10 Inevitable Moments at Every Office Christmas Party

10 Inevitable Moments at Every Office Christmas Party The office Christmas party finally an opportunity to let your hair down and put all the usual stresses of the workplace on hold for an evening. The  annual event that just wouldnt be the same without inappropriate antics and colleagues embarrassing themselves! Though its meant to be a time for you to  have some fun with your colleagues and celebrate your successes from the last year, remember that you do have to work with these people still after the night is over, so stripping off after a few too many drinks or telling someone EXACTLY what you think about them probably isnt the wisest idea! Though we all know this deep down, judgement often goes out the window when alcohol  is flowing and spirits are high, so there are a few inevitable moments that will always occur at  the office Christmas party! Here are a few of them that may ring some bells 1)  The first half hour will be highly uncomfortable Nobody wants to be the first one to arrive at a party. You think youve timed it perfectly so that you turn up fashionably late, but somehow you are STILL  early and begin to regret not having a drink before you left the house. 2) Youll be forced to make awkward small talk  with a colleague you dont know Considering there are only 3 of you in the room, you are faced with little choice over who to talk to, so I guess that guy from IT who you spoke to once 2 years ago will have to do. Whats his name again? 3) Someone will  turn up in a novelty Christmas jumper Unless youre Mark Darcy, this isnt often the best look. 4) Everyone will flock to the free bar Itll only be a matter of time before someone  suggests doing shots. Approach with caution. 5) Someone will abuse it and have to be put in a taxi home Theres always one person who cant handle their drink and becomes incapable of walking by 10pm. 6) The quiet one will throw some serious shapes on the dance floor With alcohol comes lowered inhibitions. The shy and innocent  girl will go from Hannah Montana to Miley Cyrus circa her Wrecking Ball era in the matter on minutes. 7)  Someone will make a move on their office crush After a year of checking them out across the office, they decide that tonights the night. Meanwhile someone else will develop an entirely new office crush as beer goggles take affect and suddenly a  completely unexpected individual becomes more appealing. 8) People will become far too honest Things will get heated and someone will get carried away with their comments about other staff. Dangerous territory! 9)  Beware of the sober one Who cares what you got up to, everyone was too drunk to remember come Monday right? WRONG! There will usually be one person who chooses not to drink and will therefore be aware of and remember  all of the antics from the night. 10) Monday morning shame Come Monday morning everyone in the office will be gossiping about the nights events! By this point the incriminating photos have probably all been uploaded to Facebook,  so dont think youre getting away with anything! [Top Image Credit: Shutterstock]
