35 Funny Bits of Family Drama People Have Dealt With on Thanksgiving

If your family is insane enough, you’re likely grateful for the fact that Thanksgiving only happens once a year. But it’s important to remember that without crazy families, we wouldn’t have incredible stories that start off with “My cousin stole a four-wheeler from a police dispatcher and left it in our yard.” Or: “Father-in-law got drunk, took his shirt off and then arm wrestled my son (lost).” 

These are the rich, tradition-filled tales that should be heard by all, especially during this season of togetherness. So, whether you’re finding out about your extended family’s conspiracy theories or eating a dish best described as a “war crime,” please enjoy these Thanksgiving stories from Redditors whose families are just as insane as yours.
