I work with a work colleague on a one to one basis however I think she’s lied to me about having 2 dogs (she does have 1) as well as to various other work colleagues.

OP posts:

Why would she lie
Why would you care
Why does it matter

Padz12 · 18/04/2026 10:12

And? What’s the rest of the story?

shockthemonkey · 18/04/2026 10:12

For those asking for diagrams, I’d need the OP to confirm but does this sum it up?

The dog jumped over the moon and the dish ran away with the spoon. The end.

Keep your head down, beak out and get on with your job, that's all you have to do.

And? Get a life

BillieWiper · 18/04/2026 10:34

Why would it make any difference how many dogs she has?

She's got at least one so she has 'dogs'. I fail to see why she'd lie but also why you'd care.

101, at least.

You can get in trouble for using the Dalmations line if it's not an emergency. Honestly we should just join the dots here and realise this situation is barking mad. Or perhaps the OP should call a dogtor and get a Lab report on the alleged dogs(s).

Right, I'm off to have a nice cup of Earl Greyhound. Toodle-pip!

A dog's life ?

I remember a colleague once not believing I was married as I didn’t wear an engagement or wedding ring and never spoke about my DH.

Making me wonder if she took to social media to question whether my DH existed…

So why are you up to figh doh about it?

thebrollachan · 17/04/2026 21:39

Is one of her dogs two guinea pigs in a trench coat?

🤣

DuckyDolittle · 18/04/2026 10:40

Guys don't engage this was a reverse. It was written by two dogs who are lying about having an owner.

Hobbes8 · 17/04/2026 21:35

Based on the info given, I think you're right. She's definitely lying.

Totally agree. The signs are all there that this is a blatant lie.

You could report it to police 101 just so they can "log it".

Now I get it!

I think its wierd if your colleague has lied but im surprised its bothering you enough to post a thread on here

BillieWiper · 18/04/2026 10:43

Tryanalogue · 18/04/2026 10:38

Is 'figh doh' the name of the dog?

Tell me you've missed the premise of this thread without telling me you've missed the premise of this thread.

She's definitely lying.

Thanks to all the earlier posters who have made me laugh 😆 This thread has the vibe of mumsnet from a decade ago and is really refreshing.
