They shared a text from a family member that asks for "some family jubilation and participation" for this year's turkey day. If you want to eat at this family's home, you need to bring your own chair! Yes, seriously! 

Not only did the wacky request state that everyone should bring their own seat, the message even includes links to buy chairs. These aren't just your average folding seats - they cost $30 each! "Thinking we should start with 8 or 12 [chairs]," the message reads. That's not the only reason the OP was ticked off at the request…keep reading below to follow this Thanksgiving drama that's as juicy as a freshly cooked turkey.
