Embarassed

Hi folks

Ive been dying with embarassment all day today following an incident last night.

Basically I am starting a new job next week and went out with a friend and some of his friends who I didnt know before last night. They work in the company already that Im due to start this week. Anyway, we had a heavy night and ended up crashing at theirs for the night (my mate was staying there already).

During the night (without knowing it obviously) I ended up sleepwalking and urinating in one of the rooms. I had no knowledge and didnt believe it when I was told in the morning (I refused to because it sounded so outrageous). Anyway after finally been convinced I got hit by a wall of sheer embarrassment. I cleaned the area and apologised countless times. One of the housemates was understanding and accepted 'these things happen' but the other was/is fairly annoyed (understandably) .

My biggest worry is starting the new job next week.. Its a large company but stories travel around at a fast rate and I know my incident will go around so feel very awkward to enter the new job with this to my name.

I know I cant make any excuses because its my own fault for getting drunk but I cannot rid the embarassment and worry of who will be looking at me from starting in this company.

Can anyway give any advice how to feel better about this or any advice on what to do? Ive never felt so bad/guilty/embarassed after a night out. Ugh.

Ah fair play to you, you acknowledged and cleaned it - like you can do more.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

I doubt they will mention it. If they do, laugh it off at that point but later pull them aside and say you'd prefer it not to be mentioned.

When I house shared a firend that was staying over after a big gang of us where out peed while sleeping on the sofa. He was in a really bad way about it but, no one died. it was all cleaned up and cushions washed. We all avoided sitting on it for a while but 12 years on we are all still friends. The one ting my friend learned from it was that he would never drink so much again to risk the same happening again.

It happened but in a week it will have all been forgotten about. Just put it behind you and move on.

Good luck with the new job

To be honest, thats a good story for your future workmates when you're in the pub. The guy who was peed off (pun intended) will get over it.

Op - there's nothing to worry about. That same thing has happened to loads of people I know,myself included.

It's a very small misdemeanor. Worst case scenario people at work find out. Loads of people do it.

Thanks for the replies everyone, as embarassing as it is Im starting to feel a little better. I just hope they understand I feel bad about it and dont tell the whole world. Definitely learnt a lesson for the future drinking habits anyway.

Thanks again

If it comes up - just say the other housemate (one who is still annoyed) asked for a golden shower, then chickened out at the last second.

Seriously though, I'd be surprised if it gets mentioned in work. Anyway, are you certain you believe whoever convinced you that it was you?
