She stole my croissant.

[sparkyspark]

Lighthearted but quietly seething.

Had my lunch break and colleague joined me as she “wanted to get some fresh air”, I said I’m going to this cafe as I’m craving a croissant and she said she’d come with me.

Very busy inside cafe with one table left (no one behind us in the queue) and so I said I’ll go sit at the table and you order your food. When she sat down I got up and ordered mine and was told “the last croissant has just gone”

As I sat back down I told her “so annoying the last croissant has just gone” and she said - yes I know I ordered it.

😠😠😠 (the word croissant has lost all meaning)

Unforgivable

What an outrageous move. She must hate you OP. What was your response?

You snooze you lose. Go order straight away next time.

YANBU

There will be no next time.

Why didn't you order first..

What a witch. Always be the first to order.

Omg I’d be so annoyed! Did she at least offer to share it with you? What did you have instead?

Are you cross….

You didn't tell her you wanted a croissant....so you can't be mad

Read the OP again…

Because life? Because I don’t put that much thought into every single action in my day and some thing are just autopilot.

I didn’t see there was only one croissant. I just said I’ll go sit down and you order - they also have QR codes on the table which I tried whilst waiting and it didn’t work.

Did you actually read the op?

Op yanbu. It's such a nasty childish thing to do

What did you say to her?

Did she fuck. I had a pain au chocolat.

That would really annoy me.

I probably wouldn't say anything but I would hold a mild silence grudge and remember FOREVER.

a similar thing happened to me years ago when I was pregnant with dc1. I’d waited 5.5 years and had ivf and had HG. At a family party I suddenly realised that I fancied a piece of cheesecake and I literally hadn’t eaten properly in weeks I said to dsis ‘im just going to grab that as it looks lovely’ she swept in and took the last bit ?? I thought she was going to pass it to me but she smugly smirked and started eating it with a fork and I don’t know what came over me but I grabbed it and just ate it in about 5 mouthfuls whilst she stood there mouth open

That's terrible! She should have ordered something else and the croissant for you.

Although if I was her, I would have probably ended up looking longingly at your pain au chocolat. I hope that's what happened.

I’d be fuming.

What a weird thing to do though, especially when you said you were craving one.

Cowbag. She might not have realised it was the last when ordering but I'd have offered to swap knowing you'd had croissants on your mind.

Ooh - reminds me of Pat and Margaret except you definitely said you wanted a croissant before you went into.the place.

The bit I don't understand, though, is that anyone can seriously prefer a croissant to a pain chocolat.

I think this is the best comment I've ever read on MN!

The real question is why are you still het up about it? It’s past 9

You should have picked it up of her plate and licked it.

Maybe she took croissant to mean generic pastry and could see that there were other pastries left.
