Never in my 21 years on this earth have I heard anyone claim that the turkey is their favorite thing about Thanksgiving. If it is, you're probably in the 1% of people on earth that think so. Just saying. So why is turkey the worst part of Thanksgiving? Here are 25 reasons.

It Takes Forever To Cook

Giphy

I'm hungry and you're going to be in the oven for 5 hours? Seriously??

It's A Giant Bird

Giphy

The idea alone makes me want to become a vegetarian.

Carving it takes time too

Giphy

The clock is still ticking. I'm still hungry.

It's Just A Giant Piece Of Meat

Giphy

What's so great about it?? Let me know.

It Always Has The Most Leftover

Giphy

Because most people don't go back for seconds...

Literally Everything On The Table Is Better

Giphy

Everything.

Mashed Potatoes Are Better

Giphy

If you don't like potatoes, you're wrong.

Stuffing Is Better

Giphy

But not the kind that goes in the actual bird... *gags*

Sweet Potatoes Are Better

Giphy

With or without marshmallows, roasted, mashed, fried. Still better.

Cranberry Sauce Is Better

Giphy

And I don't even like cranberry sauce.

Broccoli Cheese Casserole Is Better

Giphy

If you tried it, you'd agree. It's a family staple.

Green Beans Are Better

Giphy

Eat your greens.

Salad Is Better

Giphy

Again. EAT. YOUR. GREENS.

Brussel Sprouts Are Better

Giphy

Coming from me, that says a lot.

Dinner Roles Are Better

Giphy

Bread. Duh.

Mac and Cheese Is Better

Giphy

Again, duh.

Gravy Is Better

Giphy

NO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO ON THE TURKEY.

Corn Bread Is Better

Giphy

It totally counts as a vegetable.

Snickerdoodles Cookies Are Better

Giphy

I only make these around the holidays and they are 10/10

Pumpkin Pie Is Better

Giphy

The official mascot of thanksgiving dinner.

Apple Pie Is Better

Giphy

A personal favorite.

Chocolate Creme Pie Is Better

Giphy

Chocolate is always better. Always.

Pecan Pie Is Better

Giphy

Honestly I can't vouch for this one but I bet I would still enjoy it more than a giant bird.

All The Pies Are Better

Giphy

Facts.

I Repeat. IT'S JUST A GIANT BIRD. 

Giphy

In case you forgot. *shrugs shoulders*

Maybe Thanksgiving isn't REALLY all about the turkey... but I'm still sticking with the fact that Thanksgiving could go without it. Oh well. Have a happy thanksgiving!

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
