When I was six, my uncle took me to a supermarket and was holding my hand. And then somehow I was holding hands with some other dude and he was walking out of the supermarket until I realized it wasn’t my uncle and I screamed. My mom 23 years later still does not know my uncle dun goofed

>>11456008
It’s always interesting to visit that trashy part of your family.

Your uncle was trying to sell you as a sex slave and almost got away with it. I'm glad you weren't a sex dlave, anon. You must exact revenge upon your uncle tho

Not sure how to feel about it.

>>11455535
Okay, was thinking you were an idiot until you mentioned the guy coming at you with a knife.

Assuming you're not a bullshitting faggot, your assessment that the availability of lethal force was necessary was then proved correct.

Thanksgiving food sucks
Families suck

Can we not get over sentimental about a holiday because of advertising traditions

>>11455535
>Do I go again in 2018
I see no reason why not, may as well enjoy the sideshow.

I don't really have a dysfunctional family but last Christmas we had my friend over for a movie and dinner and he had too much to drink and told my family I had a foot fetish.
Miraculously they didn't really make a big deal out of it and seem to have forgotten, which I'm thankful for.

Your friend musta felt like he put his foot in his mouth huh.

>>11456275
My mom isn't that bad but we more or less can't get through a family gathering without her being mad or crying.

Also every time it wraps up and everyone goes home she makes my siblings and I feel miserable for leaving.

Oh also she hasn't had a job for 10 months and we have to help her pay her bills.

She's a loving caring mom but she certainly doesn't make us want to see her.

Based dad

I hope you guys are LARPing; no one's family can be this dysfunctional for Thanksgiving. All my family ever does is cook, eat, watch the games, and take a nap. No fights in the kitchen, no arguing politics or ideology at the dinner table, no weird "this is our son's room, he's quite the X" or awkward "Look who finally decided to come out of their cave" moments.

Lesson learned, always reread and follow instructions, especially when drunk. All my friends were at school and I was in NYC didn't have a girlfriend and it my first time with my own apartment so said wtf, I'm gonna make a turkey, my mom gave me instructions. I'm really glad I reread those.

Point reread directions/instructions and don't fuck up.

I mean it's pretty clear from his story he's not 'normal' he brought a gun to thanksgiving and actually fucking drew it the mad fucker

It's just his family is LESS normal that he had to do that in the first place.

The rest is totally believable, 4chan is full of boomers whose souls have been trapped here since the aughts

To be fair, the ones who don't have any special stories to tell (ie they have a normal family) probably won't be posting in the thread.

Worst thing that happened to me on Thanksgiving was my dad got mad at me and accused me of being racist over a political discussion, which was pretty weird because I actually get along well with my dad. But that's nothing compared to some of the shit in this thread.

My family is awesome and I look forward to sharing the holidays with them.

>>11457356

It was a let's invite everyone we know type of thing at someone else's place with mostly american students, i was her plus one.

Everybody wins in this situation.

>>11457484
its sounds like your well and truly creating your own personal hell, its one thing to not go to some christmas event, fair enough, but to instead spend that time being sad and disgusting is not a very good way of dealing with things

It still helps, I like making the simple things now. Potatoes and gravy because the rest of the family doesnt cook that well
atleast I know I have my favorite thing done right on thanksgiving

>>11457511
Nah, I really do that to enjoy myself. I rarely ever drink, so I take a handful of days a year to get myself nicely boozed up; it's wrong of me to call it "getting drunk", since I never got past the happy stage. I've never blacked out, or woken up without memory of what I'd done the previous night.

Eating trash... well, it is what it is. Pizza, chinese takeout, popcorn, cracker nuts, funyons/fritos, iced tea/coffee, mini PB&J sandwiches, the list goes on. I'm still a fat fuck (currently ~240lbs @ 6ft), but I've been going to the gym for a while and dieting correctly, and I use the holidays to make up for the cheat days I deny myself throughout the year.

It's unarguably disgusting, but I wouldn't call it sad. This thanksgiving, I intend to spend the day slowly eating a small sushi boat and a bunch of homemade spring rolls, drinking vodka mixed with soursop juice, and watch my backlog of One Piece episodes. Better than spending a day watching my small army of relatives and hangers-on trading gossip, undergoing drama, and discussing politics and sports (plus my grandmother's unending religious wailing because her children aren't as devout as her, and 4 of her 5 grandchildren are either atheists or uninterested in joining her specific strain of protestantism).

I had easter with my girlfriend's family.
They're poor and half retarded because they were raised piss poor by my gf's grandma. (she raised her kids to be such dumbfucks she had to raise her grandkids.) She's a cunt. She didn't raise my girlfriend but literally everyone she's raised still lives with her. Her kids are in their 50s, 3 grand kids in their 20s.

They're dysfunctional, but boring as fuck. None of them drink or do drugs or anything.

Lol .22 revolver what a dumb ass

3 weeks ago true story.
Went out for dinner with mom, stepdad and dad for my 34th bday at a casual new place.
Drank 2 pints of vodka because im an alchy.
Black out 5 minutes into dinner.
I wake up in bed with a text from my dad "wtf chris"
I make everyone get a $10 chicken caesar salad because I love them.
I assume they call me out on being drunk as fuck.
Stand up and berate my parents because im a drunk. Walk out of place and get picked up and brought home.

I dont think I want to do thanksgiving this year.

>>11458168
Well, I do have Cromartie High School, Watamote, Spice and Wolf, Desert Punk, and Tokyo Ghoul somewhere in an external HD. I guess I could rewatch one or two of them.

Then again, there's still over a week until turkey day, I can probably torrent whatever you recommend until then.

Congrats, you have a taste in anime equivalent to /mu/'s taste in music. Try some slightly less entry level anime, like:
Good story: Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu
Good directing: Should Kakumei Utena
Good classic: Ace wo Nerae
Good cute girls: Kokoro Toshokan
The list goes on forever. CroKou is good comedy at least, but why rewatch something when you can watch something new?

>>11458008
Well done agent 008.

>>11455535
Hell no. I relate to family constantly going at each other, fighting, yelling and crying....

I moved out the second I was done with high school and keep contact with my mom and dad, but to other family, a bare minimum.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. But, I think you're still missing the point: I'm looking for something to watch while drinking, hence the initial plan of binging on something that's easy to follow like One Piece. Appreciating good stories and direction isn't easy when it's nearly midnight and you still have three ounces of vodka in your system telling you to giggle at every little thing.

Maybe I'll just forsake the booze this time and do a Kon Satoshi marathon.

>Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, Kokoro Toshokan
Already watched these.

>>11457445
I imagine the stress is higher for a trained chef to do it because everybody expects it to be mind blowingly awesome.

So just having to do something simple is nice and relaxing and you can enjoy the meal without worrying if everybody is enjoying what you made. If they don't like what you brought, well they still have plenty of food from other people to enjoy.

>>11455632

I also found out he's giving a house and his life insurance (like $100k) to some chick he's been living with (doubtful they're banging, since he's old as fuck).

So he's what they call passing in the black community

I just have to navigate Christmas when visiting my dad or mom's just doing all I can to ensure we don't get stuck there with my brother and his wife.

My brother is a good man but I just cannot stand the woman. I've tried to play nice but she is just an awful human being. Greedy, selfish, one-upping, judgemental and materialistic. It's all we can do as a family to be there when she inevitably divorces him and annihilates him emotionally with restricted custody, and financially with child support.

The guy is a cuck for attacking you instead of her, though.

Call me obsessed but you Americans are fucked.

Violent crime in Britain is way higher than in the US. You have much less of a free press than the US. You don't have freedom of speech. 1/3 of London thinks being gay should be a criminal offense (no, it's not because of ''bigoted whites''). You voted to leave the EU, but now you are sort of in limbo between that and sovereignty, and your own incompetent govt is possibly even more abusive than the EU anyways. You literally have acid attack epidemics in certain areas and muslim child sex trafficking gangs that the police avoid for fear of being labeled ''racist''. Last time I went to London I couldn't walk 5 meters without seeing some goatfucker who doesn't belong there. It's sad. But hey at least you don't have the right to own a gun!

>Putting liberalism above your family
I'll bet your parents are fucking ashamed of having you. One day in a decade or two or after they die you will realize how shitty of a child you are and you will regret treating your parents that way

Oh boy. My family is split exactly down the middle. I'm not looking forward to another micro-civil war.

I wonder who's the NPC

I’m really not looking forward to thanksgiving this year, being that I’m 24 and still work at a grocery store. I already know all of my cousins around my age are going to ask what I do for work. Shits going to be shameful. Thinking about just going to my gfs thanksgiving instead, but I want to see my grandparents.

They could take it to a vet you utter retard. Instead, Billy Bob brings out his popgun and like most 'murrican gun fanatics is too stupid to even know how to take out a small animal with a .22. A disgusting story and if I were the cop would have confiscated his guns, hauled his ass to county and thrown him into an overcrowded cell meant for 2 people with Darius, Tyrone and Jamal as his cellmates sharing 2 bunks. Fucking scumbag.

Fuck off back to where you came from retard take your shitty puns and narwhal shit with you

Thanksgiving involving my wife's family is kinda a big to do. Part of her family is "well off". They have zero problems with flaunting it either. Instead of having a traditional meal at someone's home they book some swanky restaurant and everyone just shows up at the appointed time. But you end up paying for whatever you eat. It's kinda lame; half these fucks don't got a clue who me (or my wife) is or who's related to who. No one who attends other than my wife's immediate family really socializes with anyone else. No one really sees anyone else except this once a year meet thing. Kinda like a funereal; you get fucks showing up then that you don't gotta clue who they are or you ain't seen in 30 years. So basically we go, see who is still kicking, be polite, pay, then leave.

>>11460139
Where did they put conservativism above their family? They made a joke and the dumb bitch got so assblasted about it thry treated their parents like shit because they enjoy black dick. Conservatives are the party of family values and enjoy each other's company, liberals put virtue signalling above family because it's a Marxist cult and they have been brainwashed by the Frankfurt institution to go against their own interests

>>11460153
The vet would put it down and it would suffer the whole way there, why be incredibly cruel it's a fucking neurotic pitbull given enough time it would maul one of the kids to death anyway

You can't just cut them and not tell people? Or just be honest with folk and say you made the decision because they were bad to have around? Why worry so much about what other people think?

Except for my parents, and a handful of relatives (who live far away anyway), fuck them all.

>Mom's family is mostly comprised of stupid fuckups who think they're still living in 13th century feuds. They're dirt poor and have more children than they can handle and therefore can't properly educate and raise, giving birth to another generation of stupid poor people who'll have their own clutches of stupid and poor people by age 25, ad infinitum
The only people in the family to break the chains of poverty and ignorance are my mom (retired social worker) her older brother (retired chemical engineer), a cousin of mom's and his family (3 well employed engineers, his wife was a college professor but retired due to health issues), and a lawyer who married one of my dad's cousins. Everyone else is working McJobs or sucking on the welfare teat. No one can hold a conversation that goes beyond family gossip/celeb drama/soap opera/sport.

>Dad's family is small and everyone's relatively well off and/or educated, but it's full of stuck-up cunts that only talked to him/us when they wanted to ask for something
The only decent people are my dad, a gay cousin that got black sheeped by the religious nut majority led by the wailing granny, and an entrepreneur who married my mom's lawyer cousin (they have 2 sons together, both are also decent people).

My family, generally speaking, is shit. Why would I make an effort to make them happy?

The guy (my uncle in law) was a pastor and his wife did a bunch of christian charity stuff so that's why it was a big deal

>>11457838
This is pathetic, and hilarious that you are convincing yourself it is not sad and pathetic.

>>11456037
>And then somehow I was holding hands with some other dude and he was walking out of the supermarket until I realized it wasn’t my uncle and I screamed.
I did this. I linked my arm through a man's arm and started talking to my Dad about whatever exciting thing I wanted to buy...and I just sensed something was off after a few minutes and looked up at my 6'4" dad and it was some other guy. I told my Dad about 4 minutes later the story when I found him...I dunno..Penney's....and he didn't get how I could do that mistake. I think kids simply don't look upwards of the knees. I don't know what age I was, but old enough to remember the details and how quickly afraid I became when not linked with my Dad. *shudder*

My Thanksgiving stories are almost too numerous to recall. I have about 55 people who used to descend upon my one grandparents. It was like a block party with the family reunion that turned into all day reunions with neighbor's kids in the front yard both...people that went to school with my aunts and uncles knew to come by eventually after their own gatherings ended. One of my uncles had a metal band, and the garage doors would be open, and people jamming, from banjos to washboards to electric guitar...LedZeppelin to Jimmy Buffet, whatever people felt like playing...about 4 coolers of beers and soda outside for the taking, and another set inside the house in a central patio. Good. Times. From about 5PM the night beforehand when the smokers would be filled with chicken wings, smoked marlin, or big roasts, there would be babysitting the smokers overnight, gathering for the noon lunch starting about 10am with partying right through the night until about 10am the following day. Christmas was just as bad x2. My grandma had two deep freezers and fridges in the garage just for the pies she baked ahead of time.

Never had a bad thanksgiving. Always have it with my mom's side of the family, a relatively small crowd who are mostly just loud. We sit around and watch tv, talk and have drinks while my mom and grandma do the cooking. I'm probably the biggest loser in the family but it's never uncomfortable because no one pries into my life and the conversation is always jokey and casual. It's a good time and I always look forward to it.

If you don't actually remember it happening and only go by having nightmares, it might not have happened. There are a lot of other reasons why you could be having those nightmares. I went from being molested and never thinking about it for years until suddenly just remembering it all at one point. If you can think of the situation but don't recall it actually happening then you could be forcing a false memory. Maybe you just really don't like child molestors, which is pretty normal, and not that you were actually molested. Or maybe you saw something about that on TV as a kid which scared you.

>wake up after a long week of studying literally 10 hours a day, dad was commenting on my performance all through the week, feels good
>I get to not study today, dad has work off, maybe we can do something, that's actually what I thought while still in bed
>go to kitchen
>half of dad's face is swollen, it just happens to him sometimes, he always tells me to shut up if I ask but it's definitely angiodema
>sister somehow breaks the toilet so dad spends the better part of the morning swearing and cussing because he took apart the flushing mechanism and can't put it back together
>have had the exact same problem happen several times and know how to fix it but when I try to help he glares at me and turns around, basically telling me to silently fuck off
>I sit on the couch while everyone's all nervous, dad fi,es it eventually
>Today's a big sports day in my turd world shithole
>Dad just finished fixing the flushing mechanism and now some literal niggers are shooting fireworks every time someone from their team does something good, screaming, yelling, our dogs are scared and crying
>dad tries best he can to control them, I try to help, tells me to fuck off
>That's over now time to get started on dinner, sell has gone from one side of face to upper lip area being grotesquely inflamed
>Sister wanted to make her """"tacos"'""" tonight but she has a friend over and doesn't want to actually cook
>Dad makes everything for her
>Finally sit down to dinner, mom comes home from work
>She tries to convince my dad to go to the hospital and get plasma so that it's all over with but dad fucking hates hospitals so he's gonna wait it out like last time
>Dad can barely eat, has like 3 bites of taco meat then stops
>Head in one of his hands as he's watching TV but not really
>Gets up listlessly and fucks off to bed without a word
>Clean up table, take out trash
>Almost tear up when outside and alone because I don't want my dad to be like this
