Spending a holiday with loved ones can be a special tradition filled with great food and memory making, but not everyone is that lucky. A Reddit post asks, “What ruined Thanksgiving this year?” and thousands of people revealed what made their Turkey Day take a turn for the worse. From heated debates to finding out about a teen cousin’s Only Fans, these are some of the things that wrecked Thanksgiving for Redditors.
- “Fighting with my mother over getting her stupidly large dinner done. Basically saying she wants to do it herself. Meanwhile she has a consistent history of complaining no one helps her get things done.”
- “My mom calling to scream obscenities at me and call me horrible names. Because my dad is invited to Thanksgiving, at my house. They’re divorced. We were planning on going there for a family Thanksgiving on Saturday so she’d get her time too.”
- “Uncle Gary, three years running!”
- “Stupid drama and everyone going their separate ways due to all the elders who held the tradition together no longer being with us. Thanksgiving gets worse and worse each year but the food is good.”
- “A giant argument about the Israel/Palestine situation resulted in everybody being pissed off at each other and my sibling locking themself in a bedroom crying. There's an argument about something every year. Oh the joys of living in a politically divided family.”
- “The Lions.....again.”
- “Found out that my cousin has an Only Fans at 18, most of the family was cool with it until suspiciously her subscribers went up by 3 within an hour of the family finding out.”
- “My Mexican uncle referred to his penis as "my chorizo" at the dinner table”
- “This year, it was great. I didn't go to my mom's house which is probably why it was amazing.”
- “Grandma walked in on us having sex.”
- It actually went alright, the food was good and nothing got crazy. My father in law did say that El Niño was invented by democrats which is pretty high up on my list of funniest things anyone has ever tried to make political”
- “Saw a bedbug at the in-laws house on the way out. Tell them about it and it turns out they know but didn't tell us.”

Scott's Thoughts:
- Bad food and insensitive comments we can forgive, but keeping bedbugs a secret? Unforgivable!
- What can be worse than dad bringing out the old "pull my finger" gag?
- Nothing wrong with my Thanksgiving except the drive. Not bad. 2 hours each way.
