This woman loudly and proudly tweeted about the first-ever holiday party she attended as a newly hired worker. She was clearly excited to meet her new colleagues and the executives at her company. Little did she know that the first impression she was about to leave was going to be a lasting one.

Her enthusiasm caused her to walk face-first into a glass wall. We can only imagine the impression it left on her face (not to mention the impression her injured face left on the psyches of her coworkers)!
When this young woman was hired as a high-end taster for a San Francisco chocolatier, she expected work to be fun and her first company party to be grand. After all, a whole restaurant had been booked for the event. The woman ordered a Midori Sour, which arrived in a fishbowl-like container. She drank the whole thing!

Her coworkers ordered her another, and she politely downed it as well. Just when she thought her alcohol consumption was going to level out, her boss presented everyone with liquor truffles for tasting. Obviously, she couldn’t say no, so she went home wasted but a self-declared connoisseur, wondering if all that alcohol was worth it.
It seemed this holiday office party was off to a good start when the company decided to hold the event at an upscale restaurant. But when the workers were led to their tables, they found themselves seated within an outdoor tent. To make matters worse, the temperature was a mere 20 degrees, and the heaters weren’t working.

The outdoor tent collapsed, and as if that wasn’t enough, a dead rat was found under one of the tables. Everyone was getting angry until the restaurant took them inside and gave them unlimited drinks. There was a silver lining after all the misery, but the employees are still hoping for a better party this year!
We’re not sure whether these two are still together, but we hope not! Apparently, the boss and his wife got drunk at a work party, and the man said something that caused the woman to get angry. By angry, we mean the grab-a-wine-glass-and-shatter-it-to-pieces kind of angry. She followed this up by chasing her husband with the broken stem.

These two were drunk enough to stagger out of the party, leaving everyone else to clean up their mess. Fortunately, they never attended another office party together again.
This sandwich shop employee, along with five of his coworkers, all felt honored to have been invited to a formal party at their boss’s abode. All of them were dressed to impress but got the shock of their lives when they arrived at their boss’s house.

They were wearing party attire when they realized that they had actually been invited to work at the event. All along, the boss had been expecting them to serve his family and friends. They showed up to be served but quickly had to pivot to a serving role. We bet at least one person quit after that!
This employee will never forget a female coworker who did a legendary thing during an office party. The coworker got drunk after downing an entire bottle of whisky. In her inebriated state, she heard a loud voice behind her, chattering uncontrollably.

Drunk with power and alcohol, she yelled, “shut up!” When she turned around, she realized she had just shouted at the 12-year-old daughter of her boss. Despite the high alcohol content in her blood – enough to make her cheeks turn red – her face immediately went white. Fortunately, she was not fired.
Christmas is that time of year when employers often give out bonuses as a show of appreciation. After all, it is employees that help make a business flourish. This person was approached by his boss with what seemed like a generous offer, but something about it seemed fishy.

The (drunk) boss sat him down at the bar and advised that he was going to receive a raise. The catch was, it was “for less money.” The employee wished he was also drunk enough to not feel weirded out by what he had just heard.
This CEO was serious about keeping things under control at the office Christmas party. He issued a dire warning via an office memo, stating that if anyone was arrested during the party, he would not be bailing them out. Believe it or not, there was a valid reason for this memo.

A year prior, a handful of employees were arrested during their Christmas party, and the CEO had to bail all of them out of jail. The next year, the CEO made sure everyone knew they were on their own with whatever stunts they planned to pull off.
Employers now have a way to deal with unruly employees during office parties. They require workers to sign a waiver before attending. It is a smart thing to do, given the amount of alcohol-induced rowdiness that erupts during parties.

Only workers were asked to sign waivers at this party. The intention of the form was to waive any responsibility the company may have had because the drinks that night were unlimited. As weird as this sounds, waivers are becoming more and more common in the corporate world.
This Christmas party came crashing down fast for one employee. It happened when this worker started drinking too much. The alcohol fogged his good sense, and he ended up hitting on his boss.

When the boss decided to leave the situation and walk away, the employee followed her. Alas, alcohol moved faster than his legs could carry him, so he tripped and split open his chin. The next day, he came to work with a lot of bruises – on his chin and on his fragile ego.
