To have laughed at her Slimming World advice?

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!!

Anyone else remembering vic and bob calling the dove from above??

"coooo coooo"

RosieLemonadeAndSugar · 18/01/2022 15:00

By 'Owl noises' do you mean 'oooooh oooooh' as in in 'ooooh look at me breaking the rules?

Either way that's hilarious. If said in above context I don't think you were being particulary rude, bit childish maybe but aren't we all at times.

This is exactly why I stopped slimming world and started calorie counting. Slimming world is batshit.

OP I am a severe social phobic (properly diagnosed one not self diagnosed) with zero social skills & even I wouldn't 'make owl noises' in someones face to shut them up as it's just weird & rude (both of which I frequently am without intending to be)

I also don't think owls 'coo coo'.

HerRoyalHappiness · 18/01/2022 15:02

@RosieLemonadeAndSugar apparently she cooed which is more pigeon than owl but either way I bet OP was strutting around as if she'd won something major, head bobbing Grin

Thatsplentyjack · 18/01/2022 15:03

@Pikaso

I wasn’t saying cuckoo. It was literally a gentle “coooo coooo … “ just to break her train of thought
What the fuck? You did "coo coo" noises at someone while they were talking, and I not the first time you've done something like this? Confused.
Blondeshavemorefun · 18/01/2022 15:03

@shinynewapple22

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 Wink

Exactly @shinynewapple22

Both were wrong 😂

Tho obv the owl hooting cooing etc was rude

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/01/2022 15:03

Tho if coo wouldn’t that be pigeon noises

SpookyScarySkeletons · 18/01/2022 15:04

@DisappearingGirl

Is the owl noises a typo like "then I snapped and farted"?
I hate to break it to you but that wasn't a typo... she actually snapped and farted.
ZeroFuchsGiven · 18/01/2022 15:04

I think you should stick to Saviary snacks from now on op then she might stop talon you what to do.

TheOriginalEmu · 18/01/2022 15:04

@Gatekeeper

Never heard of anyone doing owl noises before...unless you are an owl of course. Is this a 'thing'?
Owls are allowed extra syns I heard…
Thatsplentyjack · 18/01/2022 15:04

Also, owls don't make a cooo noise.

NotMyselfWithoutCoffee · 18/01/2022 15:04

We need an owl emoji. Bear

CSJobseeker · 18/01/2022 15:04

@Pikaso

I didn’t screech at her, it was just a coo coo type thing
This is ridiculously rude. Please say this isn't something you do to people regularly?
Furries · 18/01/2022 15:05

OP - if you roll-up your trousers, do you have unexpectedly long, thin legs?

MyCatStaresAtMe · 18/01/2022 15:07

The owl & the pussy cat went to see,
What slimming world was all about,
The owl went and bought the wrong muller lights,
And the pussy cat started to shout.

“Buy the right yoghurts!” The cat exclaimed,
Waving her paws all over the place,
The owl refused to see things her way,
And hooted right in her face.

You cooed in her face? Where are you from to think that's normal? Pigeon street?

gamerchick · 18/01/2022 15:14

I know this has been mentioned but I'd be a bit off with someone if they did owl noises in my face. Think I'm going to bear it in mind for future whitterers just to see what they do Grin

united4ever · 18/01/2022 15:15

Like in shallow Hal movie?
