Your Xmas office party disaster stories

    From Sky News:

    Christmas is coming - and that means the office Christmas party season is about to get under way.

    And after a few too many drinks, it seems close to half of us are quite happy to tell the boss exactly what we think of them.

    A new survey has highlighted just how embarrassing the booze-filled events can be.

    It asked Human Resources managers to dish the dirt on what happens at their company's Christmas party.

    Around 40% said a drunken employee had decided to tell their boss exactly what they thought of them.

    One third said they had caught people engaging in sexual activity.

    And 37% had the pleasure of seeing colleagues throwing up after excess Christmas spirit.

    The survey was commissioned by responsible drinking campaigners The Portman Group.

    The group is urging party-goers not to drink to excess during the Christmas party season.


    I think Ive seen most of the above at some stage over the years. Any stories from the Boardsers from their parties?
