Woman at work has been doing Slimming World. She’s obsessed with it and goes on about it constantly armed with her books and Muller Lights at every meal.
I told her last week I was going to give it a go. I didn’t buy Muller Lights but instead bought some asda own yogurts which had almost identical calorie, fat and sugar content. Sat down to eat lunch yesterday and she came in and said “I thought you were doing slimming world?”. I said “I am” so she said “how many syns in those yogurts?” So I said “none, they’re the same as muller lights”. She replied “no, you’re meant to eat Muller lights!” And looked really concerned and worried!! I did owl noises in her face and told her the calories, sugar and fat etc were exactly the same so why would it matter??! She actually left the room muttering about how it won’t work if you don’t do it properly.
I did slimming world a few years back and stopped because of the cult like behaviour of the members and leaders. I thought I’d give it another go but she has totally put me off again! Nothing has changed!!
She’s been off with me ever since. WIBU to have laughed at her muller light concerns?? Common sense tells you it’s the calories etc that matter, not the bloody name on the pot!!
Am I being unreasonable?

You made owl noises in her face?

YABU
If only for going all owl on her arse.
Common sense wise you are of course right.
Just shite to laugh at her.

Owl noises 
what on earth?????
Whammyyammy · 18/01/2022 13:08
All valid points. But Owl noises? Random
Gatekeeper · 18/01/2022 13:08
Never heard of anyone doing owl noises before...unless you are an owl of course. Is this a 'thing'?

Agree!
Op you were really rude to her, even if common sense says you are right.

It was just so daft!! She’s an intelligent person, I couldn’t believe she was so brainwashed to think that the brand mattered!

I’m just here for the owl... noises
LadyPenelope68 · 18/01/2022 13:10
You made owl noises in her face??? How incredibly rude and childish. Sounds like you need to grow up a bit.
Footprintsinthegrass · 18/01/2022 13:10
I guess in theory you're not wrong but your behaviour sounds mean
JolkienRolkienRolkienTolkien · 18/01/2022 13:10
What sort of owl noises did you make? A gentle 'twit-twoo' or a full on screech?
Pikaso · 18/01/2022 13:10
How was I rude?? I was just pointing out the facts! It’s calories that matter (and I suppose in slimming world - the fat content) but it was practically identical to muller light!
DisappearingGirl · 18/01/2022 13:10
Is the owl noises a typo like "then I snapped and farted"?
coffeepleeease · 18/01/2022 13:11
Why owl noises though?
shinynewapple22 · 18/01/2022 13:11
Well obviously you are unreasonable to make owl noises in her face .
And you are both unreasonable about the SW as none of the flavoured yogurts are 'free' any more - just the plain flat free ones 
SummerHouse · 18/01/2022 13:11
Do you mean you hooted? In her face? You know you are supposed to do hyeena or it doesn't work.
TeaSoakedDisasterMagnet · 18/01/2022 13:11
Owl noises? Did you twit twoo at her? That’s more batshit than believing you need to eat muller lights.
CSJobseeker · 18/01/2022 13:11
Owl noises?! WTAF?
She is obvs silly about the Muller Light, but YABU for behaving like a weirdo making owl noises.
HoldingTheDoor · 18/01/2022 13:11
It was just so daft!!
And making owl noises in her face isn't?
CiaoForDiNiaoSaur · 18/01/2022 13:11
Is making owl noises in someone's face like t-rexing at the supermarket?

Laughing at someone is rude.

I am guessing she is off with you because you were rude to her rather than because of slimming world.

Is that true? I’ve not actually joined up, I’m just relying on her advice and books!
