Disgraced myself on a work night out

[ethanrayne]

Can anyone share their tales of similar drunken foolishness to make me feel better???

I can't remember most of details but according to a co worker vomiting and falling asleep in bar were involved 😳

@Pawsbutton god that is absolutely dreadful 😓

Gin - I know. He was recently married as well.

I think it's easy to forget how dangerous drink can be.

The party happened every year and was always a massive piss up. Loads of free booze, including a free bar.

I've done some awful things whilst drunk - things that should never have happened.

I've passed out and had to be carried home, I've flirted horrendously, I fell asleep in the pub and somehow managed to take me top and bra off... not good.

Alcohol is toxic and mind altering - having a laugh is fine, but you can really damage your career (not to mention health) if you overdo it in front of colleagues.

I used to work in a mainly male dominated industry which had parties that made the Wolf of Wall Street look like the Sound of Music

Somewhat annoyingly for this thread, I can't remember much of the most legendary nights, amongst which were broken bones and other injuries, police attendances, legal proceedings etc

I'm also clean and sober these days and must admit I look back and shudder at some of my own behaviour.

I do have vague recollections of being thrown out of a Pizza Express after being caught in illegal activity in the toilets . Fucking Pizza Express! It was only teatime too and full of children All those posh hotels and boats and other epic party places, and I get barred from Pizza Express

Paws I totally agree, in fact at one workplace they stopped providing the alcohol after one too many notorious incidents. IIRC they were told that the company were partly responsible for the ensuring shenanigans as they had failed in the duty of care to employees by providing free unlimited booze

There's a fine line where adults acting like dicks are either embarrassing and eye roll worthy, or hilarious and the stuff of workplace legends, isn't there?

A male colleague ended up in a fight with a man who had dwarfism after spilling a drink all over him. Decided to kneel to talk to him (it was very loud but that wasn't received well) and my colleague ended up getting knocked out with a single punch.

Death through alcohol poisoning is dreadful,of course, but this thread has thrown up some wonderful anecdotes too.

Special Scottish socks, the girl who decided it was a Good Idea to let the monstrous Xmas tree travel up and down in the lift (why? In your drink-sizzled way, just...why? To spread Christmas peace and love throughout the block? Who knows, but it clearly seemed a Good Idea at the time...

And then the girl who, after drinking loads of some blue stuff, was convinced she'd gone blind, only to be urged by her friends to "open your eyes!"

For All these, and many more,thank you everyone

Well as a practicing alcoholic ( 34 years sober )
I couldn't repeat most things, especially what happened after drinking whole red wine box

Op, if you get any grief about the night out, show them or tell them the stories on here!

I did know a military man who fell out a second floor window at a work party whilst trying to climb into the locked room next door via the window.
He landed in a garden of the next door house, dusted himself off and caught the bus home.
Woke up the next morning and couldn't remember a thing, but ended up getting bus to A&E as he his ankle was very sore and he thought he'd broken it somehow.
Luckily the doctor decided to give him a full examination, found out his neck was tender and discovered that he'd broken a bone in his neck.
Sadly this meant he failed his medical clearance for his job and ended up having to change careers, although he healed fine in the long term.

Went back to my new bosses house spewed my christmas meal all over her dining room and in a bowl she got for me left crying apologising for being sick in her dog dish ( she didn't have a dog ) we do however still laugh about it to this day

I drank too much at a lunchtime Christmas party and threw up as I left the hotel - right across the bonnet of a posh wedding car containing the bride just arriving for the service

A very previous manager of mine beat you all, with no alcohol.
Staying in a foreign hotel to visit a company site. His family lived a couple of continents away, so he decided to call them in the small hours. No local mobile, so he popped on his dressing gown, grabbed his keys, and went to the payphone at the lobby.
Made the call, went back to his room, and had erroneously grabbed the hire car keys. No room key. No overnight staff.
Sooooo, he let himself out and sat in the car, resplendent in his paisley number.
Realised he remembered the address of a local manager. Drove there, parked, and then wondered how to prevent scaring the family.
Tried the front door (????), found it open, so went in. Popped upstairs and KNOCKED ON THEIR BEDROOM DOOR!!!
Mrs Manager went ballistic/hysterical. Mr Manager steered him into the spare room, but saw the humour.

I know I have outed myself here. Oh dear. I still see him on occasion.

I hate 'the fear' he tends to appear the morning after all my nights out 😩

I saw two colleagues snogging in the ladies toilets in the bar at a work social.
I decided to share the gossip, so I drunkenly dragged everyone off the dance floor and shouted that they had to stand in a semi circle around the toilet door as I had something to show them.
The in my drunken state I decided to open the door dramatically by kicking it with a high kick, only the door was closed on the latch and made of thin wood, so I actually kicked a hole through it and my foot was stuck.
The snogging couple disentangled and helped get my foot out the hole.
My colleagues didn't see them snogging and all thought I'd insisted they come over to watch me kick a hole in the door!
Hilarious! I also liked the "just open your eyes" one.

This is legendary.
My managerial ex-friend, who was always over-friendly with male colleagues, was dressed in a super tight dress, boobs spilling all over the venue.
2 bottles of wine gave her the idea of dancing on a table. She was neither dressed, nor built for shimmying on a trestle table.
Table collapsed. Dress altered it's shape to rise up to her face. She wasn't showing her skimpy pants, oh no. The twat had gone pant-less.

Fired on Monday.

Her employment history also included dismissal for stealing a hoover. FFS!

30th Birthday night out in Birmingham.
10 single girls + 2 married (one being myself).
The sensible married girls went back to the hotel at 2-ish, had a tea and went to sleep.
We were woken by obvious antics at 6. We were in a separate room, so decided to ignore them.

We woke up at 8 and decided to get breakfast. Noted that every fucking hotel door handle was adorned with a variety of coloured ring doughnuts! Went to call the lift, which contained many of the pot plants from Reception. There were no plants left in Reception.

After breakfast we woke the fuckers up and pelted them with doughnuts. They had no recollection of their behaviour, until the doughnut boxes were shown to them.

They are hilarious, but utterly outrageous at times.
Not telling you about the ones I was involved in though!

Thankfully this wasn't with work, but DH and I once stayed in a lovely old fashioned hotel in Amsterdam and after a very drunken day we passed out went to bed. A few hours later DH got up and went to use the bathroom but mistook the door to the corridor for the bathroom door. He ended up in the corridor - stark bollock naked. It was one of the self locking doors and I was too pissed sleeping too deeply to hear his frantic whisperings at the door. He had to go to the reception, his hands cupped over his willy, to get another key He encountered a few guests on his journey to reception, but I think they may have been British as they politely ignored his willy nakedness and just said "Good evening".

10 points for kicking the door saga

Floofycat, that made me laugh! Your poor dh!
Being naked anywhere is a worry of mine! I couldnt deal with that.,

I got caught by security having sex with my bosses son in the mens loos at the office xmas party. That one took a long time to live down!

I went for xmas night, allegedly flirted with one of the drs (however i have been told i def did not). Was so pissed my colleague had to ring my husband to help me out the taxi. I fell getting out fracturing my eye socket (hospital, xray etc the following day) and had the mother of all hangovers. Wine is bloody evil stuff on an empty stomach!!

I suppose I could also show them this...

Floofycat - i sleepwalked in Paris and was taken back to my room wrapped in the sheet by a very traumatised concierge!

I had my drink spiked and while waiting for the ambulance I apparently slapped one of my bosses and told her to go away as I didn't like her! I also assaulted a doorman on a separate night out and my friends partner had to literally carry me home. I don't remember any of it but unfortunately its all on cctv camera!
Just go to work, apologize and say it won't happen again. Sooner or later someone else will do something to take the spotlight off you.
