Page 10 | She stole my croissant.

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)

@NaughtyBoyGeorgeMichaelJacksonBrown family behaviour around vegetarians needs a while thread on its own!

Newsenmum · 14/02/2024 12:43

lol that’s so rude of her!

Urgh, can relate. My family are nothing but disapproving of me being vegetarian but when it comes to dinners in or out they all want to try 'just a bit' of mine. Particularly lovely when they take a huge chunk, declare it disgusting and waste it. I don't see them that often ;)

This reminds me of being in a shop with one of my friends well over a decade ago, and spotting some beautiful shoes that were completely up my alley and EXACTLY what I'd been coveting for ages. Which she knew. I was so excited and we started checking the boxes for my size but they didn't have any in stock 😪 But they had her size so the fucker bought a pair for herself. I still seethe.

Moonwatcher1234 · 14/02/2024 12:54

Why is this thread making me laugh so much? I think it’s the OP’s hangry energy. I understand as a fellow hangry person - hope OP gets her croissant today.

Asiatoyork · 14/02/2024 13:00

She’d be dead to me.

Also, I am a fancy hotel and I am going to go ALL IN in on the croissants at the breakfast tomorrow.

Completely on your side OP!

DS1 is quite severely autistic. Years ago, when he was 5 or 6, we lived in a little village where the cafe did the most phenomenal apple flapjacks. It was our after school treat. We stood in the queue and could see about 10 on the plate in the glass counter thingy. DS1 was very loudly chattering away about his apple flapjack so probably everyone in the entire cafe knew why we were there. Woman immediately in front of us in the queue says to the cafe person “I’ll have all of the apple flapjacks please”. She took all 10 and walked off with them whilst DS1 was screaming, wailing, punching me, having the mother of all autistic meltdowns because now he couldn’t have one. It was a long and violent walk home.

I hope she enjoyed her ten apple flapjacks. DS1 is 18 now and I still sometimes think of her.

What the hell is wrong with some people? She obviously just did that out of spite. 😢

BarbieDangerous · 14/02/2024 13:12

This is the greatest thread ever😂😂😂😂 the fact that OP has clap backed at posters and her posts have been deleted, has made this even funnier.

I’d never speak to that person again but I am very petty. How very dare they

Next time you have to dine with these food stealers, tell them beforehand that nobody is "tasting" your food. If they want "just a bit" let them order/provide their own plate to share - not pinch yours. That will go down like a lead balloon the first time, and/or they'll think you're joking but let them know you're not. 🌹

What an absolute bitch. I hope she choked on them.

Did you get a croissant this lunchtime @sparkyspark ?

MaybeBabynotsure · 13/02/2024 21:16

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

As a fellow HG human .. I am so so happy you did this! I wish you had video footage . I told my MIL if she even thought to touch my food it would be the last thing she’d do 😂😅

Morechocmorechoc · 14/02/2024 21:24

@sparkyspark that was really rude and unnecessary. I read it wrong, sorry I'm not a perfect human being. I then said I agreed with you and she was bu taking your croissant. Whats the issue to be so mean to a stranger on the Internet.

I’ve never seen anyone put butter on a croissant. Do you put butter on a pain au chocolat too? What about a pain au raisin?

Is there an overlap of people who put butter on croissants, those who like pigs in blankets (have to say I’m more of a chipolata fan with my Christmas dinner), and those who have roast potatoes and mash on a roast dinner?

Show quote history

I put butter on a croissant as I like the sweet and salty contrast. I don't generally eat those other pastries but I don't think their taste/texture would go with butter.

I'm a vegetarian so don't eat pigs in blankets and never had mash with a roast.

That has broken my heart a little bit. Your poor DS. And mine, who is much the same, would have been inconsolable too.

GlomOfNit · 14/02/2024 23:34

OP may be a bit salty but who can blame her? she's in the throes of some really vicious croissant withdrawal symptoms.

I have nothing to add here of any substance, but:
a) I would never be going for lunch or a coffee with Croissant Cuunt again.
b) I would be devising brave punishments for her. She would rue the day.
c) It isn't entirely to my taste to add butter to an already deliciously buttery croissant, OP, but you are clearly a croissantaholic like I am, so you do you. I know my stance on croissants is a tad eccentric anyway - I prefer them cold but crisp, eaten by peeling the layers off, and I would never, ever, jam them. That's fine, there's room for all of us in Creation.

One day I left a bottle of Coke Zero in the work communal fridge as it was 2 for something so bought one for that day and one for the next day I fancied one. Needless to say someone took it. No clue who, I even put a teams out. Ido not use that fridge anymore…

Ilovetea33 · 15/02/2024 16:39

Now you've made me want a Coke Zero. I don't have any, so a Pepsi Max will have to do.

Am I the only one who would love to know what @sparkyspark wrote that got deleted?

Of course, she is a bit testy. Croissant theft should be punishable by having to drink 4 oz. of castor oil!

The witch that bought all the apple flapjacks just to be a jerk, should have to drink a quart of the stuff.
