My thanksgiving this year consisted of: meatloaf and potato hash with fried eggs for breakfast, then a bike ride followed up with a heady topper, then more beer, just smoked half a blunt and making carne asada to dinner. No family but the wife.
Awkward thanksgiving moments
- Thread starter Pesqueeb
- Start date
the awkward moment when my
mother in law's boyfriend manages to insert a "nigger" non sequitur into an otherwise peaceful dinner

felt a bout of oncoming gastric distress.....and still being somewhat congested started coughing.....after about three or four good coughs.......my bowels let go a warning shot.... a wet one that i thought for sure was going to leave a mark in my shorts.....made it to the bathroom....disaster averted.
We outsourced Thanksgiving cooking to Whole Foods this year. Probably cost me $100 extra over ingredients, but probably worth it for happier pregnant wife. Sister's family and my mom are headed over, and my wife's younger brother plus his ex-girlfriend's dog (! Whipped?) are also in attendance.
I am happy to report no instances of violence took place. Everyone stopped by and offered their respects to me. I tolerated them for a few minutes then dispatched their drunk asses to places other then where I was at that time. Quite proud how everyone behaved. I had the last shrimp. One of the kids had the last crescent roll. When I find out who it was they will be punished at Christmas time. I also made everyone root for the Eagles because they at least they have a chance to win something and well I could. I am buying everyone Eagles Jerseys for Christmas it has just been decided.
Missed this one...but who the hell has a private party at a Quiznos? Classy...
Yearly shenanigans bump. Thanksgiving with my brother and his girlfriend in Denver. Gonna be a big crowd,
I wonder how many minutes after i arrive at my BILs will it take before I tell my MIL to go fuck herself....
mil's boyfriend isn't coming to turkey day at bil's house - all tacitly acknowledge that this is for the best. he was in rare drunken form last nite tho. had to not take the bait multiple times. dude just wants to argue (loudly) about literally anything. what a prick...
Going to a friends house with his weird MIL and 400 odd lb BIL in attendance. His wife is an awesome, adventurous cook, but this is the first time we have mixed the families en masse. Should be interessant...
missing people in the old country today.
friendsgiving later today with what is sure to be stellar food and plentiful drinks.

Hook wedding yesterday. Heading back south to hang with the parental unit. Minimal shenanigans anticipated.
Impressive...most impressive.
After taking the year off. I had my annual Skidfuck Thanksgiving. Anyone that doesn't have anywhere to go is welcome. I made a big ass Butterball turkey, Cornbread stuffing, Sweet Corn. The Gravy came out good thanks to the sherry I used to finish the pan. I didn't burn the rolls. None of the Jailbirds took their pants off or got to drunk and started a fight. I still have beer and wine left. Nobody smoked all my weed. All in all it was good.
Wife and I excused ourselves from the TG festivities and we cooked some ole good heavy Czech food instead.
Ironically, Thanksgiving is the loneliest day of the whole year for us (and many other immigrants without families here).

This was probably my ultimate Thanksgiving. Have yet to top it.
Well, this is awkward.
You arent missing much. A holiday built around sloth and overindulgence, based upon the historical theft of an entire continent from the very people who saved the thieves lives by introducing them to a crop that has little nutritional value. All in preparation for a disgusting display of crass consumerism the next day.
Am I the only one that actually likes my in-laws?
Spent TG at a good friends. I get along well with his wife but she comes from the wrong side of the tracks and has some pretty sketchy ass friends. Was planning on spending the weekend there until I heard that buddies wife's friend was coming over to watch some football game. Long story short, pretty sure this 'friend' tried to rob me during their wedding weekend and I wasn't sure I could refrain from accidentally severing her spine with a meat cleaver. Had to awkwardly make an excuse to GTFO
I like my in laws as well. We lived with my MIL for a year during fellowship and it was great: food, laundry, and on-site babysitting.
I don't mind my in-laws either. My MIL is a little hyper at times but means well. When we visit my wife's family I usually spend a decent amount of time causing shenanigans and tossing back drinks with my wife's cousins & BIL.
no no no... this thread is supposed to be about awkward thanksgiving moments, not about how great life is. please take your love-in somewhere else. I came here to be entertained.
This year it was just my oldest sister with her sugar daddy and her 4 older kids, my next to oldest sister by herself (her husband and my oldest sister don't get along), the wife and moms. My sisters oldest son (32) has just gotten more than a little weird. His latest thing is he wears fingerless gloves. At moms birthday a few months ago he was wearing some weightlifting gloves, TG he was wearing some knit ones.
Ok, you want to wear gloves while eating dinner. Ok, sure. But then to see him go in and come out of the bathroom after obviously not washing your hands (because knit gloves). Ew, just ew. Seriously, the kid has issues. I was told that nobody has seen him without gloves on for at least a year. What the sh!t people.
Also, it seems he is crushing in debate at school. He's a 32 year old freshman at the community college my sister teaches at. So a 32 year old can out debate a community college 19 year old? Bravo. You and your gloves are obviously winning at life.

Where can I get a pair of these gloves??
This is some Warren-From-Something-About-Mary level shit.
No incidents to report on my end.
He fits the profile of a school shooting style domestic terrorist. He was actually arrested in high school when someone overheard him talking about shooting up his school. Leather outback/cowboy style hat, ponytail, duster, hiking boots.
<edit> And now fingerless gloves.
An ass grab free TG? Son, I am disappoint.
I had no plausible deniability.
Holiday ass grabbing bump. Bring watcha got.
Maybe not awkward, but dumb. I missed out on my family Thanksgiving shindig this year, as they only sent out the invitation on Facebook, which I don't use. My dad didn't even send a text or anything telling me.
Oh well, if I recall correctly, we had an awesome bike ride that day.

My how things change when you have kids. Let my kid stay up "late" last night to watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. He returned the favor by sleeping in until 7:30.
Kiddo had a sleepover at a friends house last night, and wifey passed out around 10:00.
Missed opportunity...

Went out to eat at the local country club. Kids were acceptable.
The real kicker was this fat lady who had a plate with nothing but a mountain of stuffing and gravy.
