Interested in views on this.
Had work Christmas party tonight. Department one tonight, the big company party was last week. I'm pregnant so was driving. Everyone else was fairly hammered.
I didn't go to the party last week, but my friend told me that two of my colleagues were "looking very cosy" in a corner together. Both married with kids. It's not admirable behaviour by any stretch of the imagination.
However, my friend went on to tell me that another girl (who, to my knowledge, isn't exactly a great mate of this pair, simply a busybody who loves a bit of drama) spent pretty much her whole night trying to keep them apart. At the end of the night she apparently pretty much forced the girl of the pair into a taxi rather than letting her go clubbing with everyone else.
Tonight, same thing happens. Same pair at it again. This time, girl from previous week (not in attendance) has asked her pal to keep an eye on the situation. Same thing happens, basically.
Now, their behaviour, as I've said above, isn't nice, and obviously I'm not condoning it. I do however feel they are adults who don't need babysat, and random people involving themselves in their business. I take issue with these girls basically involving themselves in the situation. It is one thing a close friend pulling one of them to the side and asking what they're playing at, even trying to remove them from the situation, but it is quite another for the office busybody to involve herself whilst pretending she's being oh-so-good and selfless 🙄
My friend fundamentally disagrees with me. She said "it's not nice to see that, someone should step in". She thinks I'm being too cynical of busybody's motives.
They were both drunk, but I don't think completely out of the game drunk. And seeing as this pair are becoming a recurring theme, it's clearly not just a drunken nonsense thing.
