    'I got totally **** faced one night and woke up one morning next to this absolute stunner....'

    Nobody said ever.

    Actually was with a nurse one night after coppers, total stunner. Nasty animal she was to.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I've actually done that once! Though she said she lived in Edinburgh and was only back in Ireland for the weekend so maybe I was the horror show being woken up next to! :o

    Ehm.... Tell us more


    I intentionally left out specific details in the interest of not identifying the business (if anyone figures it out, please be courteous and don't post the company or persons name) but in a nutshell she was leaving for someone else and he made sure that didn't happen.

    As the poster below you says, self defence wont go very far in trial for this one!

    I'm going to ignore the mod warning and name'n'shame:

    I'm a civil servant and my bosses bankrupted the country.

    Office affairs seem to be par for the course now reading here and my own observations of the last office job I worked in, cant think of anything worse than getting laid where you get paid, billions of other women out in general population!

    ...and if you can say the above, it means that you were the ugly one and the other person is traumatized until this day

    This happened to me nearly ten years ago (not in Ireland). Oh God I have never written this down...not really a scandal but highly embarrassing and more suited to 'Horror work Christmas Parties'..:o

    Basically Xmas party at my new work place (had only started in November). We knocked off at 2pm and straight to a bar/restaurant where we had sit down buffet and free drinks until 7pm. All staff were there and all the directors gone by 7. Notwithstanding the free drinks, we were on our best behaviour until the directors left. So then come 7pm the shackles came off completely.

    (Background- there was really only 2 other staff I knew as we started together so there was a few others I just had not got to speak to. Turns out one of the guys was openly gay living with his partner etc- no issue there just nobody had told me that's all)

    But anyway about 7-8 of us went off to hit the town. TBH...my memory from 7 onwards is very very sketchy plus it was a new city so not too familiar with the location.

    To cut a long story short, we all ended up in a notorious gay bar/nightclub until 5am. I was so paralytic some gay guy...(oh God...this is hard) basically jumped on me and took me back to his place in a taxi..there was no 'action'. I have vague snippets of the taxi but that is it until the next morning.

    I woke up the next morning bollock naked in bed next this complete random guy...TBH I believe I just passed out. Obviously could not get out of the place quick enough the next moring. Went for a shower, puked a few times and the guy was trying to get my number...:(

    For the record I am not gay/bi/binary or whatever the term is these days.

    I spent the next day in the absolute horrors..I was in some random strange housing estate 15 miles from home and asking for directions to the train station clutching a bottle of Lucozade...dry retching all the way home...in the dog house with my 8 mt pregnant wife who thankfully was out at work...:o I told her I ended up back at this house passed out on the couch after a party.

    But Jaysus....it was embarrassing at work for next few weeks. Nobody said a word which was bloody worse. The gay guy with a knowing grin on his face sitting opposite me....I left that place the following June anyway (not related to that).

    :eek: holy **** ! sounds like sexual assault !

    Well think of the benefits. You are getting paid while getting laid- what is not to like plus getting paid while sitting on the toilet.

    Sure, I have stared covetously at my 27 year old secretary's pert little ass on mini skirt day. I especially love when she has to reach up on her toes for a file....beautiful side angle going on.

    I would never ever go there. TBH I am out of her league plus she got married a few months ago and has left herself go and piled on a few pounds.

    Yea at the time when the little head is in the driving seat its fantastic but when the fling more than likely fizzles out ye are still stuck in each others company for the forseeable future. I dread going into work enough half the time without that akwardness on top of it.

    How do you buy drugs in the States on a credit card?

    As another poster said, some drugs, like cannabis, have been legal for a few years now. I buy all of my cannabis products using a credit card. And these aren't back alley deals - they took place in private rooms at high class establishments so certain costs are folded in without necessarily making it onto the final receipt. :)

    Oh come on....I have done a lot of fcuking up **** or either drink or drugs. It's just another notch in the post of craziness.

    I mean seriously. Who has not drank too much, ended up in a gay bar and woken up naked the next morning in bed next to a member of the same sex? Be honest.

    It could happen to a saint.

    I used to be a contract software developer and trainer. On one of my long term contracts, I was training a class of post grads, mostly from Pakistan.
    I recall comjng back from holidays abroad to a message to call a detective.
    TIhinking i was somebow in trouble, phoned him back. He asked if I knew X.
    I said that I did and in the course of the conversation it turned out that the c*nt had raped over a dozen women in Dublin and Sligo/Mayo.
    He was charged on three counts and got 21 years. It's reckoned that his parents sent him to Ireland to go on a course to get him out of Pakistan.
    May he spend his life in pain!

    Seeing married people,male and female, cheating in work only reinforced my resolve never to get married.

    Why do finance guys get away with this sh*t ?

    If that were an IT guy his life would be over by now.

    Not sure that's true. That sort of thing is rife in Video Games development.

    Shortly after the Second World War the Chairman/Chief Exec was dragged in front of the Lynskey tribunal investigating war time profiteering

    The only other material one I can think of was when someone "forgot" to pay their share of the office coffee bill.

    Since the Tequila has loosened my tongue, I will tell you mine. My boss and his wife are involved in a secret swingers club. Every Friday and Saturday night we are banned access to the main yard. So we aren't expose to those who join their sordid Partido.

    Last place I worked, there was this absolutely hideous bully of a guy who called the shots in the whole place. He was only a factory worker and clocked in and out like everyone else but he degraded people, spread gossip and refused to do his job. Whats shocking is this piece of sh!t was protected by so many people, either because they were scared of him or maybe they were drinking buddies. I know he used to drink with some of the lads who then became his boss but the extent to which they covered up his lack of work, excused his bullying and went to great lengths to bury any complaints about him was just unreal.

    Would being a former friend of a bad apple protect you that much? I wonder have anyone else ever experienced that. I left in the end was just a toxic place and I couldn't have any respect for anyone who protected such a vile bully.

    "Spread gossip and refused to do his job" certainly rings a bell regarding an ex-colleague of mine, accusations often levelled at women but men are just as capable and in this scenario he was the worst in the office, prob biggest gossip there. It was a civil service department so he got away with murder as did many,bar murder you are basically unsackable, he always threatened union action with even a hint of sanction, was also having an affair with a colleague and married with kids. Deeply unhappy and non stop bitching abour his wife and kids, dragged all this negative energy into work.

    Summer BBQ a lad from one Dept and a girl from HR were caught in a stall together in the loo. Nothing too mad there, except she was engaged to a fella who she met working for the company, who left for another company about 4 months before. They guy hadn’t known this but her fella had mates in the company still who wanted to go in and beat the **** out of him.

    Anyway it all calms down and the two of them go home separately, after the fella insists he never spoke to her until that night and they should really be angrier at her.

    On the Monday he gets called into HR to say basically he’s lucky not to be fired and will forego his bonus and any promotion that was due. Same goes for her. Fair enough he thought, he’ll take it on the chin. Come November and promotions announced, she’s promoted as are 2 of the lads trying to knock down the door get one too.


    We all though that was incredibly harsh, had a chat with yer man and he said don’t worry about it. Turns out he escalated to Global HR in the States, ended up pretty much with an open choice of where he wanted to move, picked the best remunerated team, had his promotion granted and said he walked away with a wad of cash.

    I'd like to think some of these stories are true. A few are absolutely hilarious. Except for the one when the guy got raped. That sounds horrendous.

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    Girl I worked with in a Bank slept her way to the top. She started working in the bank the same day as me, she threw herself at management staff at a work party and then started dating one of the management staff. 5 months passed and she was a supervisor, then she moved to a team leader 6 months after that. At this stage I was still a customer service jockey at the bottom of the pile. Obvious as a heart attack what went on here. Blond girl, nice body.. It was a case of WHO SHE KNEW and not what she knew...
    Believe me, this sort of thing still goes on in big companies. It's not the first time I seen a young pretty girl jumping up the ranks.

    I have worked in some big companies and I have seen many fine bodied young ones hopping up the ranks randomly, many questions are raised. There is definitely advantages to being a physically appealing young woman in a large company. A lot of these fckers at the top will gladly put these young ones under their wings. They literally chat them up in and around the work place, these girls are either naive, stupid or know exactly what is going on and taking advantage of the situation for their own gain.. It happens a lot. One girl in a certain IT company I am doing contract work for, she is only 22 and she is managing a floor of staff... Nice body, an ass that would make you get on your knees, very friendly with one of the directors. Ye, you can see what is going on here.. She is a hand picked fine fruit this one. :rolleyes:

    An small office down the road from us a few years ago.

    It turned out the boss was underdeclaring tax etc. The net was closing in on him and the regulatory authorities had an appointment with him one morning.

    The lady sat down in front of him and pulls out a handgun and blew his brains out in front of her. Last I heard, she never returned to work after that.

    About three years was dealing with a matter which involved a messy divorce. H & W did not speak and I was the go between until the matter was concluded. But anyway the H was non contactable for a few days, not answering calls, emails etc. I even wrote to the house.

    Then I get a call one morning from the estate agent who had forced his way into the house to find the H hanging in the living room. He had been dead for a few days.

    The H before he killed himself, had boxed away all his personal papers in a 2-3 boxes and left them at his feet. The W (who was bit of a bitch to be fair) went back in a collected the boxes and dumped them in my office- there was dark stains all over the papers. Basically it is safe to conclude that as the boxes were at his feet and he was dangling there, bodily fluids were dripping onto the papers.

    It was sad as I went through the papers and you could see the mental decline over a few years and increasingly erratic behaviour. They had 3 kids.

    I made her come back and take the boxes.

    Jesus ****ing Christ!

    There is a local secretarial college that asks us to take in 18-19 year olds for unpaid work experience during the summer and we usually get 3-4 cvs chucked at us.

    I am ashamed (or at least I should be) to say that myself and my partner blatantly take the person on purely on looks. We have taken on some full time over the years.

    We have a very good looking workforce.

    TBH...the cvs are all the same so you have to something to separate them out.

    I work in social services with children in care (place of work is relevant) and one if my colleagues was caught by one of those vigilante sting groups texting under age boys to meet up for sex! It was uploaded to their website. Caused quite a scandal and he was struck off.

    Scumbag.
