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 😳

Oh i forgot to add. I still cant remember which senior partner i told i fancied. Both of them were there...i do remember he said it back though 😂

'Stick to your closest mates instead.' Bit difficult when your closest mates are your work colleagues!

ChorusLine69 · 15/07/2017 19:16

Fell in a bush when walking from bar to restaurant
Told one of the partners I thought he was a tosser to his face
Lost one shoe by the end of the evening
Luckily it was before Christmas so it was mostly forgotten by Jan!

A coworker offered me a lift home from a work do. We started at lunchtime, his wife came to pick him and I up about 7pm. I vomited in their car, in front of their two small children. Cost be £80 to have it valeted

HotNatured · 15/07/2017 19:18

at the posters who have missed the point and have just come on here to sanctimoniously declare what heathens you all are! Must be great to have lived such a blemish free life.

Actually, what am I thinking, it sounds shit.

VladmirsPoutine · 15/07/2017 19:33

I once got so drunk and hit on my then boss. He reciprocated and we had a relationship for 4 years. Turns out he was abusive.

I've also woken up in random places and had to piece back the evening before on my journey home.

I now only have a max of 2 drinks if I'm out.

exWifebeginsat40 · 15/07/2017 19:40

oh, where to begin?

in no particular order: fell off a bridge; snogged a gay colleague; stole a bottle of champagne from lunchtime drinks in the office and did elaborate tiptoeing down the corridor watched by a bemused Managing Director; DJd on someone's holiday; punched a friend's partner who came to drive us home; snogged my boss; spent an hour shouting at everyone to come and dance and then went immediately home when they did; snogged my boss again; cried in a taxi; cried in an indian restaurant; cried in a number of posh resaurants; nicked someone's cab and almost came to blows in a car park, in a long evening dress; got utterly shitfaced and spent the following day staggering hungover with my manager around Cherbourg during a rubbish strike...

there are so, so many more. i don't drink any more.

DragonMamma · 15/07/2017 19:42

Gosh, I'm a nightmare at work do's.

I have one Friday and I hope I can recreate myself. Already planning a carby lunch to try and slow me down but it never bloody works.

I just flirt outrageously with everybody and chew their ears off with incessant chatter...

Jojobythesea · 15/07/2017 19:53

I sat there pissed with my manager, colleagues etc, at a Christmas do talking about the fact that I couldn't eat Brie any more but only Camembert as Brie smells of Cum..... agggghhhh. That feeling when you wake up and it starts cum-img back to you

I fell asleep on a couch in a VIP bit of a bar a client had gotten us access to. Had to be poured into a taxi back to colleagues house where I was staying. Our sober boss dropped us off and watched as we both crawled along the pavement to get to her flat. Needless to say we both woke up with the FEAR the next day and were ridiculed for years to come. Bloody tequila
Also went out for a cig at one Xmas night out and the bouncer wouldn't let me back in, saying I was too drunk. Didn't have my bag, coat or anything and it was snowing! Luckily my boss came to rescue me and was furious at bouncer and not me. Was staying in a hotel near work that night though and slept in, rolled into work about 10am clutching my Lucozade. Had to get DH to pick me up when I got off the train as still didn't feel safe to drive at 7pm.
We've all been there, OP. Guaranteed there will be others cringing today!

indigox · 15/07/2017 19:59

I'd just started a new job, though I already knew some of the directors and some employees from a previous workplace so it didn't end it as bad as it could. I barely drink, and know my limit is 3 glasses of wine, however the person standing next to me kept filling my glass before I finished it so I couldn't accurately gauge how much I'd had, I also hadn't eaten all day... a few hours later I was throwing up (in the mens toilets for some reason), and had to be taken home by a director, as he was the only person who knew where I lived... once I got home I started taking my clothes off to get into bed, he was still there at that point.

BlatheringOn · 15/07/2017 19:59

Oh god, I had forgotten but this thread has brought it all back .......
I was 27 and in my first management position, had been at the company 1 month and was viewed (I think) as serious and professional, if a little shy. Along with many others from the company I was invited to a party at a colleague's smart London flat. I arrived alone in a bad mood because my bf had let me down at the last moment and I was anxious. I stupidly started drinking vodka. It resulted in me telling several people to f* off and later lying down on the colleague's bedroom floor where I went to sleep/passed out for the night. He stayed awake most of the night worried that I might die in my sleep. His girlfriend was furious. Next morning after apologising profusely, I got into my car and promptly vomited over myself. I had an hour's drive home through heavy traffic and it was summer. On the Monday I felt hideously embarrassed but I just fronted it out. I stayed at that company for 2 years and never ever got drunk with my colleagues again. Fortunately for me within a short time someone else did something much worse......

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/07/2017 19:59

I think we should all meet up for a Mumsnet worknight out! It'd be bloody hilarious although could get messy.

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 15/07/2017 20:02

This thread is fucking class. I have actually cried reading it.

Awks · 15/07/2017 20:06

Posh but awkward afternoon Christmas party held in the office with free bar and canapes. I availed myself of more free booze than was sensible and hatched in my head a hilarious scheme to put the beautifully decorated Christmas tree that was next to the lift doors in the lift and let it go for a ride up and down . WTAF was I thinking? It was huge and I was so pissed I thought I was being stealthy as I'd watched the SAS telly programmes etc. Unfortunately I got it so far and the lift door opened and I had it half in and half out when the CEO saw me. Oh how he yelled.

SisterMortificado · 15/07/2017 20:10

EarlyNineties I'm up for it as long as I can bring enough sweets to last me the night.
I vote wanderers like me wear go-pros so we can work out how we get to our final resting point.

thebigbluedustbin · 15/07/2017 20:11

You'll feel better tomorrow when 'the fear' has gone!

I've had 'the fear' after two works parties. Woke up so embarrassed and felt like shit all day, apologized to a few people. Literally all I'd done at both of these parties was get drunk and have conversations. Just knowing that I was drunk made me feel like I'd done something horribly wrong. Turns out everyone just thought I was so much more relaxed and outgoing with alcohol in me.

I am tee total now, but not because of those.

justdontevenfuckingstart · 15/07/2017 20:14

We started at 12 in a pub (private do, good move) by 9 we were back at a private house where my work is. Next morning woke up with no phone, keys or debit card.
Walked into work totally pissed. Found phone and card by the road, then my boss phoned to say he had my keys. Result. We battled through the day. Had motorboated a colleague, tried to jump a gate, they found me in a ditch.
The word Legend was bandied about.

JeReviens · 15/07/2017 20:14

I'm crying as I read. ThymeLord weeping is funny as fuck along with all the sharters! I've shart myself in Asda but never through drink

JeReviens · 15/07/2017 20:15

Oh and the plaster of Paris tit! Classic. Still laughing at that!

Ramalamalamafafafa · 15/07/2017 20:19

On a thread where someone has posted that they are embarrassed and regret it to the point of fearing going into work, posting sanctinonious crticism makes people look like twats.

sammylady37 · 15/07/2017 20:20

As a junior doctor I asked one of the senior consultants what he thought about whilst masturbating, and proceeded to tell him what I thought about whilst doing it, and then told him about my newly-acquired habit of sexy chatrooms and cyber-sex, including telling him my dirty username. Clearly it intrigued him cos we ended up shagging that night and for a few months after!

Another work night out, when I was the senior person there, I declared my enormous crush on a colleague, tried to kiss him on the dance floor and cried when he turned me down.

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 15/07/2017 20:20

When I was training to be a barrister my fellow pupil got smashed at a chambers do and made amorous advances to matronly lady barristers. When I saw him the next day at court he was still drunk. God help his client

JimmysMum1988 · 15/07/2017 20:21

Not me but we all went for a works meal and a guy from my office was so drunk that he went outside and did a wee against the restaurant window where we were all sitting! We seen everything!!! Then later on that evening we went to a bar and the same guy and his manager ended up having a fight in the men's toilets. They both came out with ripped shirts and covered in wee from the floor

dunderheid · 15/07/2017 20:22

@travellinglighter - you can't leave it at that! More details needed please!
