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)

I'd have walked out and left her sitting there

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

But we’re talking about a warmed up one with butter with a cappuccino. Don’t have it often as it’s not exactly lunch but that’s what I was craving today.

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

I see we have an amateur grudge-bearer in our midst. I'd still be quietly fuming about this 30 years hence.

I'd have grabbed it and bitten it. Selfish bitch.

Oh relax, it’s just a lighthearted post, like you really don’t need to take it so seriously.

And it might be after 9 but hey guess what some of us have long 2.5 hour commutes and I didn’t finish work until 6ish and it’s only now that I’m on free time.

The real question is how far up is your stick.

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 absolutely brilliant 🤣 I would have laughed so hard witnessing that.

OP your colleague is a prick, I’d have just walked out and left her there shouting ‘enjoy your fucking croissant!’ 😅

Did I mention this incident actually took place on a wet Thursday afternoon on January 21st 1993?

If it's a REAL croissant then no surprise at all. Trouble is that outside of France, very few "croisssants" qualify as such unless they're made by an actual French baker. Even ruling out that ultimate travesty, the margarine croissant, they usually have about half the butter necessary so the dough is firm rather than soft and flaky.

Rant over.

Almond croissants are my favourite. I once had a chocolate almond croissant. It was wonderful.

Because you ate her croissant.

Wictc · 13/02/2024 21:44

Who puts butter on a croissant? I’m glad she took the last one 😂

Justrolledmyeyesoutloud · 13/02/2024 21:46

Bloody hell l would never go to lunch with her again!! Ever!

QueenBean22 · 13/02/2024 21:46

As a butter croissant lover I’m also fuming about this

Is that why they look at me like I'm some weird thing when I ask for butter with mine?

TheTimeIsNowMaybeNow · 13/02/2024 21:48

That's a serious piss take, who does that! Well, some twat you work with obviously but bloody hell 🤣

coldcallerbaiter · 13/02/2024 21:50

Usually when something runs out then they bring another tray of it. Did friend know it was the last one?

You are a legend!

I can't believe she ate that croissant

What?! Who doesn’t put butter on a croissant?! Is this not normal? Even the croissant stealer put butter on it.

OP you should have coughed on the croissant oops accidentally on purpose.
