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)

Please tell me you said something? Like - riiiight, so we came because I was desperately craving a croissant and you've just taken the last one?!' CF.

You have received some very important information.

I’ll need to try some 😋

Croissants all the way here. I can take or leave a pain au chocolat.

This is the one I buy at Costco. I've also seen almond. I'm in Canada so unsure where to buy it in the UK. It's on Amazon, too.
I've also had a dollop with pancakes. 😋😋😋

OP - your colleague was incredibly rude - don't go to lunch with her again.

(It's also a bit rude to invite yourself along on someone's lunch break - did you even want her to come??)

OP, your replies on this post have started my day with a mild chuckle. I love you, even though you are meek.

I made a lovely croissant at home the other day, filled with ham and smoked cheese. Yes, and I used butter. I'd eaten such a creation in cafes before but not thought to make it at home (I sometimes wonder about myself).

If anyone had tried to take it off me, I'd have wrestled them to the ground.

But croissants taste of butter! Putting butter on top is just adding the same taste. Just put some butter on some butter. Or a croissant on a croissant. The only way is a little jam, not too sweet. Or also dipped in coffee.

No, I don’t like pigs in blankets either. They make the outside of the sausages all pale and grim and the inside of the bacon flaccid. Do chipolatas separately, then bacon crisped on top of the chicken. ::bangs gavel::

Most cafes I go to don’t bring out more magical endless trays of croissants; it’s not Pret. There’s what’s at the counter and that’s your lot.

You’re not letting this go @Moodicum
and now doing some serious cutting and pasting and formatting. Is it because someone called you out on something? Are you actually ok?!

I can't believe your colleague did that OP!
Do they have form for being rude?

As for the butter on a croissant, I agree but raise you...butter and jam!

Oi, none of the witches I know would behave like this. Witches would buy you a croissant with an oat milk latte.

Oh, OP, I would have been SO mad.

You can take my cake, my pie, or my fish and chips, but you do not take my croissant.

But the butter melts making it even more buttery, which isn’t a bad thing!

I do dip toast in tea/coffee, but I don’t like the thought of dipping a croissant in coffee. I know it’s common to dip them in hot chocolate in France etc, now that I like the thought of!

One HG mama to another - that's hilarious!!! Do NOT mess with a hungry nauseous pregnant woman.

I am enraged on your behalf,

What an absolute bitch.

I'd never trust her again.

Get in the sea.

OP - DM me your address. I’m prepping the voodoo doll now. Time to stab a bishhh.

I like my (very rare) warm flakey croissant with a little butter and a couple slices of naice deli ham and a large black Americano coffee. Yummmm 😋

Well you win, surely

I was staying with a friend, at her invitation. She spent the morning talking about wanting a steak bake for lunch. She was clearly craving one and really talked about it a surprising amount. She asked me what I wanted. I said I wasn't bothered as long as it was vegetarian. We queued up (yes, queued) at the bakers and she reiterated again about the steak bake, how lovely it is hot etc etc. Got near the front, clearly loads of meat options, only one cheese pasty left.

She went first and ordered the cheese pasty. No other veggie options left. She ate it and shrugged.

I declined any further invitations to visit.

This is actually quite worrying. What sort of role does she have in the company?

Have you reported her to HR?

If anyone thinks this is lightheated they too need reporting to someone. Anyone.

I've not had a crossiant for a year. There is no joy in life any more.

This comment has made me very happy. Well done you!

Rope, bags and shovel in the car.

I got your back!

This is inexcusable.

About 3 people are puzzled. The majority are on the exact same wavelength. It’s lighthearted on AIBU. There’s a difference.

To be fair posters like you add to it!
