    A couple in the office broke up, and did so quite vociferously over email. The emails got leaked (he sent them to a lot of mates outside the company and it snowballed from there). It ended up in the papers the Sunday after, under a headline "breaking up in front of the world". I work for a very large company and we all got an email on Monday saying that if we are approached by anyone asking for comment we were to keep quiet.

    Jesus, that tale left me shaken if i'm being honest.

    I can't even imagine the level of fear you had waking up.

    I remember i woke up in a strangers bed in leeds one morning after a monster piss up. She was fcuking enormous.

    I asked her what we got up to and she said i passed out after a kiss.


    Amen to that.

    To be fair I don't want to give the impression I was man handled or physically coerced. I was just so drunk I was on autopilot and probably went along with it for the 'craic' without any thought.

    I mean we have all had 'WTF' moments after beer but this was defo a WTF moment to top it all off all WTF moments.

    I was more concerned that my heavily pregnant wife had no idea where I was or what I had got up and the bollocking I was going to get...:o

    Gay guy was the least of my worries at that stage.

    Hope you made up for “lost time” there, S!

    I was in a small company, about 10 staff, and our main client didn't pay us what we were owed which ultimately led to us closing down.

    I found out all of this via a drunken email to all from the CEO one night telling us not to come back to work, which he sent after going into the office and smashing all the computer equipment with a baseball bat so it couldn't be taken by creditors. About a year later he tried to hire me into his new startup. I said no.

    Jesus Emmet, i couldn't even contemplate it. The sheets were fcuking manky. She made Grot bags look like someone from Love Island.

    I remember she went to kiss me as i was leaving and i had a reflex pull back action. Horrid

    Nothing at all funny about this one.

    Did most of my training in a firm in the south east. Small office. 2 bosses, 1 middle aged lad that was there for years, 2 part timers in reception and 3/4 trainees then as well. The guy that was there for years was fair sound. Always helping out the trainees with work or any other problems etc. Often went out to lunch as a group (without the bosses) and he'd pay for it (he was from an old well to do family in the locality). Anyway, I moved on after a few years but anytime I was down there I'd pop in and say hello and there'd be the odd text etc usually to do with a gaa match if our counties were playing each other.

    Then a couple of years later I'm looking at the news and this guy is being sentenced to a fairly long jail term for abusing young lads for years. It would have been happening all the time we were working together. There were dozens of victims and the oldest any of them would have been would be the mid teens. I never had such a feeling of disbelief and the thought of how you could think one thing of a person while at the same time they are capable of sinking to such lows still bothers me. He's still in jail as far as I know.

    Excuse me, I'm massive and none of the guys I've been with would be able to lift me, and I have it on a good authority that I was one of the best they've been with - don't knock it until you try it is all I'm saying ;)

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

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

    It was a different time back in 2010. finance guys life would be over now as well.

    I see gawker and business-insider published the email with the girls faces unblurred. not a hope they'd do that now

    Around 1997 I worked for a semi large company and about 6 months previous there was a take over of the company and the previous owner stayed on with his sons as directors and there was a few existing directors/ managers continuing to work after takeover .

    We were working on the conveyor line one day and a few unmarked police came in and escorted all the directors off the premises ... we had a meeting and were told if we saw any of them around building to call police or if there is ant contact... it's an investigation ...

    It turned out they had lied about existing stock worldwide and in warehouses and other stuff we will probably never know .

    1 director got to keep his job as he was only in job 2 months but we never saw any of them again .

    The place suddenly filled with Americans. I left the next year and fled to Ireland where I was told 2 of the directors also fled to....

    Hay..... dont look at me ...I only built the dam things and repaired ....

    Some of my best sessions were with ladies that didn't fit the stereotypical bill.

    First they came for the socialists...

    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.

    Fatties are always a memorable experience. They really get into it. Make hay while sun shines and all that. Pure filth. They appreciate it more than some dolly bird who does not make the effort.

    I meant if you can't lift her from the bed then don't move her :P;)

    Nah, that experience with fat chops left me scarred. Another thing that just came back about that episode was that she had a ronny that freddie mercury would have been proud of.

    What the fcuk was i thinking..............................Jesus man.

    LOL....don't worry man. This is a safe place. We have all been there.

    I spent ages with this one years ago...gently caressing her boobs as she was sitting on me but I was so pissed I didn't realise it was a roll of stomach fat I was manhandling. I was trying to find her nipples.

    My office is OTT open minded, but I guess the closest to scandal (it wasn't scandal, people were just jealous) was the two French girls who were having threesomes with other staff members.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭podgemonster


    Three Colleagues of mine were working late in the office one evening. Close net gang, work hard, play hard sort. The most senior of them declares he's going for a dump and the other two decide for a bit of fun to follow him into the Gents a few moments after. They fill two small watercooler cups of water and fire them over into the one occupied cubicle in the toilets.


    They hear "what the fúck" as they scurry out the door and erupt into laughter in the hallway. But then their colleague emerges from the disable toilets at the other side of the hall and looks at them. They stop laughing immediately, they've no idea who they just soaked and are frozen in mortifications. They saved what they'd done, grabbed their coats and just went home.

    In a place I worked years ago, the male manager told us that his marriage was over and was separating from his wife.

    The following year, he started going out with one of the girls who he was manager of. Everyone was happy for both of them.

    Fast forward the clock and he got a call one day to get to the hospital asap as his wife was in labour. We were all there thinking wtf is going on, why is she ringing him about it, was it his child or had she a new partner???

    He told his new partner that he didn't know his wife was pregnant until he got the phonecall.

    Turns out they never separated, and they were still living together the whole time. What a piece of sh1t he was! His partner was distraught at being made such a fool of and basically being his mistress I felt so sorry for her.

    A few years later when stuck in traffic I saw the two of them holding hands walking down the street with a child. So presumably she forgave him and he did eventually leave his wife. I have no idea if the child I saw was both of theirs or the one he had with his wife that time.

    I've heard this before, it's a myth..

    I've heard it before and didn't put much faith in it, but here's an example of the complete opposite that IS true....There was a guy in my brother's class who came into school one day shouting that his family had won the lotto. A few days later, it transpired that the auldfella had tried to pull a fast one by claiming the winning ticket was his wife's when it was really part of the work syndicate's tickets (of which he was in charge).

    Went to court and everything.
    Not a workplace scandal but a mate of mine done this to a few of the lads with placing bets.

    Someone was (allegedly) running into the bookies one Cheltenham, and asked if any of the regulars wanted a bet put on. The story goes that a few people handed him dockets and cash and in he went. Some fool wrote "This is a robbery, gimme all the cash.....I'm not messing" on a docket. Silent alarm was triggered, place had to be shut down for the day.

    Never saw anything official about this one though.

    One bloke in my office murdered his Mrs a while back in some love triangle (explicit details are sketchy). By chance I was good friends with one of the firemen who attended the scene and he said it was the most gruesome thing he had ever seen.

    Ehm.... Tell us more
