Vomiting through the letterbox of a prominent hotel whilst at the same time taking a dump in the shrub pot, was a particular Xmas party high point for me.

Hi Marina.

Christmas Office Parties always seem to start off in high good spirits but then the alcohol starts to take hold and inhibitions relax and people perhaps say more than they should.

And the odd couple sneak off - wink wink 😉

I personally love them to see how things can sometimes degenerate into mayhem and mishap.

Not all obviously as some do go well without incident. Rarely.

What an eye-opener that is to be sure @Anonymous I never thought of you as someone who'd enjoy such a spectacle. My flabber has never been so gasted.

I'm teetotal now @Anonymous now due to health reasons, so as I'm stone cold sober I get to see such ongoings.

I now spend my time calming people down who become 'Ten Men' after too much booze.

I too am TT (by choice rather than for medical reasons) - but not being tolerant of other people's anti-social behaviour I usually steered clear of all Office Parties if at all possible. I find it difficult to understand why so many people appear to be unable to relax and enjoy themselves in other people's company without the aid of alcoholic beverages.

I concur in part.

I don't require drink to chat and socialise but also understand some either do to be social or to loosen up their inhibitions/ shyness etc.
