Unhinged "Thanksgiving Is Ruined" Stories
Look, Thanksgiving is hard even when it goes perfectly. And these people's Thanksgivings did NOT go perfectly.
1. Just Think About It For A Minute
It’s definitely awkward this Thanksgiving that my sister's girlfriend decided to show up to my parents’ house in…very revealing clothes.
It was a dress with a lacy backless top with an extremely short hemline and fishnet stockings above her knee connected to the bottom of the dress with a few straps.
Just a "Well ok I guess that's happening" experience. This is a nearly 40-year-old woman, by the way.
2. It All Turns On A Dime
Big dinner. Turkey. Stuffing. Mash potatoes. Corn bread. The whole nine yards. It all blew up in my face. A colleague’s daughter says she has a stomach ache and doesn't feel well. A gut feeling is making me suspicious, but we sit down anyway.
She gets up and proceeds to vomit all over the floor. Thankfully she missed the table…but still, all on the floor. The poor kid had a stomach bug she didn't know about. She didn't eat much after that. We spent 10 minutes cleaning it up.
Sadly, nobody wanted to have the stuffing after that, even though it was amazing.

3. Cutting Off The Meal To Spite Their Face
I was pure excitement about the idea of coming home to food being on the table and being able to talk with my family again, even though we aren’t really that close. I was in for a rude awakening. I came to find out that there was no food, period. Why? Because my parents got into an argument the night before and thought the solution to the problem would be to not cook at all, out of pettiness.

4. The More The Un-Merrier
We're hosting this Thanksgiving, and my wife has been cooking since yesterday. This morning my sister-in-law called and said our niece (her daughter) is sick and they won't be coming. Then later that day, she decided that her daughter is "
only a little bit sick" so maybe they were going to come after all.
We told her that being "a little bit sick" is not a thing, you're either contagious or you're not. It took a big turn here. She then accused us of not wanting to spend time with her, and her and my wife got into a shouting match over the phone.
Now about a half hour ago, we found out that my father-in-law isn't coming, mostly because his girlfriend didn't come over to his place last night and he’s angry with her.
So now the only people eating with us are my wife's other sister and her boyfriend, who had a Thanksgiving earlier today that apparently didn't go well and they just want to get home.
So they'll probably leave shortly after we eat. We have a whole turkey, potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, two pies, a banana cream dessert and plenty of drinks...for only four people.
