I'm putting together a presentation on protocol and fashion for the upcoming holiday season and need some fun stories. Ideally, I'm looking for things that could affect a job, but other things are fine. What are things that people did when they had a few too many? What did they do that made them call in sick the next day? What made someone quit because it was so bad? Thanks for sharing. The more details the better. Best story will get the best answer!

On year I saw a co-worker have a few too many and begin to rather loudly tell the rest of the group what an @$$ the owner of the company was, and how the company would keep you from advancing if they could.
The party was held on a dinner cruise, so there was really nowhere to get away from this guy unless you wanted to jump into the water. The last hour or so of the party was more than awkward. The person in question was so drunk he did not even remember. He quit a few months later.

I am a teacher, so there is a certain expectation that we will have unassailable morals. Anyway, I have a co-worker who sells sex-toys on the side. She had tried to keep this quiet, obviously. Anyway, she had a few when we all went out, and she started whipping out pamphlets for us all to look at, even had some kind of gel she kept trying to force her female colleagues to go into the bathroom to try. There was no real consequence, besides the fact I'm sure she felt embarrassed later and regretted being so "open" about her little sideline.

Last year at the company Christmas party, after one too many, one of my husband's co-workers bet me $50 that if he danced with me one time, I would go home with him! I took the bet, but I haven't got my $50 yet. Later the same night, the same guy told my husband, "I'll pay you a million dollars to sleep with you....uh, I mean your wife!"
It was pretty funny.

I never noticed, because I was usually too busy doing something stupid!

Most people just xerox their butt cheeks.
