Every Thanksgiving, families gather together to celebrate the holiday. But sometimes, things don’t go quite according to plan. A user asked the forum, “What was your Thanksgiving drama this year?”
Here are some responses he got!
FIRST THANKSGIVING WITHOUT ALCOHOLIC HUSBAND
“I separated from my alcoholic husband last week, so it was quiet and peaceful. My first Thanksgiving without him in 33 years. I also accidentally broke a glass serving platter we received as a wedding present. How symbolic.”
MY NEIGHBORS HAD COPS OVER
“My neighbors had cops over. He beat his wife and smashed her head into the wall. We had their autistic son over to keep him away while the cops talked to them, and CSI investigated the inside. The mashed potatoes were delicious.”
CLOSED THE RESTAURANT AGAINST THE WISHES OF GM
“Closed the restaurant I work at (I’m a “manager”) 3 hours early so the kitchen guys could go home and spend some semblance of a Thanksgiving with their families, assumedly against the wishes of our GM/director of operations. Waiting on the angry emails/phone calls/sit down. Whatever, I’m leaving in two weeks.”
DAD STARTED DOING IMPRESSIONS OF FAMILY
“Half the family didn’t show up, so my dad started doing impressions of them.
BOWL OF YAMS DISAPPEARS
“A large mixing bowl full of yams disappeared into nothing while everyone was trying to get food on the table. We have looked everywhere there is to look, and it’s just gone. Nine people are seriously questioning their sanity now. Many things could have happened to the yams, but the missing bowl is a real head-scratcher.”
MY DADS WIFE IS BACK
“My dad’s wife is back on meth. She hid his keys inside his car so he couldn’t find them, but it would still start (push to start the car), so she could drive without him knowing. She also stuck a magnetic tracker… thing on under his seat. I also discovered that my Cousin with Down Syndrome can knock back whiskey like she’s drinking water. She parties harder than I ever could, and I’m jealous.”
OLD MAN ENTERS HOME BY MISTAKE
“2 bite into my meal at my mother-in-law’s house, my ring doorbell alerted me to someone ringing my doorbell. I pulled it up and caught an old man entering my house. I bolted out of my chair and went home. She lives close by. I get there, and no one is there. I pull up the video and see the exited 20 seconds after he entered, grumbling, “Hrm, wrong house.”
“The funny thing was, as we were leaving, I thought, did I lock the front door?
My food was still warm when I returned to my mother-in-law’s house.”
FATHER IN LAW EXITS EARLY
“In-laws are visiting from out of town. Except the father-in-law decided to leave yesterday and go home before Thanksgiving and did not come back. He told my wife and I, just not his wife.
My mother-in-law is still here. FYI, this is normal for him.”
TEENAGER BLOCKS DRIVEWAY
“I had to call a tow truck on some teenager (a friend of a front neighbor’s kid) because he wouldn’t move his car blocking my mom’s driveway.
She told him to move it since she needed to get something for dinner, and he answered that he shouldn’t had to move it because it’s a public street. I get the stuff and then get home. I told him to move it again because I wanted to park up the driveway. Shouts at me that I can find parking up the street. Now he has no car for Thanksgiving, and the cop gave him a ticket.”
MOTHER IN LAW BUYS RAW TURKEY
“My mother-in-law always buys Thanksgiving dinner, and this time, she didn’t notice she bought the raw turkey, and it wasn’t until an hour before dinner that she learned she had to cook it rather than warm it up.”
MOM DIED LAST NIGHT
“My mom died last night. This Thanksgiving is worse. Luckily, she had plenty of family that loved her, and it’s been alright grieving.
Unfortunately, my sister’s last interaction with her was doing CPR. She’s traumatized, and everyone is sad. Petty family drama and politics did not appear this year, just lots of prayers and people telling me they are sorry.”
MY COUSIN CAME OUT AS A FLAT EARTHER
“My cousin, unfortunately, came out as a flat earther while I was showing off my brand new telescope I bought recently.”
PLASTIC COOKING UTENSIL MELTS IN GRAVY
“The gravy was a war crime. The plastic cooking utensil melted into it. I was the first to find out.”
BURNS ON MY FOOT
“I got 1st and 2nd degree burns on my foot and calf from boiling water.”
AUNT PRETENDED TO BE PARALYZED
“My aunt pretended to be paralyzed (from COVID) to avoid taking care of her sickly mother.”
