Back when my brother in law was on speaking terms with the family, he'd come over for Thanksgiving and insist on carving the turkey every year. I found out later that he was doing it mainly to try to emasculate me in some way, but I just thought he was being helpful and giving me one less thing to do :confused:

I lol'ed at that thought of that dude carving the turkey while never breaking eye contact with you.

It was way worse. He'd find a way to slyly take the turkey out of the oven and begin carving it like he was the one who'd just spent hours prepping and cooking. He did this for years.

Now, he and his methed out wife live in a trailer up in some remote part of Idaho. He keeps lying to everyone about living in some fancy rental that his company is paying for but:

1. he posts on facebook all the time about living in a trailer
2. he doesn't have a job, and lives off of some meager structured settlement that barely covers his truck payment.

I don't care what he does with his life, but his lying is so bad that it's insulting that he thinks we're being fooled by him.

Lol, dayum, that's pathetic.

Mazel tov!

See... Thanksgiving is a day where we all get together and eat turkey with people that we've been avoiding all year, to remind ourselves of why we've been avoiding them all year.

Ah ok. We also have something like that. It's called "christmas" and it's hosed up

Thanksgiving is just pre-gaming Christmas for us.
First we remember why we avoid them. Then we buy them presents so we don't feel bad about going back to avoiding them for 10 months again.

Friends and family members decide to "fix" your problems by bombarding you with "Why don't you..." and "Have you tried..." suggestions, like you're a moron who hasn't already run the gamut of options to resolve your situation.

I like that it's starting to get to the time of day in some places where some of these could not only be true but also be current.

It's fun trying to figure out which ones are which.

Family only wants to talk about football. Nothing else. Every conversation turns to football within 5 minutes.

Get alcohol poisoning.

Die.

Family blames you for ruining Thanksgiving.
