21 Thanksgiving Fails That'll Make You Thankful It's Them And Not You

Some of us go to Thanksgiving dinner at a house where the cook is always on point—the turkey is moist, the pumpkin pie is sweet, and the mac and cheese is pea-free.

Others aren’t so lucky. We forget to defrost the turkey. We step on the green bean casserole. We drop the dessert before we even fully pull it out of the oven.

At least these Thanksgiving fails give us something to laugh about.

1. Ewwwwwwwwwww.

2. The person whose toddler stepped on the green bean casserole AND the pumpkin pie:

3. The people who tried to thaw their turkey in the bathtub…and ended up flooding their bathroom:

“Sooo… apparently it’s a northern thing to thaw your turkey in a bath full of water lol. Last night, I went to do just that…. and guess who forgot the water to the bath was running…. my new house is officially broke in after flooding my bathroom for an hour. Used every dang towel in the house to dry it. And fans all night.”
