I'm not a massive fan of nightclubs and heavy drinking at the best of times so usually avoid the work's nights outs. I did however agree to one a few months back and was left a little disalusioned by it to be honest and can't decide whether I'm justified in that or simply too old for my time!
Firstly before the night even begun it was determined that the sole purpose of the night was to get as drunk as possible by the end of it. I remember thinking this way when I was 16 and the thought is a little alien to me since I grew up!
Secondly I was shocked to see one of the women going around sticking her camera down everyone's tops to take a pic of their cleaverage (which would later end up on facebook). This is apparantly a tradition and everyone must have a boob picture taken 
Thirdly a few of the women seemed to morph into exotic dancers and started feeling each other up, spreading themselves across a pool table in rather luring poses and pole dancing around a beam for the benefit of the DJ.
And apart from this - the night seemed to turn into a free-for-all with regards to snogging random blokes despite the fact that their husbands would later be picking them up from outside the club!!
I thought maybe it was just an extreme night but I noticed on facebook photos from this weekend and it looks like a repeat of the night I went on. Boob pics, exotic dancing, pouting into the camera like a 13 year old school girl and random snogging.
I won't be going out with them again. Is it me?? am I too old before my time or is this just not normal for 30+ year old women, some of whom are married with kids and professional careers etc.
AIBU?
Is it normal for women in their 30s to act like stupid school girls on a night out?

YANBU, sounds hideous, but tbh they have probably always done this and had a laugh and don't see the need to stop in their 30s. The snogging of random blokes when you are married is a really though.
Even worse when it's your 50 something work colleagues doing it. I'm so glad I saw them drunk. Reminded me very early on to avoid personal friendships with any of them.
Go on, pictish, name me something more repulsive. 
Hey ho. I never went on girls' nights out even when I was 18. After 13 years at a girls' school, I never felt very keen on the idea of hanging out only with girls.
But they're not 'stupid school girls' they are adult women who can wear what they like, spend their own money how they want to and enjoy themselves as they see fit. If it's legal and doesn't affect you, why would you care? 
It doesn't appeal to me, I haven't the energy tbh, I like a nice g&t and a sit down, but more power to their elbow I say
It does sound a little like a song title, doesn't it!
I will tell you the worst thing I ever saw down there...
A group of us at the bar, we turn round after getting our drinks and there is a couple smooching behind us. The girl with her back to us. She is wearing a very very small dress, no knickers. The skirt was round her waist and the lads fingers were exploring the exit...if you know what I mean? We all just were like 
!
The lad spotted us and smoothed the skirt back down, the lass turned round and shrugged at us and then wandered off - without the lad!
