Christmas party season is in full swing! Maybe your boss is footing the bill for a luxurious night out, maybe you’re heading into town for dinner.
Either way, we know you’re a savvy professional who knows how to conduct yourself, but not everyone is as responsible as you.
Here are 21 ways in which your office Christmas party can go terribly wrong:
1. Someone turns up in the same outfit as you (obviously, less of an issue for guys)
2. You plan to turn up fashionably late but end up being one of the first ones there
3. You end up sitting next to a co-worker that you’ve never spoken to before – and they’re dull as dishwater
4. Someone unexpected gets way too comfortable on the dance floor
5. You end up telling everyone who your secret office crush is
6. You go to your room to freshen up and end up passing out on the bed
7. You end up holding a colleague’s hair when they take a turn for the worse
8. You confidently take to the microphone for karaoke and clear the dance floor
9. A colleague arrives significantly under-dressed
10. Another arrives in fancy dress – and stays in character all night
11. You end up losing your phone, your room key, your handbag, your shoes… in fact, everything
12. You have an awkward encounter with your boss in the bathroom
13. A creepy colleague will crack onto you
14. Someone ends up snogging a co-worker – and starts looking for a new job the next day
15. The quiet one gets drunk and makes a scene
16. You end up walking around with your dress tucked into your knickers
17. You flirt with your boss and think this is a good time to ask for a pay rise
18. You wake up the next morning with suggestive photos of you and your colleagues on your phone
19. You wonder what you did with your Bridget Jones granny pants (are they still under the chair from dinner?)
20. You check back your phone messages – and regret them all
21. You vow that the same thing won’t happen next year
Enjoy!
