Page 9 | 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)

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.

OMG, that is awful, your poor son

Definitely NOT lighthearted- so you had to sit with her while she ate it in front of you 😡

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

I'm proper snaughling (that thing where you laugh, snort, laugh, snort ad infinitum) now! Wonderful 😂

🤣🤣 Good for you 🤣🤣

IchGlaubMeinSchweinPfeift · 14/02/2024 09:50

In any situation, I would've ordered the croissant if there was a big queue and given it to my colleague if she'd said she was specifically craving one.

👏👏👏Well done for eating it - I’d probably have emptied it over her head !!

How very cool! A username that matches the user's behavior. WTG @LowBar!🙄
I bet you are the same type of person who would buy all 10 apple flapjacks. 😩😬🤐

Disturbia81 · 14/02/2024 09:59

Eh.. butter on a croissant? Never done this, never seen this.. they're so buttery already and I love butter. Mind blown 😆

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

If the OP is anything like me, she'll still be angry about it in 10 years' time. 20, even.

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.

I was thinking the same. I'm not eating chocolate for Lent and I am now, on day one, craving a pain chocolat.

Allwelcone · 14/02/2024 10:56

I let MIL take the last seafood option on the menu KNOWING I was pescatarian, she omnivorous, thus condemning me to yet another effing Greek Salad while everyone was tucking in to really special delicacies.

I was all like "no, you have it" but she actually did, no "are you sure?" or "thank you" or anything.

That was about 5 years ago now...never confessed this. I suppose its my fault for not eating meat.

TooOldForThisNonsense · 14/02/2024 11:06

Disgraceful

I’d have been willing on her to cough and then inhale some of the crumbs. 😂

So sorry OP! That's awful 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 ;)

That would really annoy me.

I probably wouldn't say anything but I would hold a mild silence grudge and remember FOREVER.

30 years on I still remember a flatmate who ate my nice crispy apple I had put in the fridge to be nice and cool when I ate it, and offered me a banana in substitution.

Not the same thing. At all.
