Oh... a Thursday and I am v merry... went to a free work drinks do and though I behaved (I think?!?) I talked to my dept' director and the head of the directorate... think I talked absolute nonsense to them both.. have nothing else to say but a pre-emptive ooww-ow-ow for tomorrow morning and have you ever shamed yourself in front of important work people??

Oh dear, a lethal combination - work - free - drinks!! Don't worry, I've been there!! At least you may be safe in the knowledge that you provided some 'light entertainment' at an otherwise boring work party! (that's what I've always told myself anyway! :o :rolleyes: :D)
I agree with pmcc, lots of water now required!!

and with a bit of luck, they were rather merry too, and cant remember it all clearly and think they had just reached the point where they didnt understand what anyone was talking about!

:o I got so drunk ONCE - it was so bad I've never done it again - that I fell over in front of the MD - my foot went under a lighting unit and I bought the unit crashing down
My skirt went over my head as I landed and I exposed my underwear (and it was very ummm, adult shall we say - not designed for public viewing :o) and just lay there giggling
:o
Just to add to my woe, I had damaged my ankle badly on the unit and found it swollen and badly bruised the next morning when I attempted to get up - and couldn't weight bear Spent 6 weeks on crutches so it was a daily reminder of my shame :o
I have never ever drunk at a work do since :o

I'm afraid to say that yes I've shamed myself on a few occassions. Not just with the drink either.
I've fallen backwards off a bar stool in my very first job, I fainted as I hadn't eaten all day as I was sooooo nervous and flashed my pants to the MD. When I came to I was totally mortified and nearly phoned in sick the next day. It didn't help that in the afternoon I tripped on some torn carpet and threw a cup of coffee over a very very important client.
Whilst drunk:
I've fallen asleep in a toilet cubicle only to be discovered 2 hours later by my manager (far too much red wine), they had to break the door down and I was quite glad that I hadn't gone in there for any particular reason and therefore was wearing my pants.... could have been really really embarassing!! :eek:
At one works do we had a mini fairground provided which had bumper cars and we all thought it was hillarious to constantly bump into our managers car, he came in to work with a neck collar on the next day as he had whiplash (oops).
I now don't drink!

say nothing, if anyone says anything look blank and then say "oh do you mean when I'd had a drink when I was on some medication and had a reaction to it?" and walk away before they can say anything else...

just to add to my mortification stories :o
Jubilee gym in Covent Garden
I worked for a very famous TV studio
We had subsidised memebership
Lots of the Gladiators worked out there at the time (going back some years now)
Finished workout
Shower
Get dressed
Go and wander around Covent Garden
Buy new handbag
Go to Tesco Metro and get a sarnie
Wander back towards office, which is about 30 sec's from Trafalger Square so you get the idea this is one busy part of London
Friend grabs me as I am bout to walk into reception
I've got my skirt tucked in my knickers
BUT - this the WORST part
I had on 60 denier black thick tights but they slipped down
So I had a pair of (clean thankfully) white M&S plain boring pants over the TOP OF MY TIGHTS
I am now OCD about checking my skirt when I walk out of loo's now :o
My final one is nothing really but we had a big wig meeting at TV studios - I was asked to serve coffee to the movers and shakers in the industry (I think I was one of about 5 people that worked for the Company that did NOT want to be on TV so I was a sure fire bet to not faint or say something stupid in these situations)
The fashion at the time was jodphurs - not this time around, about 15 years ago
I had my brand new fashion joddies on, cream with faux dealer boots
As I walked into the room, my foot caught a cable and to save soaking our VIP's - the lot went down my brand new cream outfit
not as bad as my others but that is the worst of my public humiliation stories
I think :o However, the magnitude of my falling over drunk and my knicks in my tights makes up for quantity :o

A friend came around for a drink and chat one evening - said could she bring her friend who I hadnt met. Yes say I - no problem - more the merrier:)
A couple of bottles of plonk later we are all getting on famously - really liked her pal. General chit chat started about various people we both knew.
She mentioned the name of some young guy who lived in a village I used to live in. I then proceeded to say (probably rather slurred by now - never could take my drink:rolleyes:) What a jumped up, spoilt rich kid, ill mannered nerdy little mummy's boy he was. By now too p****d to notice my other friend frantically frowning at me and mouthing fish like words at me that I could not understand at all!!
Transpired that the said jumped up, spoilt rich kid, ill mannered nerdy little mummy's boy was the guy she was marrying 2 weeks later!!!:o
They didnt stay long after that:o:D
Never did get an invite to the wedding - some people huh?:D

I dont drink as I dont really like it and cannot hold my drink. I've had a few embarrassing moments to do with drink, not sure if I can post them on here as nobody will view me in the same light again LOL. One incident was when I went to Malta with a boyfriend and I slipped on the marble flooring and really hurt my knee, it was soooo painful and we had booked to go out on an evening excursion. To numb the pain I drunk so much wine, I blacked out for most of the evening, on the way back in the coach I got hold of the public announcement system and proceeded to tell dirty jokes. Everyone was laughing (thankfully). When I got back to the apartment and said to my boyfriend and some people we made friends with that I wanted to use the loo they told me I had already been......in my knickers!!!!
