Can I add one...
Bringing the new boyfriend/girlfriend home for the first time.
Having said boyfriend/girlfriend call your mother's turkey dry.
Said boyfriend/girlfriend then acting rude to the entire family for the rest of the time.
(Let me just say I am glad I am going back to my place tomorrow, and I am ever so close to telling the boy to find his own way back so I don't have to spend 3 hours in the car with him.)

Didn't anyone mention pushing back dinner an hour because things aren't "done just right" then letting the most long-winded person bless the food?

Yikes. I spent my first Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's family this year, and his mother asked me and his brother's friend (from Iowa) if anything we traditionally ate was missing. I LOVE mashed potatoes and they didn't have them, but I didn't even bring that up because I thought it could be rude.

How about the relative who picks up the crystal bowl of mixed nuts and proceeds to pick out all the cashews while carrying on the conversation. My sister and I looked at each other like WTH???
Or dinner with the inlaws and their whole fam damly who think it's fine to have everyone bring turkey and/or side dishes and set them on the table at 10am and eat at noon when it is all cold/luke warm? eww eww eww. I hate cold food. Plus, at home I never let anything set on the table more than an hour or I throw it away. Then they save it all up and eat it again later in the evening. I ate only cookies for supper b/c I figure they didn't "go bad".

Try answering that question when the boyfriend's family goes to a Japanese restaurant on Thanksgiving.
Uh. Yeah. Everything.
Or having shellfish for the first time and finding out I'm allergic. Reason why I'd never had it before? My mom was allergic. I spent the evening in the hospital with my then-boyfriend's mom. That boyfriend went home - he was a douchebag.

Well, turkeys could always drop from the sky...
