Page 6 | She stole my croissant.

sparkyspark · 2024-02-13T21:05:13+00:00

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 am SO happy you did that!

It was probably the best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life! (it was white chocolate and caramel and had little fudge cubes on top). I think I was somewhat temporarily possessed though and must have looked absolutely crazy 😂😂😂

Put a complaint into HR about her…

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

Well done @MaybeBabynotsure
I hope it taught your DSis to be more polite and thoughtful, especially with you.

Of course it’s ok to put butter on croissants, it’s a texture thing as much as for flavour.

The only time I don’t add butter to croissants is when I’m dipping them into condensed milk.

weirdoboelady · 13/02/2024 21:20

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

Right. This is my point.

I thought this thread was supposed to be light-hearted. That comment is just plain nasty OP.

Show quote history

It’s a fair comment this, OP. Your replies to some people have come across quite agressive, which was a bit jarring after the good-natured tone of your first post?! Maybe the croissant incident really put you in a worse mood than it first seemed! I think that is why people are a bit puzzled.

Karmaisagod · 14/02/2024 00:30

OP, you had me totally in your corner at your colleague's sheer crust and audacity, but you've started to come across as not very likeable, sadly, and now I'm wondering if she didn't do it deliberately just to piss you off. Just don't let her make you a hot drink in the office, is all I'm saying.

Cheesecake lady, on the other hand - you win this thread hands down.

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

I'm also on team "you snooze you lose". Unless the croissant had a sign on it saying "reserved for Notimeforaname" then it was up for grabs.

I would have been raging!

I also put butter on warm croissants.
If it’s a cold croissant I like some Nutella on it. That’s way superior to a pain au chocolat!

You have to try the pistachio version, then! It's amaaazing! 😋😋😋

eilaka · 14/02/2024 01:20

Hmmmmmm

i know it’s lighthearted, but I think that’s some shitty selfish behaviour from her. You said you were craving a croissant - you told her - and shesaw there was one left and took it! Then ate it in front of you!! I don’t think this is the behaviour of a fundamentally decent person. It’s the behaviour of a bratty bitch.

i would forever think of her as the croissant cunt

and I wouldn’t associate with her any more than was necessary for harmonious working as I think the behaviour marks her out as a twat.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Good for you, serves her right!

Back to the OP, I like croissants heated with butter. So delicious, I wish I had one now!

AcridAndStanLee · 14/02/2024 02:23

What the actual fuck?! She's either malicious or stupid as fuck. Honestly, I couldn't tolerate that sort of behaviour. I know you say lighthearted but she took all the joy out of it. She'd be cut out.

I'd be really cross...aint.

Wow that sounds tough! Fancy getting in the way of a woman who'd gone through this!

Your DSis was very lucky not to have lost a finger or two. Her surprise at your action must have made the cheesecake taste even better. 🌹

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

Do people have to come onto MN and post within 5 minutes of the situation happening? Some people have a life that means they only make a post once they’re at home and settled….

I have nothing useful to add to the thread that hasn't already been said. I'm just here for the OP's sass Can we be friends?

Christ, you people who don’t understand why you’d put butter on a croissant must lose your god damn minds when you encounter pigs in blankets.

Yes

Tatonka · 14/02/2024 04:51

Petty (of me), but wow what a bitch. I honestly don't think I could actually even bother speaking to this person again

AllThePotatoesAreSinging · 14/02/2024 04:58

What sort of sicko doesn’t put butter on a croissant??

mjf981 · 14/02/2024 05:07

I'd have said 'I told you I was craving a croissant, did you seriously just order the last one??!' and then give her a long cold hard stare.

If she didn't then hand it over, I'd have got up and walked out. Cow.

CatMadam · 14/02/2024 05:10

Lol she probably just didn’t hear you or thought like pp suggested, more croissants would be coming out. Agree with others that your comments are wild!

Namechange2468109 · 14/02/2024 05:26

Wictc · 13/02/2024 23:28

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

Doesn’t everyone do mash and roasts…..? Does this make me common…..

i also don’t like croissants or pain au chocolate.

Have I failed at life?
