Office Christmas parties how awkward/cringey are they when you all go out make fools of yourselves from being so drunk then having to face eachother the next day :p. Or if you dont get on with certain people and you having to make small talk in the party

    It's never a good idea to get drunk at an office party. I've known people sacked after getting legless at the work do.

    Nothing can beat the secretary/receptionist of our company twerking the accountant in full view of his wife last week. He was clearly embarrassed. his wife furious and he atmosphere in the office since has been murder ! Hope they all get over it when they come back to work in the new year because it's affecting everyone :o

    Don't get too rat faced or you may end up with your heat on a pikestaff at Trators Gate given the location.:p

    Personally I prefer to give works do's a miss.

    They should be banned.

    I mentioned this in another thread the other day, but the most cringetastic episode I saw was a colleague who was into heavy rock at the office party, asked the DJ did he have any AC/DC. Once "Back in Black" came on, he ran to the boss' table whilst shitfaced, knelt down in front of him and his wife, then played air guitar all the way over onto his back. To compound this facepalm-worthy behaviour, he then grabbed a load of beef off the boss' plate held it triumphantly above his head, before lowering it like entrails into his mouth.

    The boss was not impressed.

    I'm impressed he had anything by AC DC, thought it was all Agadoo and old Abba, Slade and Queen songs these days.

    Aw, do you? Your user name is most appropriate then. Misery!

    Actually, joking apart, I pick and choose work do's. The Christmas party is always something I go to. The firm are paying for me to eat and drink! Also, you can just have fun yapping, having a laugh and a boogie. It's the minority that can spoil it, and I tend to just stay away from them or leave if things get bad.

    No, not quite :D think Miley Cyrus in painful looking knicker and bra jiggling her bum at some Awards do earlier this year :)

    Ours is tomorrow, just a meal at the pub, although boss and his wife are guaranteed to get bladdered, which is usually a laugh.

    Most cringeworthy, many moons ago when two people decided it would be a great idea to have sex in one of the offices, which had glass windows along one of the corridors, and ended up performing in front of most of the people they worked with (no, I was neither a participant or a watcher - thankfully for them in was well before the days of mobile phones, never mind mobile phones with cameras)
