Thanksgiving Fails 2013: Twitter Users Who Had A Worse Holiday Than You

Thanksgiving: a time for giving thanks, good food, good people, but above all, waiting to see what goes wrong this year. Whether it’s Uncle Harry dropping his toupee in the gravy or the oil in the turkey’s deep-fryer catching fire, most people experience some kind of unanticipated excitement on Turkey day.

In anticipation of the all-American holiday, comedian Jimmy Fallon shared a story about how on Thanksgiving his mother had to bail out his sister’s boyfriend from jail.
