People Describe Their Most Embarrassing Office Christmas Parties in 6 Words or Less

Ah office Christmas parties. Those special parties we all love, and then at some time around 10AM the next morning, completely hate. It’s no wonder, really, that if you take a large group of people who know each other—but don't really know each other—and feed them heaps of cheap Prosecco they get a bit irresponsible. All those pent up frustrations, insecurities, and sexual fantasies accumulated through the year, let out of the bag for one night and one night only.

Let’s be honest, you don’t truly know your colleagues until you come out the other end of a staff Christmas party. And so, in the spirit of celebration, but also solidarity, we got a bunch of people to contribute their most embarrassing Christmas party stories in six words or less. And we hope they help you feel a little less ashamed.
