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 😳

"It's happened to all of us?" No.

I puked in a mini bus at the start of a two-hour journey. Not just on the floor, but literally over several colleagues. One of the men had to get out of the mini bus, take his clothes off and have bottles of water poured over him. We stopped at another colleague's house half way there (he lived mid-way) so he could wake up his wife. She brought a pair of pyjamas out of the house for me to change into (I was also covered in sick) before getting back on the bus to continue the journey. On Monday, I did expect to get the sack. Luckily for me my boss was a bit of a drinker and said she'd made an idiot of herself in the past too. That was over ten years ago now and I have never drunk at a work event again. Ever. You'll be ok. Stick to the diet coke next time :)

Special Scottish socks...I'm in pain with laughter

Summer party in office, atrium glass lift type office. Two secretaries went up in the lifts and mooned the entire firm. They left actually.

Another solicitor had a few drinks and flicked food at a work event and it went into a client's eye and he had to go home early. That was cringeworthy.

Smug that none of these anecdotes involve me

I have been horrific at a christmas party in the past, took years to live it down. I had to be removed from a gay bar and taken back to my hotel before I disappeared off with someone..

I've messaged boss to apologise and she said it was hilarious but I'm still filled with shame

I kept my best for last

My leaving lunch/evening out. I was always known as the life and soul of the party - so when my boss asked what drink I wanted to start; a Jagerbomb was probably not the way to go

Wailed through the speeches my colleagues made, got stoned in the beer garden, threw up in the restaurant, fell asleep in the toilets - eventually got thrown out, sat on the street at FIVE PM, lay down for a sleep and my boss had to use my thumb to unlock my phone to ring DH

Ladies and gentlemen. I got our entire Government department banned from the very nice bar and restaurant FOREVER

I was also transferring. So old bosses rang up to tell the tales to the new bosses I expect to hear the end of it in approximately seven years ffs

My boss got chucked out of a club for being too drunk then proceeded to walk down the middle of the road.

A colleague shat on the grass outside the hotel we were staying in for a conference.

Another colleague got extremely drunk at a different conference literally a couple of weeks into the job.

God there are so many...you're definitely not alone op!

I've never done anything too awful although I did once have the worst hangover after an office event and spent the next day having to run to the loo to be sick. A lunchtime nap at my desk sorted me out.

We have a lovely manager in her late 50s, she is well known for the Christmas party a few years ago where she got up on the table in a very short skirt and danced the whole night away showing all of the party her knickers. Two of our colleagues who were in her daughters class at school ended up taking her home because they knew where she lived and no taxi would take her. We adore her and she's usually the first person we invite on works nights out, though she's never got drunk since. Style it out, you'll be fine it happens to the best of us.

As everyone else has said, all you can do is brazen it out and hope you don't work with Aquamarine

Breeze in on Monday, take choccies to the person who put you in a taxi, and just smile and say 'Yep, I won't be drinking for a while' to anyone else who comments.

Someone else will do something daft soon enough and it will all be forgotten.

Oh well we have all been there, you are going to have to brazen it out. Laugh at yourself no joke about growing old disgracefully. Thank your boss for putting you in an Uber and say never again!

Aquamarine how many times a day do you iron your knickers?

Dancing on a table in a casino singing "My Boy Lollipop". Luckily everyone thought it was hilarious. "Ha! Ha! Look at reckless......."
You are definitely not alone OP.

I think Aquamarine's getting a hard time here.

I once took my managers to a very ropey bar with a pool table. Aggressively and drunkenly challenged them to a game of pool, all of them against me. They complied. I'd never actually played pool before.

youhavetobekidding Haha. Thanks but I can handle it. If being dismayed that grown ups go out with co-workers, drink to the point of puking and passing out, only to go home and puke in their own bed like a 16 year old makes people criticize me, that's just fine.

Yes I cringe.

Christmas party, dinner and disco at a hotel, quite plush. Newish ( but small )company.
Director had invited a very important new client to the event he was hoping to impress to win a multi million pound deal.
I became overly friendly with the new client and ended up spending the night with the guy in his hotel room shagging. ( I was single at the time)
So embarrassed the next day, I had to dash home to shower and change and didn't get into the office until lunchtime.

My company did win the contract - so not all bad

I still have flash backs to my fateful drunken works night out. Managed to fall down a flight of stairs dressed as sexy santa, drink in one hand, fag in the other. Ended up in a heap at the bottom of the stairs with my sexy santa outfit round my head and stockings and suspenders on show. Unfortunately my boss was right behind me. I did however manage to save my drink and fag. That was 10 years ago and I've never drank on a works do since.
Brazen it out OP, with a bit of luck everyone else will have been in a similar state and won't remember .

Oh god jungle that has made me feel mildly better

This thread is so me
I took my top off on the dance floor and offered it to my new boss to wear

aquamarine I get you strongly disapprove of my actions, and I am full of regret believe me but this is not and never will be a regular thing, I had far too much to drink on an empty stomach and consequently showed myself up royally. I not asking people for license to excuse my behaviour just asking others who have been in same boat on occasion to share their stories to make me feel slightly less ashamed and get me through this horrific hangover. Not sure this is the thread for you if tales of drunken debauchery disgust you.

Oh stop being so sanctimonious Aquamarine1029

Op you probably have 'the fear' too.

I've got pissed at Xmas party's, I sing when I get drunk.

See this is why I do not go on work nights out

Yes. I went on a works night out once and inamongst the crowd was a (rather dishy) chief inspector from the local police force. We were outside the nightclub in the smoker's area and he lit a cigarette (I was just chatting) and puffed on it thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly he passed it to me as though it were a joint (i.e. filter/roach end first) and not only did I take it, I took a couple of puffs as though it were a joint, and passed it back the same way.

He looked at me with a wry "I've got you sussed" smile.

The shame of it is that I haven't actually touched a joint since the 90s 😂

beefy i have the fear to end all fear
