\ud83d\udccc Let me put you in the picture:<\/p>\n\n
Drawing of 2 nights during the week<\/strong>, in lodging only<\/strong>. Clear rules, specified in capital letters, and without small print. <\/p>\n\n A participant -whom we will call Menganito<\/strong>for discretion’s sake-<\/strong>wins and decides to contact me. That’s where the… adventure<\/em> begins. <\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udcde First contact:<\/p>\n\n – Hey, can I go for just one night but with full board?<\/p>\n\n (And here a part of me already knows where this is going…)<\/p>\n\n – No, it’s two nights, during the week, accommodation only, as it said in the draw. – It’s just that I’m not doing well… – Then we’ll give it to someone else, that’s all right. – But I got it… – And you got… just that: two nights, accommodation only, midweek… \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n (Reflective pause…)<\/p>\n\n – What if I change it to the weekend? – It is not possible. The prize is on weekdays. – Sure, but I work… – I guess, like almost everyone else. But those were the conditions. <\/p>\n\n – Can I do just one night then? – Yes, you can. – Great. And could it be in summer? – No. In the bases are specified the available dates (which do not include summer, long weekends, Christmas, Easter… or what everyone usually wants \ud83d\ude02). <\/p>\n\n \u23f3 Time goes by, and he calls back: – Can I come on X day? – Not that day. It’s a long weekend, and as it said in the bases… <\/p>\n\n – Oops, you make a lot of points. – No, we simply apply the conditions you accepted when you participated. The same ones you had available before you called me for the first time. <\/p>\n\n – Well, don’t be like that… – Not at all. I’m answering you politely and according to the contest rules. If you prefer, you can talk to the organizers and let them contact me directly. <\/p>\n\n – Okay… and on Sunday X? – Perfect. No problem. Send me a WhatsApp with the photo of the voucher, your data and the date. And I will confirm the reservation. <\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udce9 Send it to me. Confirmation sent. All good… until the day arrives. <\/p>\n\n \ud83c\udfad They appear. She, dressed in white as if for a photo shoot in Santorini. He, in “spontaneous influencer” mode. And then… <\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udd0c I look and see that he has plugged in the electric car without warning. Curious detail. <\/p>\n I open the app and discreetly stop the upload<\/em>. I introduce myself, explain everything, give them a superior room<\/strong> (because it was Sunday, and because I’m a good person \ud83d\ude07), and notice that “we’re not saying anything, but we’re slightly disappointed we’re not at the Ritz” attitude. <\/p>\n\n Everything was fine, until my four-legged hosts Mastitwo, Masto and Maky<\/strong> arrived. \ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc36<\/p>\n\n And then panic sets in:<\/p>\n\n – Oh, please! What are these dogs doing here? Get them off me! – Excuse me… these dogs live here. – It’s just that my wife has a phobia of them… – I understand… but then I find it hard to understand why she participated in a raffle at an animal<\/em> fair, to stay in one of the most pet-friendly<\/em> houses in existence, where dogs are loose everywhere, even in common areas. <\/p>\n\n – We didn’t know… – Well, look, it’s all quite detailed. In the rules, on the website, in the spirit of the contest itself. It’s not a surprise. <\/p>\n\n I turn around, smile, and go about my business, hoping that maybe, just maybe… they will decide to leave. But no. They remain \ud83e\udee0<\/p>\n\n And how could it be otherwise, Menganito returns with his next concern: – Hey, the car doesn’t charge me… – Have you activated the payment? – Isn’t it free? – No. But if you want, I can reactivate it and then you can pay with the app. – Oh, no, no, I’ll look for a free one… <\/p>\n\n And so on, throughout their stay. Until, finally, they left. And with all the kindness in the world, I hope they don’t come back. Never. Never.<\/p>\n\n If something similar has happened to you, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If not… I hope you never get a prize like this one. \ud83d\ude05 <\/p>\n\n From MasTorrencito we wish you a good day and may your dogs be with you!!!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n — There are fools and there are jetas… I got the JETASTONTOS…. jajajajajajajaja There are people who touch the prize… and others who touch the noses. And then there is today’s…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mastorrencitos-stories"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"Tontos](\"https:\/\/casaruralconperrosgirona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tontosbymastorrencitto.jpg\")
