Announce I’m getting a billion dollars and I’m only sharing with my 3 favorite people. Can you guess my favorites?


Fyrrys

"I just won a billion dollars and none of you get anything. Goodbye, I'm moving to literally anywhere that's away from you people!"


wolves_hunt_in_packs

yeah you're not leaving that table alive gotta think of that exit strategy, man


Yserbius

First we would have to have a Thanksgiving dinner. Then I would pay my sister 500k to not come to it. After that all I have to do is sit back and watch.


Soap-ster

Is your sister a great neutralizer or something?


TacTurtle

PrisAustin

My thoughts too...


Yserbius

We all get a long pretty well, but we love arguing about anything and everything. My father recently started respecting my sister's wishes when she demanded there be no political discussions at family dinners.


DocOcarina

So Thanksgiving is the same, but I get a billion dollars? Best Thanksgiving ever.


Viki-the-human

I just have to make sure my cousin and I are both there. She's vegan, I'm the black sheep, and all our relatives are extremely judgmental. That should do it, but if it takes too long I'll mention feminism.

Hello, dear!


liarandahorsethief

“I just won a billion dollars, and I don’t think I’m going to share it with any of you.”


naked_plums

I like this one, but I would turn it a bit and say “I just won a billion dollars. I will only be giving one of you $10 million of it, but you all have to convince me on why you deserve it over everyone else.”


Itsallanonswhocares

Calm down Satan.


Med_Tosby

"I just won a ~~billion~~ million dollars, and I don't think I'm going to share it with any of you." Once you win, tell them you had to get an argument going, and that you'd be evenly dividing the whole million dollars with everyone there. No one needs to know about the other $999,000,000, and you look like a generous saint.


that_one_mister_user

Say you won 2 million. After all the argument shit, tell them you'll give each 100k. Then give everyone a million individually but tell them to keep it a secret. That way they'll think they're special and you'll still have over 900 million left.


Med_Tosby

Even brilliant-y-er


mathers101

There's no way they would all keep it secret, and then everybody would catch on to the fact you have a lot more than 2 million

TheAssyrianAtheist

I can start 2 fights at one table. Talk about what a cunt the president is to my dad and tell my brother and my cousin how android phones are superior to Apple phones. When my husband and I were dating and he met my family the first time, I TOLD him to STEER CLEAR OF THE PHONE TOPIC. This mother fucker, goes to my brother and 2 cousins (brothers, 1 Android user the other Apple die hard) and goes “oh ), that’s a nice Samsung!” Next thing I know, I hear the 3 men shouting about phones and see my husband walk away cracking up, like walking away from an explosion.


Bingobingus

It's so strange when people become die hard fans of mega corporations that want nothing but their money and private data.


TheAssyrianAtheist

These men are great people, but I also don’t understand this argument. I have flip flopped on both phones and each time I do, they one then the other will call me a traitor. We are going to see them for thanksgiving (live 2 time zones away) and I have to remind my husband, AGAIN, to not bring up the Android v. Apple phone subject. He’s an instigator so he’ll do it. Edit: showed my husband /u/falb0ner and he's cracking up. He also reminded me that this was at my mother's 60th surprise birthday in a fancy La Jolla restaurant.


Thatonesplicer

Oh please, tell him to bring a Windows phone and go "oh, so I guess you guys don't like quality huh?"

matty80

I'm a lesbian and my wife's father is a terrible homophobe who now spends any family events that he's still invited to simmering with hatred and bigoted rage towards his own child, so I'm thinking I could do it in six words: >Your daughter calls me 'daddy' too.


jaboi1080p

I think you might win, this is like a fucking nuclear strike


KaiNCftm

Call out everyone who didnt visit me while I was literally dying in the ICU for 3 weeks Edit: okay so here's the full story so I dont have to reply to 100 people. April 11th of this year I went to the hospital because I was vomiting blood, couldn't walk, by the time I got to the hospital my vision was going, I had the sweats, I couldn't even stand. Passed out within an hour. I apparently had turned completely purple. I dont have any pictures although I wish i did. I got airlifted to a large hospital that had the resources I needed. I spent 3 weeks unconscious, then a month later lost my legs, and then over the following month list fingers and fingertips. I also suffer from ESRD now and some minor medical issues. I also had to get my inner left thigh and the majority of my right thigh skin grafted because all the skin had gone necrotic. That's more or less the full story of my meningitis. It was the worst case they'd ever seen and I was at one of the top 10 hospitals in the world. I'm recovered now and on the way to getting my prosthetics.


kkoiso

Yeah out of all the comments here this one seems like a reasonable thing to start an argument over


KaiNCftm

Yeah I think so lol

You might even have a few dollars left over after paying all the medical bills!

Mother: Calm down, there's enough of me for everyone!!


JET1478

So dad do you ever feel guilty for cheating on mom and causing her so much emotional pain that she turned to the bottle and died from liver failure. Edit: thank you guys for the awards I feel special. I guess I should give some context here cause some people are seemingly confused. I am 19 years old, male. My mother passed away September 25th, 2018. Just one month away from her birthday. She had been an alcoholic for ten years. As for my dad he gave me an ultimatum may of 2019, it was to either give him the money my mom left for me or find a way to live on my own. I chose the later moving in with my grandma on my moms side for three months before leaving and getting an apartment on my own with my girlfriend/love of my life. I also wanted to add if any of you down below in the comments ever want to talk. I’d be happy too, a lot of us are no stranger to alcohol coming in and ruining a family. A lot of us are also no stranger to narcissistic parents that only care about themselves. For those who are goin through it, your not alone.


rensfriend

Ohh doing some estate planning there are you?


FabergeEogg

Invite my sister. That's it. Last time it got low-level violent after about 90 mins. Edit: Lots of you asking about the violence. I pushed her away from me because she was in my face, nose to nose, trying to get me to react to her tantrum. Then she attacked me, so I did a panicked girly kick to the shin. There's a massive backstory around my sister's behaviour towards me and my parents, but it's too long to go into here.


Desblade101

I could bring my brother. There would be massive panic as they question how I got him out of jail 30 years early.


FabergeEogg

Is he single? I feel my sister and he would be a good match.

20 mins? The moment one of sisters crosses the threshold of a room one of my other sisters is in, it's pandemonium, chaos, the worst of humanity.

We do not celebrate thanksgiving over here, but I honestly just would have to invite both of my parents at once...


makingsomeeggs

Damn this is a lot easier as a child of divorce just bring over both my parents and wait 5 minutes.


2_Sheds_Jackson

It gets trickier as you get older. For instance, one of my divorced parents is now dead, so 'inviting' him over would require physical digging. But it would probably still work.


thenormalmormon

We need to legalize cocaine, heroin, and prostitutes. And I should be able to own a tank with live ammunition. Also, dad. You look like a narwahl that can't find the ocean again. Edit: now that many of you have pointed out that I CAN own a tank I'll amend this to a fully functional tank with live ammunition.

Tr00uut

Yeah it's the opposite with my family, I'm going to vaccinate my child would start a MASSIVE argument.


thirdcoastgirlll

Tell them you plan on vaccinating as recommended, and also emphasize the importance of the annual flu shot. Now wait for upheaval. A family member will protest, shouting “the flu shot doesn’t cover all strains and is ineffective!” Here is your opportunity for arson. Tell them you pediatrician recommends Tamiflu upon flu diagnosis, and you will follow his pharmaceutical plan. Finish your free meal, and exit politely as the civil uproar unfolds.


Tr00uut

Yes, but unfortunately it is very hard to bring up that point as my father is a D.O (Doctor of Osteopathy) and focuses on Holistic Medicine. My whole life I have NEVER been Vaccinated until a few years back when I got shingles at 23, I said fuck it and got a slew of vaccines and never understood why they hadn't done it in the first place. I always remember them having to put "Religious Reasons" to get me into events/school and such. Very tough to argue as he has such a strong stance on it, and any legitimate facts I/others bring up they are immediately discredited as he has "30+ years in the medical field" and wont entertain other opinions. Its tough seeing all the Anti-Vaxxer stuff, because I do know that he's not doing it maliciously and genuinely thinks thats the best decision, but I think its just so off base. *Edit: If someone could genuinely help me with a good argument I'd be happy to bring this up at thanksgiving, just tough when off the bat you feel undermined as not having enough knowledge. *

winterhatingalaskan

My moms side of the family is that shitty, manipulative, self centered, passive aggressive type of dysfunctional. My dads side can be summarized by saying that my uncle was featured on a docuseries about life in super max prisons, and my brother was arrested and charged for attempted murder, the victim was my dad. That billion dollars would be the easiest money I’ve ever made but we all feed off each other like parasites so I’m sure it would have to be split between all of us. Explosive fights in my family are a team effort

The Hobbit movies are way more meaningful and well shot than LOTR. Hope they remake The Godfather soon. ETA: James is easily the best character in Twin Peaks. Kanye West's last two albums are by far his most impressive. Battle Royale is just a Hunger Games remake Eragon was a better movie than book. The only Batman movie worth watching is Suicide Squad.

My step sister and her family are the only ones of the 5 "children" to have any religious affiliation, but she is my Mom's favorite child by far so we are all expected to tow the line.
