Awkward Thanksgiving Moments

Anyone want to share their awkward Thanksgiving moments?
Mine was when my cousin's cousin was hitting on me in front of his fiancee. Um, ew. Gross. So not my type. Engaged. Mercilessly teased and picked on me when I was fat. Again, ew.

Anyone else with awkward moments to share?

I was hit on by the boyfriend of one of my cousins at one Christmas dinner. He was rather drunk. Yuck.

I guess he likes the way you look NOW!

You should have snidely reminded him. "That's odd. You didn't like me before when I was fat. You should have realized what was underneath and been KIND and stuck around for the real me.

I always think Oprah has had the last laugh. Even thoough she gained a lot of her weight back, she is representative of the motto: "Living well is the best revenge!"

Most Awkward Thanksgiving???? Remember the old Sat. Night Live shows where Dan Ackroid would say "Jane, you ignorant slut" ? DH loved that line and would always joke around with me saying "Acklander, you ignorant slut" just to be funny.
At a BIG thanksgiving dinner with ALL the relatives, we're sitting around the table eating when DS (about 6 at the time) said "Mom, you ignorant slut" (not realizing what the words meant, just remember hearing his dad say it in a funny way) . My brother, without missing a beat turned to DS and said, "Don't call your mother ignorant"
While my brothers and sisters were aware of the Dan Ackroid skit, my parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents had no idea. Made for a pretty awkward moment.

Everyone went around the table and said what they were most thankful for. We were mostly sarcastic, saying "I'm thankful because Lauren buttered my roll", "I'm thankful for my cat who woke me up 3 times last night" and we get to my Mom, the last person at the end of the table. She says "I'm glad this year is almost over. This was the worst year of my entire life."

It was seriously so very very awkward. My sister broke the silence by shouting 'YEAH! LET'S EAT!' and everyone forgot my Mom said anything.

But on the bright side, it makes a GREAT story now!

What can I say? I am just all sorts of fabulous!

So true! I just felt so bad for his poor fiancee! She just sat there all sorts of pissed off!

Thanks, that's the best laugh I've had all night.

Mine was meal-related. We had a big gathering with 25 people and my DH decides to offer up dessert. (We had several pumpkin pies that were supposed to be the single dessert offering, and a single chocolate cream pie that was for a few people we were having over the next day.) DH stands up and offers everyone the choice between chocolate cream pie and pumpkin.

15 or so people opt for the chocolate cream pie. Oh my! It was pretty darn awkward when I had to stand up and say "Ooops! DH mispoke. We've got pumpkin pie NOT chocolate cream pie".

We laugh about it now.

not Thanksgiving but two Christmases ago i was with DH and his family and one of his cousins, while i was giving him a hug good bye, decided he wanted to grab my butt.

apparently he did the same to my DSIL and then i found out a few weeks ago he grabbed his own cousin's chest.

they family claims that he has some sort of mental problem, and i understand that, but no one ever corrects him for doing those types of things so he just goes around and thinks it's fine.

i told my DMIL that the next time he did it i was going to slap him in the face....she encouraged me! lol

Well if you want to talk about yesterday's Thanksgiving, my sister's divorce just went through a couple weeks ago. The guy was basically a complete idiot, he pretty much left her because his mommy said so, there was plenty of drama just from that. Anyway, we all pretty much have to watch what we say around her because the littlest thing will set her off into a crying spree.

So yesterday, my grandfather decides to give a toast saying he hopes to live to the day when he can walk down the aisle of both of his granddaughters, and live to the day when he can hold his great grandchildren. Of course, my sister starts crying, and then everyone starts yelling at my grandfather. Then, I ended up having to start acting drunker than I was because I am a silly drunk, I start singing and laughing when I'm drunk. So then everyone kinda forgot that my sister was upset, my sister forgot to be upset and instead she finds it funny when I get drunk, since I never drink normally.

Mine is probably of a different nature than most, as we went to a restaurant for dinner. There were 11 of us and our waitress was really great, but then we heard her having a confrontation with another customer. He was being really mean and nasty to her. She did defend herself a little, but ended up walking away which was exactly what she should have done. But we could see it rattled her. We were supportive of her, and gave her a big tip to which she said "this makes it all better, thank you so much." She had a nice big smile on her face and thanked us for coming in. I was glad we could brighten her day a little, and on our way out we told the manager what a great job she had done for us. He had just finished a long conversation with the grouchy man who'd yelled at her.

Nothing too major yesterday other then having to listen to our almost 3 year old nephew have a total screaming meltdown for 1/2 hour because his parents didn't want him to take a nap so he would go to bed earlier . Oh, and all of this taking place in their terribly echoey house with the cement floors, etc. I had the WORST headache!

Great Neice-who was expelled last March for selling marijahuana on the school bus for the second time and was failing school has gotten her GED. Good for her

She then announced she's starting college-because she wants to be a High school Teacher.

I found it ironic

Hopefully she learned her lesson--kind of like my BIL that was quite the troublemaker in high school-the local police knew him well--he is now a very good cop, mainly because he knows all the tricks.

It may seem ironic, but it's a really good sign that she's looking forward to the future in a positive way. She could be a really great role model for those who are struggling through high school.
