Should I leave with immediate effect? Mortified at my own behaviour

[youcanonlydraftthefuture]

We had our Christmas 'do' late November. On Friday we decided to all go for a few small drinks. I arrived late and people had been having drinks for a good hour or so before me.

I'm not really an alcohol lover so a few WKD sends me a bit off the rails

I haven't let my hair down in a very long time, probably not before pregnancy with DC who's now 2.

Anyway, I had a great time and ended up letting my hair down just a bit too much. I involved myself in shots and lots of other lovely tings that don't make you realise how much you're drinking.

I won't go into too much detail but my horrendously embarrassing ordeal involves a flying mooncup.

Should I resign immediately? I don't think I can face anyone again. Everyone seemed drunk too from what I can remember clearly but they seemed far more 'with it' than me.

don't resign.
you are ok.
I have been the line manager of someone who did this. It was fine. we drew a line under it. everyone understands that after-work drinks at Christmas time have a different rule book to normal life. back in the office everything is on a professional footing again.

(when I say "did this" I mean got rather to drink and behaved inappropriately and very different to normal. not specifically the thing with the mooncup)

I'm sorry but this made me giggle. You sound like a right laugh! You need to just own it

There are so many worse things you could have done and everyone else will be glad that you hid their drunk mistakes with yours.

There'll be cocktails named in your honour Op.

A bloody Fairy

A flying mooncup

A menstruating mama

A Sanpro shocker

This has really made me chuckle, all they will remember is what a great laugh you were!

I was picturing a middle-aged version of Carrie.
I’m gone 😂😂
Sounds like a good night and nothing too embarrassing, don’t worry. Everyone is probably thrilled that you’re lots of fun.

Since you've already had texts saying you were a great laugh, don't fret - style it out and just laugh along. You have the beer fear, it will pass.

That’s hilarious! No shame there. Plus educational. An all rounder really.

This is hilarious.
You're going to be a legend forevermore - in a nice way.
Own it. It's fine.

I had visions of you pulling it out of your vagina, used and blood spattering.

This is brilliant youcanonly . You know you probably made a night that some were quietly dreading into the best craic they’ve had in ages. Don’t worry about facing people, imo the best thing you can do is style it out as the kids say!

Ha ha! It's really not that bad. I thought you were going to say you slept with the boss or something! It's quite normal to look back at a drunken night and feel mortified by your behaviour, but you didn't hurt anyone so don't worry about it.

If anything you now have a punchline you can laugh it off with. "Aye, well at least I whipped it out of my handbag, another WKD or two and lord knows where I'd have extracted it from."

Oh god @MaidenMotherCrone I just saw your cocktail list !🍸

Yes fine, but what is your New Year's Eve party trick going to be? Can't disappoint your audience now, can you?

Mooncup Martini, anyone?

I have done much, much worse than that, OP. I’ve been sick on a priceless rug in my boss’s office, snogged my boss, shown everyone my crotch less knickers, and had a threesome with a couple of colleagues (that made the next morning a tad awkward).

Oh yeah, you are gunna have to do the walk of shame on Wednesday haha, prepare yourself for some mild ribbing and laugh along while apologising and saying you are so embarrassed then in a few days it will all blow over............. until next Christmas party lol.

This is hilarious OP

Thanks for giving me the best laugh I've had all weekend.

I don't think you've anything much to worry about if your colleagues think you are a right laugh and want to go out with you again! You'll just go down in office folklore.

What will your New Year party trick be?

I love that you were promoting reusable sanpro even while drunk! They weren't just work-party-drunken-shenanigans, those were... Mumsnet-work-party-drunken-shenanigans! 😂

This is one of the funniest things that I have read on here. You sound like a complete hoot. Please don't leave, your colleagues would be devastated! Maybe just stick to one or two drinks at the next party though

A deputy head of my acquaintance stuck two beer bottle caps inside his shirt as nipples and sang a very rude song, or three. He is now the highly regarded executive head of a huge consortium of three schools .

Waves to G**.

mind you, this was prior to the days when everyone had phones, so no records exist.

Please don't day you pulled it out of your fanny

Omg sorry OP but that is hilarious.

Breeze into work, owning your brilliant environmental credentials. 👍

Don’t believe
