Usually, cats are the culprits in instances when Christmas trees fall down. But this office holiday party had no cats as guests. Instead, there were only beers, a live band, and tons of wine. The luxurious affair took place in a fancy winery, and everyone received three drink tickets.

The manager of the lawn and garden section couldn’t handle even just three drinks, and in her inebriated state, she took down the eight-foot Christmas tree in the venue. The crash was brought about by her drunken stupor – not because she was doing a cat impression.
Taking a date to a holiday office party is a good way to feel more comfortable and less awkward. It is always easier to have someone beside you as you enter the venue. This woman did just that when she brought along her boyfriend to the party. Unfortunately, she regretted her decision.

Her boyfriend turned to a lady beside him and candidly asked if she also worked for the same cheap boss as his girlfriend. The woman he asked was actually married to the guy he was referring to – whoops!
This holiday party was a nightmare before it even started. For one, employees paid $50 per person for the privilege of attending. An additional fee was required for anyone who brought a guest. When employees arrived at the venue, the banquet room was full because it had been double-booked.

There were 300 people in an area meant for 200. A lot of the guests were left standing. The meals were not heated properly (some were still frozen on the inside), and this left many of them with food poisoning. Though a refund was granted by the venue, the company never passed the money back to the employees who’d paid for tickets.
This holiday party took place inside the office. The managers decided to convert the workspace to an event hall with a makeshift bar. It is unclear if it was alcohol that influenced these coworkers to sneak into the office of their VP to take a group selfie.

As the selfies were occurring, guess who walked into the room? The VP, of course. As a result, everyone ran out of the room and rushed down the hall. Meanwhile, the VP was laughing at the sight of everyone in a panic. It is unclear if he took a selfie while his employees scattered in embarrassed horror.
Everyone likes a holiday party, and if it’s a pool party, that’s even better! With this in mind, a group of highly-paid professionals and their guests partied in a luxurious vacation home, and this intern was there to witness what went down.

Everyone splashed around in the infinity pool while wearing their expensive dresses and suits. It was all fun and games during the party, but the next day, the intern reported complaints of cleaning bills, wet car seats, and ruined clothes.
This office party was off the hook. The venue staff had to prevent a company boss from singing and rapping by hiding the mic from him, albeit unsuccessfully. The reservation for the karaoke room had long since expired, but this drunk boss decided to continue using it.

They tried to keep him off the mic by corralling him, but it was no use. The worst part was that he was doing what he thought was freestyle rap. In reality, it was a list of each staff member and their role in the company.
If you were in this person’s position, would you do the same thing he did? This individual was lining up at the buffet table when life handed him a situation he never expected to encounter.

According to his own words, he “broke wind so loudly.” But wait, there’s more. One of his office managers “got wind” of the sound. As a result, the person dropped his plate and ran off. No one said anything to either man about the incident, but everyone noticed the mess.
It was the worst of times; it was the best of times. This woman experienced both when she attended this office Christmas party. The worst of times happened when her boss threw up on her dress and laughed.

The best of times happened the next day when she told her boss what happened. The boss was extremely apologetic. To make up for the unfortunate incident, the boss offered a promotion as well as a new dress. That’s a big win if you ask us!
There are people who prefer to shun parties and spend the holidays alone. Being by themselves is better than having to socialize with the same coworkers they see every day. There is also the risk of bad behavior due to alcohol.

Some are happy to party – they just don’t want to spend $35 for a ticket and $25 for a Secret Santa gift. Adding all the costs up means they need to fork out at least $60 to have a party with coworkers. After reading this list, do you think office Christmas parties are worth the cost?
