Blame it on pregnancy

I had my first pregnancy breakdown last night. DH and I venture out to Chick-Fil-A for a chicken sandwich. I ordered a chicken deluxe sandwich with American cheese, no tomato, no pickle. She repeated my order correctly, I even looked at the receipt. So, thought this is what they do for a living should be right, right?
Wrong! I was prepping my food while wrapping up a phone call with my best friend. Removed my bun and that's when it happened... I started yelling obscenities and told my bestie I had to call her back. I looked at DH and held up two tomatoes and said "they forgot my cheese" and started crying hysterically. Poor DH had no idea what to do, he took the tomatoes from me and came back with a slice of cheese asking " would you like for me to put cheese on that for you, so sincerely. I couldn't answer because I am now drowning my sandwich in tears.
This episode lasted about 3 -5 minutes of real tears. He returned my food now laid out on a plate. Once I realized what happened I was so embarrassed. I think DH was to scared to say anything to me. He said he has heard of women breaking down, but always thought it was BS.
Just wondered has anyone else had a meltdown over food?

Re: Blame it on pregnancy
Well honestly I think that was a little dramatic. Real tears for 5 minutes, really? It bugs the crap out of me that women think they can be total drama queens and then just blame it on pregnancy. My sister tried to pull that junk when she was pregnant - she was a total b!tch to everyone and then tried to blame it on hormones. Ummm no, that was just her being a b!tch, pregnancy hormones or not. Not saying that is how you are, just using her as an example.
I would have had the exact reaction if I had been home alone. Keep in mind I didn't ask for him to assist me in making my food to my liking. I just began being able to remove tomatoes from my food without gagging. I have not blamed anything else on being pregnant, I too have thought it was extremely foolish for someone to react like that over food (witnessed my SIL 2 years ago freak out over her food) until now.
Was it dramatic? Probably so. Am I a drama queen? Absolutely not. Just a pregnant woman who doesn't get out of the house (due to dr restrictions) and was really looking forward to an outing, even if it was just to Chik-Fil-A.
I had one at McDonalds too when I went there and they put shredded lettuce on my chicken sandwich. Normal big leaf of lettuce, fine. But do you know how hard it is to pick shredded lettuce off a sandwich!!
I don't think you're being a drama queen at all. It happens to the best of us. In fact, I had a similar meltdown the night before my DH proposed to me lol Everything had been going terrible right before we were moving, every thing that could go wrong did. And then...I dropped my piece of pizza on the floor top side down after we just had the floor steam cleaned. I burst out crying and DH decided to propose the next morning because he wanted me to have something good happen before we left lol (Note: he didn't do it because I was crying, he already had his plan laid out and how he was going to do it and the ring and everything, he just didn't know when
