50 Times People Had A Terrible Time During Thanksgiving And Posted These Pics Online To Get Some Sympathy
Buckle up, everyone, we’re about to have a Thanksgiving ride! The title speaks for itself. Call it a seasonal family comedy drama with action elements and a totally unpredictable ending.
Introverts may take it as a horror movie, thanks to the four walls without a possibility to exit and a bunch of people throwing ‘what are you doing with your life’-sorta questions at you. For those who are introducing their partners to the family, it may feel like a romantic movie until an uncle makes an inappropriate comment. But for the most part it’s a wild cooking show with special effects. Just think of how many charcoal turkeys, shattered ovens, dropped pumpkin pies, and whatnot there will be across the country. I'll just leave it here.
For those wondering how come we still love Thanksgiving so much, it’s basically the only thing that gets our families together. We may argue over politics, vaccines, housing prices, and whatnot, but hey, we love each other and that’s what matters. Plus, we stuff our bellies.
So just in time for Thanksgiving, we have a special treat for you—this dramatic list of funny Thanksgiving failures that’s basically a to-do list of “what not to do.” Enjoy!

Used to take the train to work and left at the same time everyday. Frequently spotted a police cruiser on patrol in the area while en route to the train. They had a stuffed toy pig and an empty box of Dunkin Donuts placed in the far corners of their rear windshield (no obstruction of view). Always made me smile.

It’s crazy to think that the most awaited holidays of the year may bring so much stress to so many of us. With so many responsibilities, family reunions, elaborate dinners, first time introductions, and you name it, a tiny thing can spark a conflict. Especially in times where people are opinionated about things like politics and coronavirus, as well being as anxious as ever.
And as if the year hasn’t been rough enough, half of Americans think Thanksgiving will be twice as stressful this year because of COVID-19, according to research. The new survey conducted on behalf of HelloFresh found that 53% think the stress will be double this year, with one in ten not even celebrating.

I'm getting the feeling this was one of those deep fried turkeys. The kind you need a special cooker for, and gallons and gallons of peanut oil. They are usually cooked outside, in a garage..... It sort of looks like this fire was in the garage. How awful for them! Their McMansion is up in flames.... just terrible! Can you imagine how they are feeling tonight?! Horrible. :-(
Michael Sanders 4 years ago
Garages are inside. They’re very easy unless you are an idiot. Most issues happen when people try to fry a turkey without fully thawing. If you put a frozen/partially frozen turkey in a frier might as well sett off some Roman candles at your house while you are at it

Due to the pressure, with so much up in the air this year with COVID-19, the survey also found 18% of respondents will be cooking their own Thanksgiving dinners for the first time this year. The number of loners on Thanksgiving is somewhat never seen before as the dinner was normally spent with ones' closest family members and/or friends.
Much of the stress is actually heightened by the fact that one is expected to have a perfect evening, with everyone happy to see each other, and having lots of things to catch up on after a chaotic year. So no wonder that the same survey showed that more than a half, 52%, said they feel pressure to make this Thanksgiving absolutely perfect.

Someone Asked Me What I Use To Marinate My Turkey, I Told Them I Use The Marinating Drawer In The Fridge... Why, What Do You Use?
Alexei Arntzen 4 years ago
This is literally what many people use. It's big enough, and already has a designated spot in the fridge. I'd fill it less and use the bottom drawer instead, to avoid cross contamination. It saves you from using disposable brining bags that end up in a landfill. And the brine is mostly just salt water, so you can just bleach and hose it down to clean.

We just have a beer cooler for this. Large enough to fit, shove it in the basement and the insulation will keep it within safe temps.

Another set of interesting findings about how Americans are going to spend Thanksgiving was made by a Quinnipiac University poll which was released on Monday. It found that 66% of adults are “hoping to avoid” conversations about politics at the dinner table this year, a sentiment that includes most Democrats, Republicans and independents. Meanwhile, 21% of respondents can’t be more excited about the prospect. They said that they are “looking forward” to hashing out their political views at a dinner table.

Tim Malloy, Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst, commented: “A heaping serving of political back and forth with your cranberries and stuffing? No way, say Americans, who would far rather feast on the big meal than feud with each other on Turkey Day.”
The poll also shows that Americans are in a giving mood this holiday season, with 89 percent saying they plan to donate “about the same” or “more” to charity than they did last year, while just 7 percent say they plan to give less. According to him, “The pandemic nightmare may have brought emotional, and in some cases, financial upheaval to American homes, but it did not chip away at their charitable instincts.”

Experts warn that high expectations from friends about dinner, gifts and other treats may feel overwhelming and worsen the anxiety. The pressure may result in worsening depression, family fights, or even mental breakdowns. And for those who already suffer from symptoms of depression or anxiety, they can worsen significantly during Thanksgiving.
So let's take a deep breath, everyone! Let those pies drop, turkeys burn, family feuds erupt. If we can't change the world around us, we can at least change our attitude about it. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Damn. I wish I was your friend! I spent thanksgiving making tiny little meals for all my foster n feral cats because cooking for one human being is a chore... but making tiny little meals for cats is just... well pathetic actually.. it's pathetic... next time hit me up. I'll bring the booze... or weed... or shrooms... meth? No judgement... whatever your poison is.. jk. Meth would ruin the whole aesthetic n our appetites. So I'll bring the weed.

This makes me sound like a crazy cat lady. Although this is technically true.. I am not just a crazy cat lady but I also have many tortoises n turtles n I rehab wild animals so.. please do not judge me solely on the large quantity of cats that allow me to live in their home n work as their maid... I do hold the "crazy cat lady" title with honor.. but I'm more than that. I am also a crazy turtle, opossum, tortoise, badger, squirrel lady who cooks better food for her animals than herself. I have range okay.

Shout Out To All Of You Who Get Stuck Doing All The Thanksgiving Dishes
Yoga Kitty 4 years ago
The amount of dishes is absolutely not the problem (coming from a family of eight without dishwasher) but are these people too lazy or too stupid to clear the plates and stack them sensibly? For doing the dishes you need to have free access to a clean sink, first of all. And you should pre sort everything according to how greasy it is. Glasses and cups first, then cutlery, then plates, pots and pans last. This way you do not have to change the water too often in between. Why is everything piled up like they threw it from the dining room door? And why is there so much stuff still on the plates? Doing dishes is no problem - guests without manners are!

Yeah, their family sucks. At least scrape off the food before you put the dish in the sink.

One good thing about clean up duty, the kitchen is where all the really juicy conversation goes on. This looks much worse than it is... at least they have a dish washer. My friend has a great plan. The day before the holiday, she gets all the holiday decorations from the attic, and makes those who aren't cooking or cleaning get the tree up and decorated. All her holiday chores done in one day by willing volunteers.... and the work means no one feels awkward or out of place.

Hopefully Everyone’s Thanksgiving Was Less Eventful Than Ours. I’m Pretty Sure I’ve Never Browned Marshmallows On The Top Of Our Sweet Potatoes Without Burning Them
MikeWheelerFan 4 years ago
It’s simple. Once you’ve made it WITHOUT the marshmallows, freeze it (on Thanksgiving Eve). On Thanksgiving, bake for 20 minutes WITHOUT the marshmallows, bake for 10 minutes WITH the marshmallows.
Tom Spade 4 years ago
I use a propane torch with a rosebud tip. It's what they use in restaurants to do the meringue as well. Put the dish on the stovetop. Check and clear the area for flammables. Do a test run with some marshmallows on a pan so that you get the feel of it, then just apply the heat and not direct flame. Keep the torch moving so not to scorch. It's much like spray painting with heat. Very easy, and excellent results once you get the hang of it. Marshmallows are cheap, practice ahead of time, nail it.
GoddessOdd 4 years ago (edited)
I have never been a fan of marshmallows on sweet potatoes, but it somehow became a Southern tradition, along with that canned goods green bean casserole. To each his own, but for me, I'd take the burnt top off and enjoy the delicious sweet potatoes as nature intended

I hope you managed to get all that off your cook top. The sugar in the fruit will permanently pit the cook top if heated.

Later I pulled out the warranty booklet and right there it said any sugar will cause permanent damage. Who knew?

Early in our marriage, my husband decided to bake a whole chicken. He prepped the bird, put it in a pan, preheated the oven, and popped old chickie in. He even set the timer. When it went off, he checked on his masterpiece. Well, it was burnt on top and still raw on bottom. He had turned the oven to broil instead of bake. He asked me what he should do. I said turn the bird over and cook the other side, then maybe we could salvage enough for a meal. It wasn’t quite the triumph he had planned. But he did start being more careful about oven settings.

Bake Until Golden Brown
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
Would’ve been a lot easier to deep fry them. I made homemade fried onions for a gluten-free green bean casserole for the first time yesterday. Slice the onions really thin, soak them in buttermilk (or soured milk) for a half hour, drain/start heating up an inch or two of oil in a deep frying pan/mix flour, salt, pepper, sugar in a ziploc/drop the drained onions in the bag and shake to coat/when the oil is at 350 degrees F, drop batches of the floured onions in and fry for about 3 minutes until lightly golden—-use metal slotted spoon to gently break up clumps or they’ll stick together/remove and cool on paper towels. Damn if they weren’t just like the store bought—-only tastier—-and worked just as well in the casserole.

This is a case where "low and slow" would have gotten better results. A lot of blackened food is the result of too hot for too short a time. It pays to check your oven temperature with a separate thermometer if you're getting results like this. I found out the hard way that my last oven was 30℉ hotter than the set temperature.

I agree... I think a lot of the cooks in this gallery were new to it, and tried complicated things that were just beyond their skill set.
