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!!

Slight but important segue : the t-rexing at the supermarket thread has been TAKEN DOWN.

I just went to scratch the exczema from behind my ear and found some potato salad.

Surely this thread is part of the SaveBigDog campaign, an effort to divert attention from Party, sorry, WorkEventgate?

@DisappearingGirl

Is the owl noises a typo like "then I snapped and farted"?
🤣🤣🤣
Tilltheend99 · 18/01/2022 19:50

You said ‘twit-twoo’ to her!

You sound primary level in every respect. You can’t have ago at her for doing it if you are too.

You just sound awful.

ImTheOnlyUpsyOne · 18/01/2022 19:51

Cooo cooo....i've heard it all now 🤣🤣🤣

WallpaperWonder · 18/01/2022 19:54

It's a good job the OP isn't in NZ: our owl, the ruru, says 'more pork' which can't be good for weight loss.

@AutomaticMoon

But fat doesn’t make you fat! Look up Nina Teicholz on YT or amazon.
Yip - fat makes you full. Sugar makes you fat.

I could never go on a diet which made you eat any kind of diet yoghurt.

Save Big Dog campaign?

For that twit who is in the Coo-conservatives? Is that to stop him getting the bhoot?

specialsauce · 18/01/2022 19:56

Owls don't coooo.

That'll be a pigeon.

Owls twit twoo (tawny) or screeech like a banshee (barn owl)

Can you post a recording of yourself doing it please?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 18/01/2022 19:57

Although I’d pay serious money for him to interrupt that tit Starmer with a well timed owl noise.

Omg why??!! It was so funny

@dexterslockedintheshedagain

Maybe OP is suffering from irritable owl syndrome

I have to say the owl who lives in the tree next to my work makes a coo-coo sounding noise - but more with a soft h.

It is a magnificent beast but you don’t want to see it doing a bit of a fly past to land at 0330. Seeing eyes staring at you from the darkness 30 feet up is a tiny bit disconcerting.

SomeOwlsCoo · 18/01/2022 20:04

Owls do coo.

Would it have been more acceptable if syn woman ate her muller lights with a runcible spoon?

Sweep89 · 18/01/2022 20:05

You made me spit coke all over myself. I'm still sniggering as I type this 🤣

JeffThePilot · 18/01/2022 20:12

@ClawedButler

Ah, I think I can surmise what happened.

Muller Mary: I've let slip about the yoghurts
Pikaso: You twit, to who?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 18/01/2022 20:15

Syn woman may well have a runcible spoon.

OP is known to shovel in her asda yog with this

This thread is hilarious - I'm 'owling!

Runmybathforme · 18/01/2022 20:17

Of course she’s being an idiot, but you were just as stupid. You could have got your point across without being so ignorant.

Potpourri23 · 18/01/2022 20:17

I love this thread so much. "Owl noises" is going to be the new "naice ham". It's about time we got an update 👍

Greenpolkadot · 18/01/2022 20:18

You sound as daft making noises.
