I got drunk and took off my top at an office BBQ. How can I live this down?

Answer 1

only u can answer this..so can you ¿¿¿

Answer 2

Been there done that. It may seem really awful and embarrassing to you at this point,but you can get through it. I don't know what type of office you work in or the age group of most people. What I do know is that if these people are are over the age of 21, then they have had some experience in acting a fool when drunk. Anyway, go into work with your head held high and act like nothing ever happened. Some people will talk, but they probably don't have much of a life anyway.

Answer 3

You can't, did you have anything on under your top? Were there any pictures taken?

In doing such a thing.... allowing it, you lost most or all respect in the workplace and probably a great deal as well within certain parameters of friendships you might have there too.

It might be over looked to some degree in time but it won't be forgotten!!! And later.... maybe 10 years from now? If you're up for some promotion or raise etc. it will be brought up again.

Answer 4

You won't be able to live that one down for as long as you stay working where you are. People will always remember that and usually bring it up at a very inappropriate time. Perhaps you should have some friends to help you out next time you get drunk to avoid the same situation.

Answer 5

the best way to live things down is to laugh at the situation along with anyone how makes fun of you for it.
after a while they will see that it doesn't embarace you as much as it used to and like an old joke it will have been heard too many times to be retold.
if you do become uncontrolably embaraced remind everyone that you were drunk and you don't normally act like that.
you could also bring up an equally embaracing story of someone else in the room. this will take some pressure off you.

Answer 6

Don't get drunk at the next office BBQ. If this has really caused you some anxiety - type or email a sincere apology for your actions - take ownership of them - apologize and move on!

Answer 7

Well the best thing that came out of this is that you hopefully learned a lesson. NEVER, NEVER get drunk at an office party. Either you wait until things die down, but you must know you will always be remembered for this incident or you must get another job.

Answer 8

Well, my dear, we've all done one or two things to feel embarrassed for all at the hands of that evil mind altering truth serum in a bottle. Never you mind the talk in the office, it will all eventually go away, as time passes so do the memories of man. Anyhow, whomever speaks ill of you needs to remember that they too have things that they keep hidden in their closet, we are all human. It sounds like you were the life of the party and had a great time, yeah kudos to you.

Answer 9

Put your top back on - & don't get drunk in public again.

If you try to hide it, or show embarassment - it will become the subject of whispers and behind your back talk for a long time.

be open to joking about it (so that it doesn't go underground or behind closed doors) but also set parameters on the talk so that it doesn't become "gossip" - then it will eventually die.

If you do it again - you may never "live it down"

Answer 10

Time to quit and move on, you will never live that down.

People, NEVER EVER get drunk at an office party, NEVER, it's not worth the hell you are gonna get in when you make a fool out of yourself. (no offence)

Good Luck!

Answer 11

Getting drunk would be hard to live down. Taking off you top impossible.
