32 Totally Wild Things That Happened at a Workplace Holiday Party

‘We all watched him get arrested for a DUI’
32 Totally Wild Things That Happened at a Workplace Holiday Party

Don’t be fooled — the company holiday party isn’t a gift. Yes, there’s usually an open bar, but your coworkers definitely don’t need to see the person you become after drinking four White Claws on an empty stomach. 

Obviously, not everyone considers that, which is why we hear stories like “the assistant manager had a few and did a strip tease to the Shrek soundtrack.” Or: “The owner punched a sales guy in the face, and they rolled around fighting on the floor for a good minute.” In fact, this is what company holiday parties are built on; if stuff like that never happened, they’d cease to exist.

A bunch of loose-lipped Redditors have recalled the most salacious things that went down at their workplace holiday events, including a guy who killed the vibes, a potluck layoff and a CEO who ended with three different letters attached to his name: DUI.

AdamTheEvilDoer 2d ago A friend of mine went on a Christmas party and was sat chilling with his legs stretched out, his feet resting on another chair. About that time a somewhat heavy set drunken girl decided she'd try to clumsily sit on his lap. She missed and put her full weight on his legs, instantly turning him into screaming wreck as his knees broke backwards. Like a birds legs. Не still cannot walk properly after ten years. I cannot even describe this without wincing. + 4 Reply ...
 2y ago I joined a new office a couple of months ago and haven't been out with them before our Christmas party. Got so drunk I barely remember a thing and apparently it was just me and my boss left standing. I was too drunk to tell him where I live and he had no other way of working it out so he lugged me into a taxi and I woke up (fully clothed, shoes, coat and all) in his hotel room bed. I'm fairly mortified but grateful he seems to have found the humour in it. We go
PNW35 2d ago When I used to work at Guitar Center, we had a bowling party for Christmas. Our manager was a little drunk and tried to show off by bowling between his legs. Well the bowling ball hit the inside of his knee and he tore his ACL and MCL. Не pulled a Michael Scott for like 3 months after that. 2 Reply ...
K10RumbleRumble 2d ago Top 1% Commenter At a Brazilian steakhouse, one of the higher ups told the shop manager sitting next to him that if he took another piece of meat off his plate, he was going to stab him with a fork. Не reached for another piece of meat, and got stabbed with a fork so hard it stuck in his arm. Everyone had a good laugh. That same guy also threw a steak knife across the room attempting to hit the son of the founder of the company. Не missed and almost hit a waiter. Lots of wine

MountainDewFountain 3d ago This was for my wife's work xmas party: They rented an event space at a hotel and gave us all rooms. Sometime around 3am I locked myself out of our room completely naked in the hallway, and had to start knocking on other doors because my wife wouldn't wake up. Her boss was the one who opened her door and saw me in all my glory and let me borrow her pjs. Pretty sure I also peed in a flower pot in the hallway too. + 58 Reply ...

woodenman22 11d ago In the first hour of the party, the CEO grabbed a microphone and lectured us all to not get wasted and embarrass the company tonight. Four hours later, we watched him argue with his pregnant wife about which of them was going to drive since she was stone-cold sober and he was shit-faced.

Gets up and runs towards the elevators. It was quite
NeonRunaway 11d ago One of the company executives ending up kissing a member of his sales team. While he was kissing her, another woman who was also in his team, grabbed the girl off of him (because she clearly liked him even though she had a boyfriend) and they had a fight in the middle of the dance floor.

Tapeworm1979 . 11d ago Had a big party in a posh hotel but it then came out that work had a 250 cleanup bill because someone took a shit in the foyer.
