Thanksgiving dinner is high-stakes. It's labor-intensive. And people have a lot of opinions about it. Basically, it's a recipe for disaster.

As home cooks across the country prepare their fridges for this year's feast, stories of Thanksgiving dinners gone wrong are also popping up on Twitter. Take them as funny anecdotes or serious warnings, but please take that Pyrex off the stove and don't forget to defrost the turkey this year.

Good luck out there.
