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 thought it was going to be about one of those really irritating people (people doesn't sound right - should it be persons?)

Bastards. Really irritating bastards Grin

I would laugh and say she sounds like my young nephew who thinks all birthdays and birthday presents are his.

Nervous I own whippets. And a very small corner of the sofa and all food Up High. As well as frenchies. But I like jrts so might own them too.

In fact I own Dogs. All of them. Except maybe big ones. Cos poo.

Don't want to own all the big poo.

Justabadwife · 05/12/2017 21:51

Janet can keep her running. Mainly because i can't lend you a stapler because mine doesn't work and stationary Janet wont let me have a new one.
'Can I have a new stapler please, this one is just chewing staples'
'No, here's some new staples though'
'Fuck off Janet and stop Janetting the staplers you didn't buy them'

JanetStWalker · 05/12/2017 21:52

This thread? I own it.

DancingOnParsnips · 05/12/2017 21:52

PanPan 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!! Absolutely That is so what I was dying to type before stupidity came along

PasstheStarmix · 05/12/2017 21:53

Who the fuck is Janet?

PasstheStarmix · 05/12/2017 21:54

Alice doesn't even know!Grin

TheLuminaries · 05/12/2017 21:55

My mate had a boss that owned hillwalking - he was doing all the munros in Scotland. My mate is a super experienced walker and climber who has walked and climbed just about everywhere. But no, boss man owned it and had to patronisingly explain to her about all his walks and navigating and shit. I don't know ho she kept her cool.

So Janet may own running but I know of a man who owns walking. So I have to hop everywhere.

gingergenius · 05/12/2017 21:55

@TheSassyAssassin Grin

DancingOnParsnips · 05/12/2017 21:57

My Janet owns fucking being busy. She and Janet are cunts.

Pluckedpencil · 05/12/2017 22:00

My Janet had a larger remit. She did triathlons, and therefore owned all of exercise. I was fine by that because I want no part in it. It was much much worse if you professed an interest. A bit like talking to someone on a diet, who just has to preach about it to you. Yes, very happy for you etc etc, but just please piss of so I can eat snickers and drink too much wine in peace.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 05/12/2017 22:02

I own facial hair

Oh - this lot must be yours, then Frumpety.

Yes! - I OWN WHISTLING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And NO-ONE is allowed to whistle. NOT EVEN ME!

Because I HATE whistling.

I bloody hate it!

I have locked whistling in a soundproof cupboard and put the key in an iron box and dropped it into the Marianas Trench.

PasstheStarmix · 05/12/2017 22:02

Tell it to Chuck Norris Janet...he runs marathons on his tip toes and eats a steak at the finish line while waiting for you to catch up....

Nervousrex · 05/12/2017 22:02

@Frouby - fiiiine.

But I own aardvarks.

I AM the Aardvark Whisperer.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 05/12/2017 22:05

I shared the recipe with another colleague once

NEVER share a recipe without adding a tbs of sennspods to the list of ingredients.

McBinkers · 05/12/2017 22:05

I think Janet is my sister, always complaining someone stole her hair colour, her favourite tv show, her new band etc. Gets fucking old quick

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 05/12/2017 22:06

stationary Janet is presumably not a runner Wink

TheSassyAssassin · 05/12/2017 22:07

Xmas Grin Moving bada-bing!

gingergenius · 05/12/2017 22:09

And, I think it's important to say that I own gingerness.just putting it out there!

Originalfoogirl · 05/12/2017 22:09

Well, if that’s the rule, I own Paris. Boooyah!
