something to make her shift.

Go on Janet, fucking run now!

GwenStaceyRocks · 05/12/2017 18:56

OP admit it. You're Wendying Janet. First, it's the running. Then it's the staplers. Eventually you'll be running her running club; going for lunch with her friends and poor Janet will have no-one. We see your game Envy

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 05/12/2017 18:57

I own chocolate, but you can borrow it for a fee.
