Of course, the beauty of these scenarios is how quickly allegiances shift. Dad gets sentimental, recalling days when manners meant everyone was welcome, even the people who burned bridges on the way out. Mom, practical as always, is just glad someone did the dirty work. Jake, our heartbroken hero, is simply relieved to have a quiet dinner without an ex-girlfriend-shaped cloud hovering over his plate.

It’s a miracle any family dinner makes it to dessert without someone fleeing, crying, or both. But hey, life is too short to let uninvited guests turn your mashed potatoes into a battleground. Sometimes the only way to keep the peace is to firmly, politely, and maybe even a little gleefully, show someone the door.
Brother’s ex-girlfriend, Lisa, crashes family dinner uninvited, disrupting the evening and forcing the host to intervene and send her home: ‘She’d heard about the dinner from my cousin and decided to "drop by"’
As we all know, basically since we were around the age of 6, Family gatherings are, by design, the ultimate test of patience and nerve. There's some mysterious cosmic power that guides a relative or some other force major to find the worst possible moment to reappear. In this case, it's Lisa, armed with some insider information from a well-meaning cousin and a sense of timing that would make a soap opera producer proud. The unspoken rule that exes should stay exes is suddenly up for debate, and the host is left to play bouncer at their own event, deciding whose comfort matters more, the family's or the intruder's.
