Where does the “Just ask me for an apology” meme come from?

In 2018, Andrea Menéndez Faya posted a Twitter thread recounting a court anecdote about allegedly stolen shoe insoles, where a request for an apology was misread, giving rise to the phrase “me pide, me perdona” (asks me, apologises to me). The story, covered by outlets such as lavozdeasturias.es, remains a reported account by its author rather than an independently verified fact, and has since spread as a stock phrase on Spanish Twitter.
