Colleagues having sex in the office out of hours

Someone got sacked from my previous job for getting caught on CCTV having sex in an open plan office late at night - it was two men and one woman

I'd keep out of it. At my last office there was a couple (both married to other people) who were having an affair. They got caught a couple of times getting up to mischief in a meeting room. No one reported it. We thought it was a bit of juicy gossip but that's as far as it went.

It's none of your business what they got/get up to. Just stay out of it.

AIBU to think this is massively inappropriate and to report it?

If you think it would be appropriate to report your friends for a one-off piece of drunken silliness that harmed no-one and didn’t scare the horses, I’d hate to see where your mind runs to when it comes to dealing with people you don’t like. 😬

Why report it?

would I do something like that?! No Do I think it’s right or appropriate?! No

My own opinions aside, I certainly wouldn’t report it. There is nothing to achieve, no body has been hurt. And tbh it’s just ‘gossip.’ And tbh would be a little vindictive to report it

I would tell HER that he’s told people… she might not be happy with that at all.
BUT YABU for not realising it happens all the time in the office!

Not very nice for everyone else if they did it over the Office Tea Trolley.

And all those rattling cups are a very off putting. (Apparently)

One way to go about losing friends I guess??
if it was a pet shop and they were jizzing over gerbils or a care home shagging in front of the patients etc then it’s a bit different but an empty office after a party just leave them too it. If the gossip has already started it won’t take long to get to the boss anyway

3rd party gossip. No proof. If it was a close friend I would probably let them know privately what gossip is going around but would not publicly pass on said gossip as they might just be testing to see who is the office sneak! Not your information so not your business.

Lol why would you report it leave them be. Only reason to consider reporting would be you'd found a load of pull out on your desk/keyboard etc.

Keep. Away.

Posts have made me chuckle - we had an ex boss who very much sleazed his way around the office. Plenty of women who fell for his charms. I think he used to go back to the office after a night out and have rampant fun on his desk (so the gossips say). I bet CSI would’ve had a field day with one of those black uv lights - jizz central!

After I heard the various rumours I used to always make sure I disinfected my desk before I started work.

God I must be bored at work but if my colleague told me she shagged someone on top of the printer it might liven up the day! It's a bit of fun and I imagine a daft once off. Good on them, though they should have kept their mouths shut as it will be doing the rounds in no time anyways.

If you want to end your friendship, get them sacked and earn the reputation as a vindictive cow who'll smile at your face and stab you in the back, crack on.

Work might not involve many pleasant nights out afterwards though

Mind your own business!

Better still go get a good rogering yourself, might loosen you up

Report what tjey had sex they didn't ask you or the whole office to join in lol

And honestly this is in the same bucket as kids who tattletale

Your hr team does not want to hear about a petty misdemeanour between two consenting adults.

If they broke the photocopier maybe. At a push.

You didn't walk in on them, you heard a bit of gossip. I'm just imagining the conversation with HR.

My best friends boyfriend was talking to John who told him that he did it with Kate in the boardroom.... yeah but no but...

(Vicky Pollard reference)

Fuckin hell you're one of those.

It's after hours, they got carried away. No harm done. Yes its a bit inappropriate but life happens, this isn't a massive deal.

Are you hoping to get them fired? Because that's literally the only reason you would report it.

No I wouldn't. It has literally no impact on you whatsoever.

Yes it’s very inappropriate. Why report it, what’s your goal? They’ll probably be disciplined, possibly fired. If you think that’s proportionate then go for it I guess? I would not personally choose to have that on my conscience but you may feel differently.

I once found a pube on my desk at work one morning. I wonder if we work at the same office?!

Why would you do that? How strange..
Just leave them to it, especially if they are your friends!
Such a strange thought to have.

Take some disinfectant wipes to clean down all surfaces that you work at 😆
Let them have their fun.
Although the guy is being a bit of a dick sharing that info!

So what! Lighten Up!
