My uncle caused a 20 minute screaming match over gravy last Thanksgiving

We were in Cleveland at my grandma's house, everything was normal until my uncle Dave poured his gravy directly onto the turkey instead of the mashed potatoes. My cousin Jenna stood up and yelled "you're ruining the whole plate structure" and it turned into this huge fight about gravy etiquette. I sat there eating my dry turkey wondering how 12 adults could care this much about a brown sauce. Has anyone else had a family member with a completely unhinged opinion on how to apply gravy?

Oh man, I feel for you. My aunt and her husband literally stopped talking to each other for three hours at Christmas over whether you're supposed to put cranberry sauce on the same plate as the stuffing, like it was some kind of culinary war crime. I just sat there eating my sad green beans wondering how adults can get that heated over lumpy berries and moist bread.
