AIBU to think my colleague is lying about having two dogs?

[Sam155320]

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.

This has got to be the best bad joke I’ve ever heard 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it.

Why do you give a toss?

Hahahahahaha

I'm afraid I also don't believe you're married, unless you start saying 'the hubster' every day 😊

My colleagues didn’t believe me that I had a child and unbeknownst to me were all talking about it behind my back.

When I found out I would intentionally be really cagey and only mention them at certain times and change the conversation if they brought them up.

I thought it was so funny as it was something that I could easily prove but I didn’t because I thought that they are the weird ones for assuming someone would lie - that would never cross my mind.

There was that Greek mythological dog that has two heads. Maybe she has one of those?

If it is the only thing you think is lied about, then that's just sad. You should be concerned if it is part of a wider pattern and could affect your work.

The “however” in the OP has me howling

nobody owns a cat.

So much this!
Even down to the bemused, humourless posters not joining in!

I used to work with someone who lied about her dog being dead (had a photo of it, talked about it fondly etc)… turned out she’d had to re home it (for perfectly respectable reasons) but she was so embarrassed she pretended it was dead. 😵

I learned that day that people are weird about dogs!

To be honest they're the best ones!!!

Have you checked out her facebook and instagram for evidence of just one dog ?

i would hide in the bushes with a camera to get enough evidence then stage an intervention

Jokes aside it’s scary that there are colleagues like OP.

What, people who start threads on here which take the piss out of all the myriad pointless other threads on here?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, people who are so invested and suspicious of their colleagues.

people who start threads on here which take the piss out of all the myriad pointless other threads on here?

How would I know that? What are you on about?

Maybe she owns one dog and the dog is the owner of the other dog.

🤣🤣🤣

The OP wasn't serious about the colleague and the dogs.
It's a joke thread.

Any will do

Does the prime minister know? How soon can we get a cobra meeting called?

How would everyone know? What’s the point of having a go at people who don’t know, like the pp did to me?

Maybe she's claiming benefits for the second imaginary dog. Or it's an illegal immigrant like a Portuguese Water Dog or German Shepherd.
(what else makes MN froth?...)

Anton du Bark??
