    So... have you slept with a colleague.... Awkwardness seeing them every day? I guess some people work with their partners so that wouldnt be awkward. Go on, post your story.

    Yeah when I was in the head office of a bank I used to work for we had a leaving party for someone which ended up back in a hotel. Slept there and went to work the next day in ribbons. I cant even remember what went on to this day, I dont know how I performed if I even did :D . Woke up beside her anyway :confused:

    EDIT - O yeah it was unbelievably awkward after that. She had a boyfriend too.... I didn't know TBH. The worst thing was I couldn't remember what happened!

    Yup, it was when I worked in a pub.

    Fantastic craic for about 6 months because working behind a bar is like being in a goldfish bowl and all the sneaky moments that you try to get away with it just add to the fun. :D:D

    I'm rather disappointed with you lot, a perfect thread and not one of you stuck in either of the 2 AH catchphrases:
    Your Ma!
    Pics or it didn't happen!

    Reality is it's going to happen simply due to the increasing amounts of time we spend working and traveling to & from work, as such there is less time for socialising outside the work gang and as such the "any port in a storm" mindset can take hold.

    yes.

    Mistake yeah turned out that way when things went into the shi*ter after a couple of months.
    Although the fun involved before that sneaking around when you were both working at the same time.

    Yep slept with a few :rolleyes: though I was once almost caught on the receiving end of a sherman in back office, I would have been so fired if the person had walked in about 60 seconds earlier

    I was 16 at the time working in a supermarket ah those were the days :D:D

    But since I've started a career I've been very well behaved, I wouldn't want to risk doing anything to damage my career by being unprofessional in work. I did meet my current Gf in the workplace but for about a year no one even knew we were seeing each other.

    In saying that in my current place if i was single I'd be like a rat up a drain pipe the girls are that hot :D

    Substitute the word supermarket for well known takeaway franchise and yeah, them were the days.

    If you ignore the fact management were ****, I had to do alot of work involving big stinking bags of smelly bin waste, some customers were tossers, skangers used to come in causing trouble, and I was paid something like 6.75 per hour.......yeah, ignoring all that minimum wage jobs are more craic :(

    ffs, in the office I work in now nobody even goes off to get stoned every break :( (and people wonder why the lad at the till cant get the order right. Either he is monged or the guys cooking are. Or more likely both). And in my dept they are all either rough or we have too much of an age gap to strike.

    One night stand with one of girls while we were both absolutely trashed. No real awkwardness after a week or so.

    I think the only reason it ended so well was because we both knew it was just a drunken mistake, she's a nice person and I'm not the absolute cvnt I come across as on these boards IRL.

    When I started my first proper high flying career job I didn't realise how naieve I was til the christmas party. Just about everyone in the company had been there more than 5 years and they all went off with each other for that one night. All planned, rooms booked, each went with the same person each year and there was never any awkwardness....
    Took me about an hour, after the meal, to cop on to what was happening. I was shocked cos they were all married or had long term partners outside the company.
    It was sooooo wierd... I didn't stay long at the do...shot off home, alone, asap!
