Am I being over sensitive? With what my colleague said?

[Applecherry9]

I work in a school. Got there this morning and hair etc was a bit wet from walking in. My colleague said ‘bit soggy applecherry9?’ Then I said yeah etc. she said soggy doggy, in sort of like a playful voice. She has one of those voices that’s like she’s talking to children all the time if that makes sense. Aibu to think she was aiming this at me and saying I’m a dog/ugly?

Where I was brought up 'soggy doggy' was something that lots of people would say when you got wet. It wouldn't be one person just making it up in the spot, it was a regular comment when anyone got soaking wet.

Maybe she's from the same area.

Waaaaay overthinking this. I work with kids, I rhyme crap and say stupid shit all the time without thinking. I called my best friend a silly goose the other day ffs. It is a something and nothing comment

You can’t really think soggy doggy means she was saying you were dog ugly. That’s an unbelievable reach.

Probably meant nothing unless you know she has form for putting you down.

Even if she did mean somthing mean? do you really care what she thinks?

I sometimes forget when I am at work that I’m not at home with my kids. Oh look at that - a rainbow! Oh byesy-bye. Are you feeling ty-ty? Probably more confusing if you actually work with children. Besides, I LIKE soggy doggy (prefer wet bitch obv.). I wouldn’t take it to heart OP!!

I think particularly when you work with children it’s easy to forget yourself.
A colleague of mine once said “Ssshhhh, use your indoor voice!” before remembering she was talking to a parent.

Don't be soft.

You were soggy and it rhymes. Some people like that.

Soggy doggy is a common phrase people use to each other if you got wet in the rain in my circle. It's affectionate not nasty

I think if she spends her time talking to small children that's probably just where her brain went because it rhymes. I wouldn't take offence unless she has form

Soggy Doggy is a children's board game, and it's an easy rhyme.

She was perhaps being a bit awkward but you're completely overthinking it and being extremely sensitive.

This made me laugh

She sounds a bit daft and you sound way over sensitive. Yabu 🙂

I'm surprised so many people here haven't heard the expression before. If I get a bit drenched and arrive somewhere I might say "I'm a bit of a soggy doggy" and hadn't realised some people might think it odd. I don't work with children and don't generally use rhyming speech, I thought that was a common expression, it's obviously regional

🤣🤣🤣 I’m in bed sick and this made my day! Thanks

Soggy Doggy is a kids game, the dog shakes water all over the players.

You're overthinking it.

You are massively over reacting

Some people use that phrase

It’s also a popular kids game. My kids had it

You're overthinking (unless youre about to dripfeed tell us a big backstory?)

Soggy doggy just rhymes like unlucky mcducky or whatever

Women calling other women dogs to mean unattractive is SO unusual IME, so chances are very slim that she was saying that...unless she's 13 maybe

You’re welcome 🧙‍♀️😆

Get well soon 💐

Oversensitive & overthinking.

If it help OP last week I told my clients in a serious meeting that it did sound like they were in a bit of a pickle. Not my best moment..!

Yabu I highly doubt she was calling you a bitch she just spends to much time with 4 year olds so sometimes forgets when she's talking to an adult

The fact that your colleague kept going after your initial reply suggests that she is either (a) a low key bitch or (b) very insensitive. It is impossible to judge without knowing what she is like generally. Unfortunately, it could well be (a).

Thanks for the laugh 😃
