What's the craziest behaviour you've witnessed at a Christmas work do?

[ChristmasDoDo]

Years ago there were a couple of (female) Head of Departments that were frenemies. They actually worked really well together but there was an undercurrent of rivalry there. That year at the Christmas do they were friendly enough to start off with but a couple of bottles of vino later the gloves came off - one of them accused the other of giving a member of her team a BJ in her office, she totally kicked off and the pair of them ended up on the dance floor rolling around trying to pull each other's hair out. It was completely nuts. One of them later resigned and HR released a policy of how to behave when on work socials. That was the last year the company held a Christmas party.

@Maximusdecimus A similar thing happened, many years ago, to my late DGM. She never drank normally, but one year her colleagues badgered her as to what she liked to drink, so she replied “Baby Cham” (I said it was a long time ago) and they got a crate of it in for the party. She felt obliged to drink it (I don’t know how many she actually had) and had to be sent home in a taxi, in which she threw up. She was the life and soul of the party even without alcohol.

15 of us walked out without paying.
Completely by accident.
We had transferred the money in advance to our boss but she was very very merry on the night and and forgot to pay.
Our poor Dr's (quite well known locally) suffered the indignity of having their faces all over FB when the restaurant published a photo of us all the next day.
Half the town posted "that's my GP" 😞

Bloody hell! Some of these are awful. The worst we've had is people falling over drunk and one notable year when the CFO took his shirt off and started twirling it round his head on the dancefloor.

Do tell!

Can we include personal stories? First Christmas do in a new office and I got off with a (Catholic) priest. We had a relationship for nearly two years afterwards.

I agree, as did my friend who at the time was really shocked and left the Christmas celebrations early. It was the following week that she picked up on the feeling that for the male workers it was just a bit of extra fun for them, which too most other people it would of course be seen as not that at all. When her temping time with that company ended she left and I can remember her telling me that during the time she worked there no-one treated her unfairly or were sexist etc. It seemed to be on that night out they all went a bid mad.

Tops everything. 😂

New boss started just before Christmas and one manager decided to sit and insult him all night and not in a subtle way. Funnily enough she is no longer with the business. She also got so drunk she fell over and broke her arm and was off sick for months.

No craziness but our retail company always had their Christmas party at the same time as the funeral parlour plus a number of other companies.
Funeral directors were the life and soul.
They used to dance with everyone just to make sure they were ALIVE.

(Are you... Fleabag?)

Great respect BTW.

I used to work for a small offshore survey company, in Aberdeen. They booked a coach to take us down to a hotel in Glen Clova and one guy of about 25 / 26 was already pissed by lunchtime, when the coach left.

He carried on drinking on the bus and went on a bizarre racist rant about Aborigines. He was from Surrey.

By about 4, he'd thrown up in the bar and was generally being a complete fucking nuisance. The company owner's wife tried to calm him down and he roared, "Fuck off you slag!" Company owner guided him out to reception, where he puked into a big copper bowl of pot pourri.

He then wandered out to have a smoke. He was discovered about an hour later, face down in a bush, covered in snow. Company owner ordered a taxi and paid up front. Apparently, he pissed himself in the taxi and was kicked out at Laurencekirk.

On Monday, he went to apologise to the company owner, who said, "No bother, we've all had a bit much to drink sometimes." He was Glaswegian.

It was like a gynaecology appointment gone very wrong.

This genuinely made me spit my tea out laughing.

My sons old school had a works do at a hotel. School staff. Police was called and they was banned from that hotel chain. Lots of extremely bad and criminal behaviour. From teachers.

Will you say what happened?

Omg that response is hilarious after the antics and especially calling his wife a slag 😮 Gotta love the Scottish, anything goes 😄

🤣😩 oh dear

No south West actually! I see him occasionally, still think gobshite when I see him.

Good lord. Cackling at this.😂

I’m laughing so much at this that I’ve scared the cat.

Did she get a promotion? The fact she got that close he must of liked it lol

I worked at the head office of a German supermarket in London. During the Christmas night out, one of the senior buyers sneaked back into the offices, took a gift box, did a shit in it and left it in the middle of his assistant’s office. Absolute chaos the following morning when she opened the box! He left to work at another supermarket soon after…

Food fight in the function room of this posh London pub many years ago. The very serious husband of the very serious manager got a sprout in the middle of the forehead, left a green mark. Funniest thing I’ve seen for years.

Years ago I was a TA. School Christmas night out. All dancing away and the Yr5 teacher decide to "Jump" flinging her arms up. The strapless dress didn't jump and she flashed her boobs. Yr6 teacher (male), spent the rest of the song trying to encourage her to jump again. Then "Reach for the Stars" was played...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
