She claims to run a farm must be some way of proving .. is a Christain goes to church but supports various non christain ethics

Why let it bother you so much? Delete the emails, smile and nod when she talks and just put her out of your mind.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 15/11/2018 17:27

I did NOT know that gin was not vegan so this has been educational.

I would probably just ignore her tbh.

EmmaGeddon · 15/11/2018 17:29

What animal products are in gin?

JiltedJohnsJulie · 15/11/2018 17:35

Seems like most Gins are vegan. If you’ve got that wrong, you might want to start examining your other prejudices about her.

OccularPatdown · 15/11/2018 17:42

Most gins and lots of drinks from bar taps are vegan FYI. Just delete the emails without reading them? Stop thinking about them so much?

BerylStreep · 15/11/2018 17:49

Just add a rule to your e-mail that puts her e-mails into a separate folder.

As a newbie, you probably aren't aware that MN doesn't really do lols, but it's not a term I generally see in too many posts.

ScreamingValenta · 15/11/2018 17:50

Pretend to take them seriously, and email back with annoying questions. E.g. (this was the first inspirational quote to come up when I Googled)

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall

Dear colleague. I'm really interested by that quote! But could you clarify what people should do if they intentionally fall, e.g. what should a a free-fall parachutist do? And when you say 'glory' do you mean that in the Biblical or modern sense?

whyamialive · 16/11/2018 21:13

Sorry let me clarify not all drinks are vegan she drinks wine beer from taps .. cider ..gin..No not are stouts and beers are vegan .. Animal derived products used in the production of alcohol include; Albumin – derived from egg whites (may be caged eggs); Casein – Protein derived from milk; Chitin – derived from the shells of crabs, lobsters, etc; Gelatine – from bones and connective tissues of cows or pigs; Isinglass - obtained from fish swim bladders.

Its not about what she drinks its the patronising emails .. so she works 40 hours plus 8 hours travel to and from work yet runs a sheep and pig farm single handed I can tell you it is b Running a farm full time job .. she spends a lot of her time out of work at christain meetings or in the pub my objections are that she projects she is s saint and soo good allowed to get away with things NOT allowed in work.

Berylstreep yes MN uses lol plenty you musn't have been reading same threads as me rest no as said not all drinks vegan a good chance most spirits but not etc .. Its her patronising emails I don't want yo read chicken soup for the soul etc and it should not be rammed in people's faces

BerylStreep · 16/11/2018 21:20

Ok Op, I bow to your superior knowledge Hmm

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 16/11/2018 21:25

Yeah really MN is not the place for “lol”. Maybe stay away from AIBU with that.

I really don’t think this is the issue you think it is. Just delete her emails. Don’t even read them. You’re giving her way too much headspace.

BerylStreep · 16/11/2018 22:31

And while I'm at it, numerous ellipsis don't really compensate for lack of punctuation elsewhere or using paragraphs.

I genuinely post this in the spirit of being helpful, as if you don't punctuate and do paragraphs correctly it just ends up with people finding your posts difficult to follow and your message getting lost

HTH

whyamialive · 21/11/2018 13:42

Berly you must be of a certain age just trying to help.. grammar has changed its called softspeak .. look it up plus text speak app speak.. you really are lost the context of my post is not lost .. noone in work is allowed to global their thoughts of the day .. barr one .. who claims to be ethical farmer .. farm work is not part time why would a vegan farm pigs and sheep ... vegan drinks beer cider and non vegan stout...vegan calls her self christain yet has no respect for others .. ethical about clothes yet wears plastic .. she is a liar and ramming her opinion down others throats ..I don't care about her opion its the carte blanche she is ramming her fake opion down peoples throats

whyamialive · 21/11/2018 13:45

You are the one who has lost point on about grammar and use of lol really get with it!!

OP posts:
BerylStreep · 23/11/2018 09:05

Grin ok. Let us know how the softspeak works out for you on MN.

PoisonousSmurf · 23/11/2018 09:11

Is the OP batshit?

Iamnotacerealkiller · 23/11/2018 09:29

"You are the one who has lost point on about grammar and use of lol really get with it!!"

I literally don't understand what this means. Your other posts are rather difficult to unpick too. The time you save avoiding punctuation is time everyone else has to waste trying to read/re-read what you are saying.

In answer to your question, why is she allowed to email everyone at all? Not sure what her lifestyle has to do with it. Surely your managers can recognise how unfair this is.

Have you asked her what the pig farm is for? they can only really be used for meat (unlike sheep) so not exactly a vegan farm.

GemmeFatale · 23/11/2018 09:37

I think we’ve discovered the OP is actually the annoying coworker if she uses ‘soft speak’ (aka unreadable grammar free text) at work.

OP. This is mumsnet. Most of us are ‘of a certain age’ (ie over 18 for the most part). If you’re too lazy to use real sentences and want someone to consider that cool and modern you need a younger (and maybe less educated) audience.

Justchillalready · 23/11/2018 16:09

Without wishing to sound nasty (I truly am not trying to be) it really is difficult to understand your post but I think I get the gist.

Block the emails if they offend you.

Hwory · 23/11/2018 16:15

You sound like an unintelligent melt.

U ok hun?

whyamialive · 27/11/2018 21:55

So one person got it vegan has a pig farm!! Rest on about grammar and nasty comments .. clearly are not aware its mumsnet not the WI
