People's Most Embarrassing Office Christmas Parties


Office Christmas parties have a tendency to spiral out of control quickly. It could be all the aggressive enthusiasm and nerves that are already engrained into the holiday season, or people just letting themselves go a bit too much in honor the season. But alas, sometimes people manage to keep it together and actually have a genuinely, reasonably mannered good time. It's rare, but it can happen.

We all got two free drink tickets and decided to try to get the strongest drinks I could think of-Long Island Iced Teas. I thought I could handle my alcohol, but those were strong. Long story short, we were all really into cheering for our knight. I was standing on a chair cheering, and promptly fell right off. The good thing is only a few sober people seemed to not

Text - goblinish • 3y • ? I wore and ugly Christmas sweater, red plaid slacks and reindeer earrings while everyone else was in their work clothes (suits). I stood out like a sore thumb for sure. But people had told me they dress Christmasy for the party. W hat they meant was red ties with a snowman tie pin or snow flake jewelry or little details like that. No one told me that Christmasy meant "well add an almost unnoticeable amount of Christmas to your normal outfit". I embraced it though and ma

Text - [deleted] • 3y It was my husband's. I was pregnant and just starting to be at the point where I couldn't hide it (16-18 weeks?). There was a bar and I went to order Sprite because I was crazy obsessing over caffeine and thought Coke or Something would be "bad." They didn't have Sprite. I bawled. Like a crazy person. Bartender made me orange juice and seltzer filled with cherries and limes. 496 ...

Text - [deleted] • 3y The party was held in the basement of a restaurant on a slick/snowy night. I made my entrance by slipping and falling down the entire flight of stairs, dead sober. My coworkers all said it was like something out of a slapstick silent film. 1 55 ...

Text - chemchick27 • 3y • ? As someone who lives in Utah and works for the government, l'm amused at these stories. Government holiday parties are generally during the work day, with a potluck ir catered lunch. Absolutely no alcohol or crazy shenanigans. Just some good food and maybe, maybe a crazy holiday sweater or two. Vote ...

Text - tallulahblue • 4y • ? I went to a really great one yesterday. We went to the staffroom after junior prizegiving and there was bubbly and snacks. Then some teacher friends and | performed the dance we'd been secretly rehearsing for the last 2 weeks as entertainment. It was a dance battle between good and bad fairies as to who gets to hand out the secret santa presents. The other teachers loved it. everyone went to a restaurant on the waterfront with amazing views in all directions. We ate

Text - After the meal and entertainment most of us went and sat in the sun on the pier and had singalongs with a guitar. A few people jumped in the water. Then we all came back in and had karaoke / dancing inside. There was an after party at one of the teachers' houses where we ate pizza and had more dancing and singalongs until about 2am. I told a couple of my new friends that I loved them and they said it back. I ended the night tipsy and tearing up because I won't be seeing most of these peop

Text - missintent • 4y We rented a room in a fancy steakhouse for dinner and brought a company in that set up casino games for entertainment (gambling isn't legal in our state). Note, there was no actual money involved and they were only there for our entertainment, it wasn't like we were just at a casino. I was a few bottles of wine deep and talking to my friend at the roulette table while the dealer was talking. He interrupted us several times to say something and finally said to me "if you we
