Well, well, well… looks like we’ve got ourselves a classic case of the in-laws from h*ll! Our poor protagonist just wanted to enjoy a nice meal with his girlfriend’s family, but instead, he found himself trapped in a Catalan exclusion zone! Despite politely reminding them FIVE TIMES that he doesn’t speak Catalan, they just kept on jabbering away like he wasn’t even there! And when he finally had enough and called them out on their rudeness, the father had the nerve to play the victim card! Can you believe it?! But our hero wasn’t about to back down – he gave them a piece of his mind and stormed out like a boss! Now he’s left wondering what the future holds for him and his girlfriend… Let’s see what the internet has to say about this juicy drama!
