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?

PunkrockerGirl59 · 05/12/2017 20:39

Janet can fuck right off.
I own daytime telly and the afternoon Christmas films on Channel 5 are mine and PunkCat's alone. So piss off with your crazy exercise madness Grin

gingergenius · 05/12/2017 20:39

I think Janet is going to be the new Wendy!!!

gingergenius · 05/12/2017 20:40

And can fuck off, because I OWN Christmas!

Apparently my sil owns a certain breed of dog. She is 'not pleased' (fucking raging Grin,that my lovely dsis who has had the worst fucking 18 months possible, has bought a puppy of the same breed that sil owns.

When I say owns she didn't actually have that breed of dog. Never even mentioned it that I have heard. But apparently it's 'her' breed and now she has had to go out and spend 2k. To buy the dog she already 'owns' but doesn't actually own.

My team member Janets veganism. She’s been it since before time began and everyone else is shit at it. I have to hide my cheese sandwich.

ItsNachoCheese · 05/12/2017 20:49

frouby whats the breed? Grin

Eatalot · 05/12/2017 20:53

Damn it Janet!!!

Frouby · 05/12/2017 20:53

nachos it's French Bulldogs.

You know. One of the most popular breeds right now.

My mam pulled her up the other day and told her that actually me and my mam own frenchies because we liked them before anyone else ever. Before they were popular. Before they were in t shirts and mugs and teenage stationary. Because when I was about 7 I had a book of dog breeds and me and my mam liked them then.

So they are actually mine. I own frenchies.

There was a running woman in my old workplace. Let's call her Carol.
I lost a lot of weight and started running. Carol was fine about it. But the rest of them were Janets about it and only Carol owned running. I made them all sponsor my charity 10k run. Fucking reverse Janets.

seagreengirl · 05/12/2017 20:59

I thought my MIL owned most of these things, she definitely owns holidays!!

ItsNachoCheese · 05/12/2017 20:59

frouby tell your sil you own them and she has to give you hers as its the law since you own them 😉

ForgivenessIsDivine · 05/12/2017 20:59

I love that this could become a MN secret code like Wendy...

LetsSplashMummy · 05/12/2017 21:00

My Janet owned getting pregnant, everyone else she knew (all mid 30s) just wanted a baby because she was having one. They were just copying HER idea!!!

ForagingForFaerieGold · 05/12/2017 21:01

Meh she can have it. I don't run. Especially not too soon after dinner

I don't own anything ☹

QueenOfThorns · 05/12/2017 21:10

Hands off, Foraging, I own not owning anything. So there!

AmeliaFlashtart · 05/12/2017 21:12

Don't do what my friend at work did put her name in the hat for the running club London Marathon ticket to pee the club Janet off. She won it - lol!

Frouby · 05/12/2017 21:12

I nearly did Nachos. The puppy is adorable but the dog I do own, owns me and the sofa and all the food so would eat the frenchie puppy.

She would totally own it too Grin

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 05/12/2017 21:16

A woman I work with has Janeted having a baby.

DoctorTwo · 05/12/2017 21:25

I borrowed running a couple of weeks ago to catch a train. I didn't ask Janets permission, so technically I stole it. I did leave it within 200 metres of where I nicked it from, so I hope she accepts my sincere apology. Sad

Janetsadick · 05/12/2017 21:25

Ha I’d forgotten my mate who Janeted Portugal.

Yep. The WHOLE country. Anyone else who went there was just copying her.

@Frouby, I own Jack Russells. All of them. So there.

I also own tracksuit bottoms with chewed ankles and deafness caused by constant exposure to high pitched yapping.

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 05/12/2017 21:31

DH is dreadful for Janeting stuff. He has most recently Janetted cats.

MammaTJ · 05/12/2017 21:31
