To have laughed at her Slimming World advice?

831 replies

Pikaso · 18/01/2022 13:04

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!!

@ChargingBuck A spreadsheet is required to see that there are multiple comments after mine and that I was no longer participating in the thread? I had given it a rest. You addressed me and I responded to you. You’re now calling me bossy whilst simultaneously dictating what I should do, so this is getting odder by the minute. Are you day drinking or just a bit unhinged?

I was perfectly happy to exchange posts with pp. I don’t particularly want to talk to you, but you seem to be a bit obsessed with me. Perhaps you should give it a rest. I’m now going to ignore you.

Somethingsnappy · 20/01/2022 15:13

@ChargingBuck, well said! I'll join the howl chorus if necessary. Kind of twilight barking style. One way of communicating during isolation! Grin

ChargingBuck · 20/01/2022 15:44

You didn't need to respond to me in the first place @Saysama.
I'd kinda hoped you would just do what was asked & give it a rest by stopping needling Pikaso & not responding to me, but you couldn't manage that, so here we are now ...

And my request for you to give it a rest has nowt to do with whether you considered yourself to be participating. Because you being offline has no bearing on the fact that you had posted so rudely while online.

So I'm gonna just hoooooooooooooooooooooooooowl now with my new buddy @Somethingsnappy, & hope that you finally find it within yourself to ignore me Grin

Somethingsnappy · 20/01/2022 15:54

@ChargingBuck, I hear you! I joined in...my baby laughed at me. This thread is definitely making lots of people happy... Grin

LilyMumsnet · 20/01/2022 16:00

Hey folks

Can we draw a line and move on, now?
Peace and love.

One for classic *@mnhq* , if only for Irritable Owl Syndrome
Oh please no. It's like penis beaker but shittier. Such a fucking staged OP!
ChargingBuck · 20/01/2022 16:10

@lilymumsnet

Yes ma'am. I will give it a rest.

Acommonreader · 20/01/2022 16:27

I’d really like to thank the OP for this as I’ve been a bit fed up today and am now properly laughing at my kitchen table about owl noises. Cheered me right up.

Did you say you'll give it a nest?

Omicrone · 20/01/2022 17:08

I can't really be arsed to read this whole thread, but kind of want to know if this thread got the many responses and kicked off because of people arguing about whether Slimming World is a load of shit or not, or because of 'owl noises'.

I find myself nodding.

And pushing down my inner Nan.

FangsForTheMemory · 20/01/2022 17:48

Owl noises are the new snapped and farted. Apologies if someone has already said that, but I didn't want to read through 32 pages of people going 'OWL noises? WTF??'

ChargingBuck · 20/01/2022 18:03

@BABAHOTEL groan! Grin

@saysama
Give it a rest

Saysama · 20/01/2022 22:37

@Jacketpotato84 Sweet Jesus. I haven’t posted for hours. This thread has been closed for hours. You give it a rest. Go to bed, ffs.

winewolfhowls · 20/01/2022 22:53

Give it a nest must surely be the winner of the thread. Madam, i salute you.

@CiaoForDiNiaoSaur

That’s a Pigeon. Owls go Twit Twoo. If you’re gonna make random bird noises at least get the species right.

^^

Technically the Twit Twoo is made by a male and a female tawny owl calling to each other. Other species of owl say other things, including coo. (Owls were DS2S obsession for a while)

Or did you twit at her? 😳 That’s plain rude if you did.
