holidays

Americans are sharing the grossest sides that show up at their tables for Thanksgiving dinner. Tis the season for all kinds of unexplainable madness from the family. The holidays just bring it out of people. And sometimes that means gross side dishes that have been passed down from generation to generation, when they should've been abandoned from the get-go. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their trashiest Thanksgiving memories. The common theme amongst these especially trashy moments is one of overconsumption. The overconsumption of the sauce! 

This dad asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for cutting his mother-in-law out of Christmas, after he hit his breaking point with her. It sounds like she's a toxic drama-stirring, upstaging mess. Might be best for the kids to not have that kind of person around, come the holidays? Or is he overstepping? 

Apparently a whole lot of people received random delayed text messages last night that were originally sent on Valentine's Day. This made for some very awkward interactions between people that had broken up with exes. Outside that it inspired a definite wave of mass confusion. 

These dad jokes are awful and we absolutely love them. You don't have to be a dad to like these truly shudder-worthy jokes, but if you are a dad, happy Father's Day. If you're not a dad, happy... day. We hope you enjoy causing pain to your loved ones with these horrendous jokes. 

Twitter user @Kane's stories about his dad in honor of Father's Day bear a striking resemblance to the legend, Ron Swanson. Sounds like one very cool dad!

Lust is alive and well in these text messages between interested women and willing men, in regards to Valentine's Day dates. Twitter User, @Oloni, kickstarted a Valentine's Day challenge for women to text their crushes about having had a crush on them for some time; and to share the results in a screenshot on Twitter, from there! The results we've seen are particularly successful. They'll either give you hope, or make you feel that much more content in your forever alone life. 

The shockwaves of emotion that must've gripped this family's room after they opened their gifts....although DNA testing kits can seem like innocent presents, there are some family secrets that don't want to be uncovered. This TIFU story surprisingly turned out not so bad. Phew. 

These people need to seriously rework their gift-giving approach. You have to try hard to be THIS BAD at gifts. 

These people took anything but a conventional approach to their Christmas Trees. 

Why can't we all just get along? Oh, it's cause you insist on calling Die Hard a damn Christmas movie. Or, it's cause you don't. Controversy, get it while it's piping hot. At least we're recycling it with this age old debate, this time. 

Sometimes the depths of someone's laziness can end up inspiring true works of genius. These people did it right, while giving zero f**k's along the way. 

This long con prank is the Christmas miracle, and gift that keeps on giving. It is so damn wonderful to see a great prank sprout from a clever idea.

Life hack: DON'T gift pepper spray in the first place, and if you do, keep that sh*t out of the stocking.
