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)

Thanks for explaining how cafes work.

A croissant is (or should be) 99% butter already - it doesn’t need more!

Totally on your side re croissantgate though. Fuming on your behalf.

I'm sorry to hear of your croissant dilemma...

I too had one the other weekend, my own fault though I guess. DH had brought me one back from being out with DC1. I took a nap whilst DC2 was having a nap.

DH joined me for 5mins as I was waking up, leaving DC1 happily watching Bluey. The little shit loveable little DC1 only went and ate mine!!! (After having their own!). Moral of the story - don't leave toddlers alone with tasty treats!

You can never have enough butter, just like you can never have enough cheese.

1. why are you so meek you wouldn’t just say something? Not something aggressive but just….something
2. who eats a pain au chocolat for lunch?
3. No-one puts butter on a croissant as it’s made with butter pastry

This is so true

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Oh this is not a RL dilemma then, re work colleague?

It just has to be lighthearted jokey answers that you approve of!

From the OP (which really wasn't difficult to read and understand)

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.

If there was another cafe nearby I think I'd have walked out and left the greedy cow to choke on her stolen croissant!

Only po-faced, joyless freaks think a croissant already has enough butter. It’s like saying a cake doesn’t need icing because it has sugar in it.

I want to be your best friend

Yes and they normally go and get another tray. It’s a business. That is not hard to understand.

If this constitutes a real life dilemma then…

Are you ok?

You should’ve cried. She wouldn’t be able to enjoy her stolen croissant with your snotty tear stained face across the table.

I mean you’re the one getting her knickers in a twist over your original comment, so ask yourself if you’re ok love.

Revenge must be served! With a side helping of butter.

I put butter AND apricot jam on croissants.
And now I want a croissant. Damn.

No, she isn’t ok, her croissant was stolen!

op yanbu I would be fuming too. I think colleague is exceptionally rude.

also I put butter on croissants. Those that don’t do you just munch them plain? Do you put jam on them?

Yes, she did!

I think you should have acted a sudden and uncontrollable sneezing fit across the table.

What a CF! If I'd been her I'd have said 'I saw they only had one croissant left so I bought it for you before someone else grabbed it'

Not my comment. Another poster got savaged by you! You’ve decided something must happened in their life…comments like that on a ‘lighthearted “ thread aren’t normal.

Outrageous behaviour. I’d be plotting to get her sacked OP, she deserves it
