Share Your Christmas Party Stories!

It's the season to be jolly, and some of us take that a little too far sometimes...

So I thought it'd be good to confess, retell and share the stories of vomiting Analysts, passed out MDs and sexy PAs from this festive season's work Christmas parties, or the ones of years gone by.

Two out of three of our work parties have fortunately passed for me so far, with my current wrap sheet looking something like this:

  • rugby tackling a VP in the middle of the restaurant we'd hired out. I think this happened sometime between pudding and the cheese course
  • inverting the cheese board onto the lap of the Ops girl who was sitting next to me
  • thinking that the French have it all wrong and deciding that wine and port should in fact be mixed as wine glass sized shots

I've got one more party left in a country whose language I don't speak, this could be interesting......so far no serious repercussions though, party on!!

last year (as an intern, non-finance company) i had a boss' boss tell me she wanted to set me up with her daughter. then she tried to dance with me all night, fucking awkward as hell. so painful i am getting uncomfortable thinking about it. until i left in the spring no one i worked with let a day pass without reminding me.

Hopefully somebody has some better stories as mine is pretty boring.

My first job, working part time while I was finishing my thesis. A small financial consulting firm specialized in the electrical sector, two partners, both of whom had gotten rich with privatizations of electrical companies in Latin America. We'll call them G and P. P had also sold a television talk show he developed and knows a lot of Chilean celebs.

P closes a restaurant he owns near the office to hold the party. Everything is great, R has invited some people who work at the production company, and a smoking hot hostess who is managing another restaurant he owns. Food and drink was had by all. As the evening progresses and we all get drunker:

Chilean actress appears, sits on G's lap and starts licking his ear while he smokes a Cuban and leers at all of the female analysts. Chilean actress is not G's wife.

P grabs a female analysts ass. Twice. She resigns the next day.

No harm no foul, I guess. Other than that, my holiday parties barely bear mentioning.

Personally, I think this is solid. People, don't be scared off by all the "not impressed" assholes - I want to hear more of these. My holiday parties have been the most boring shit ever.

Mine hasn't happened yet this year, but the CEO stepping over a guy passed out on the dance floor in a previous year was pretty good. At my buddy's company, ambulances were called in the middle of the party to take 2 people who were basically comatose to the hospital.

This happened in my apartment once. Just replace "dance floor" with "living room floor". We always had a lot of people crash at our place because we were so close to the bars. I woke up the next day and there was a single turd in the middle of the room. No one would own up to it....

last year one of the first years blacked out, threw up on the bar and was taken home and put in bed personally by our group's COO. after she put him in bed she went to his kitchen and got him a glass of water. when she came back to his room he was completely naked and had thrown up on himself.
This one killed me. I cant stop laughing. Well done.

My xmas party is next week. Also have to go to my gf's this weekend. Theyre both going to be boring as shit.

Hahahaha. As I was reading this and trying to visualize the situation, for some strange reason I recalled that scene from Rushmore (which by the way is a great film) where the 15-year old protagnist wants to get a smooch+ from a schoolteacher so he arrives at her house, pretends to have gotten hit by a car and has covered his head with fake blood, and crawls into her bed.

 

Years ago had the police come to break up the holiday party because it was late and the party was deemed too noisy. An analyst got arrested for telling the cops offs. HR bailed him out of jail the next morning. He was given a 3rd year offer and a top tier bonus just a few weeks later.

You absolutely do this. Unless there is an STD, husband, or probable family relation involved. Other than those 3 things, there is literally no reason to not do this. Go forth and do great things.

 
Funniest

This was actually at my ex gf's firm's christmas party that she took me along too.

Everyone had these little place holders with their names on it around the table and on each one there was some little bullshit question that was supposed to help create conversation or something, I don't know. Well there was an open bar so I was already pretty lit by the time we sit down to eat. Everyone sits and gf's boss goes, "Well why don't we start with you, Zargo" and I'm like "uhhhh start what?" and my gf points to the card, I can tell she is already getting kind of frustrated with me. So the question is, "Who is your favorite historical figure?" and I'm like "What the fuck, I don't even like history?" so I just try and think of the first person to come to my mind and I blurt out "Adolf Hitler", then I think it's hilarious and start giggling to myself. Finally look around the table and everyone is staring at me. No one else is laughing. gf's nails are digging into my leg.

We broke up shortly after that.

 

Hahahah thats great ^

And we just had ours recently (BB) and it was pretty lackluster. Shots were not allowed to be poured and overall pretty boring. Plus no guests were allowed so it was the same people I always see. But I did hear about some good stories from back in the hayday. One guy told me about how they had midgets come and perform, that was interesting.

A few years back: Flew in people from MO and BO just so we could put a face to the voice on the other side. Ended up with a chick from MO getting wasted, trying to hook up with all the VPs before she passed out butt-naked in the supply room. She hasn't returned to a single office party since.

This year: Found bright pink dildos glued to the top of every screen on my row. That's what you get for calling HR a bunch of dickheads, but kudos to the guy who actually went out and bought all those dildos.

Every year: Getting shitfaced and trying to get the people that has to work (Asian and US market hours) drunk. Having a steady flow of pizza comming in the next day, curtesy of the head of trading.

Holiday Party at the boutique I worked at before transitioning to PE...

Cool Thing - We were at the same restaurant that Mark Zuckerberg happened to be at that night for some reason. A few beers deep, I gave Zuck a "what's up" nod as we passed each other on the way to the bathroom. My gesture was not returned...

Funny Thing - Later in the night, when the tequila shots had been brought out, I was pretty hammered and trying to get everyone to do shots with me. I go up to the managing partner of the firm (who rarely drank and whose tab this was on) and tried to get him to take one with me. Much to my chagrin, he would not oblige. So I exclaimed, "Cmon! It's an open bar - they're FREE!" Immediately realized my mistake as everyone started laughing their asses off...

He took the shot though!

Also - not at a holiday party, but at my new firm I ICED one of the Partners. He iced me back...

Ha-ha, classic. Moral of the story: don't drink too much at corporate events. Second, and possibly more important, moral of the story: don't drink too much at corporate events if you are a closeted homosexual who doesn't want to come out to your colleagues at the Christmas party.
 

This happened to me the first year as an analyst: - Got hammered at the Christmas party doing shots with the VP from another office whom I worked with on two deals - On the way to the toilet stumbled into a table shattering two bottles of champaign, ripped my shirt and started bleeding - Hid in the toilet for 30 minutes to avoid getting kicked out - Caught by the bouncer on the way out, our whole group was kicked out, luckily the most senior guys had already gone home - Went to a second party with the remaining group, was kicked out after starting a fight with two guys trying to speak to our assistants - Tried to get a cab in rain / snow for one hour, impossible as no one wanted to drive a drunk retard in a bloody shirt home - A taxi stopped with above VP, asked if I needed a ride, I ended passing out in his hotel room - Arrived at work at 11am the next day, the group md walked up to my desk, I was certain I was going to get fired, he was just laughing his ass off asking if I had a good time...

This is 100% based on a true story, funny thing the VP and I are still very good friends, he was my key reference for my new gig

 

Back when i was in consulting... - tickets to the company party (aka "prom") would sell on craigslist for $100 (open bar/food/tons of drunk 22-30 yr olds) - CEO was making a bullshit speech about how great the company was doing while someone was being taken by paramedics for alcohol poisoning - turns out our company got banned from hosting at any smithsonian museums

I intern at a PWM, for their xmas party they only invited their top tier clients, I wanted to use it almost as a networking event. I decided to take several shots of whiskey before I went in to take the edge off, this was first my mistake since I can't stop drinking once I start. I walked through the front doors and right to the bar. Grabbed a few brews each for the date and I. The bar was only beer and wine, so few of the younger people and I went to my car and took more whiskey shots in the parking lot, an even worse mistake. Proceeded to the dance floor. Ditched my date and started trying to fuck the partners' wives (yes plural), got rejected. Tried to fuck the VP of a well known insurance firm, got rejected. Decided it was time to try to fuck the hot assistant, she had been in the bathroom awhile, so I went in there to see what she was doing. The owner's wife was in there along with several other old rich ladies, they yelled in disbelief until I exited. Saw a couple of the partners coming towards me, I grabbed my date and bailed. Luckily she was hammered also, or else she would never have let me stay the night with her after those events. Today I went into work with my head down in shame, only to receive a fist bump from the richest of the partners (the only single one) saying he liked my style. Everyone else just thought I was an idiot, but let it go because I am young and stupid. I will never drink a company party again.

And even though I am not drunk right now I can totally understand your drunk logic, could see myself taking the same approach. "I think she was giving me the eyes earlier and she has been in the bathroom for 30 minutes, she must be in there waiting for me to come hook up with her." Perfect.

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..

Most likely, you will be a high functioning alcoholic, but you heard it here first. The inability to stop drinking is the first sign of fhe problem.

Haha unfortunately that is exactly what I was thinking.

 

my story is pretty tame in comparison to some of these, but here goes...

it wasn't a "holiday party" per se. rather it was late december, the day before my company goes on a 2 week shut down for the holidays (i'm at a f500 tech firm). hardly anyone is in the office: my boss and anyone i support are already out on vacation.

my coworker and i go out to grab lunch at the brewery next door... we compliment our food with a couple of glasses of belgian ale each. at this point, i decide that i want to try the strongest beer on the menu, and see something called "He'brew Jew-bilation 15", at a whopping 15% abv. i order it thinking it would come in a belgian style ale glass, but instead they bring me a tall bottle. i finish it and walk back to work. yeah... i was pretty hammered. i go back to work, check a few emails, and start bothering the receptionist with ridiculous requests. the IT guy comes around and tells me that "i have that lock dock for were looking for"... i responded by telling him that i found it amusing that "lock dock" rhymed with "cock dock". keep in mind that nobody else has been drinking so everybody in the office thinks i'm an asshole.

after, i stumble to the train station, pass out on the train, wake up in the wrong city, and throw up everywhere (on the train). somehow manage to get home. i would have been in serious shit if anyone important was around... dodged that bullet.

Money Never Sleeps? More like Money Never SUCKS amirite?!?!?!?

Let me be the first to give you an SB. Classic, classic, classic.

I thank you my friend, I had been wanting an SB for awhile. But if you guys look I even posted a little over a week ago whether I should even bring a date, since I was serious about getting some solid contacts. The only networking I did was asking the VP if she wanted to come home with me... which was obviously her fault for being hot. So for anyone with a lack of self-control that hasn't been to a company party yet, heed my advice: don't drink.

So this is not perhaps the debauchery I wish it were (for the purpose of this thread) but...

I work in China PE. The tradition for Chinese New Year is to drink 'bai jiu' literally 'white alcohol' which is essentially distilled rocket fuel. It is a kick to the head and the 'nads at the same time. Think vodka, but less smooth and much higher alcohol content. Couple this with needing to toast each and every single MD and VP, and suddenly you have a recipe for alcohol poisoning and / or craziness. We toast, joke, arm wrestle, etc. But the challenging thing is - we do this at lunch time, and we still have to go back to work after. So at this firm, year after year it's the same scene. Dozens of toasts of rocket fuel liquor, walking into walls, then back to your desk to try to crank out some work. And every year I close my eyes, I swear just for a second, and then snap awake with my face firmly planted and drooling on the keyboard, my document augmented with a long line of "ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp"

 

Our christmas party ended when one of the young traders got blackout drunk and started swinging at anyone in range. Four people showed up to the office on friday with black eyes, and they're not sure who gave them out. Once the kid started swinging, some people took the opportunity to take a few free ones at anyone that pissed them off that year.

At a party with my smallish group at an unimpressive steakhouse. Manager is pissed of with the svp so he decides to nail him with a cream pie. Svp finds out before hand and pays the you g assistant to reverse the flavour. I'm sitting at one end of the table with the svp as he rises to thank everyone for a great year.....when the manager sitting at the other end starts yelling, stands on his chair and turns around and drops trou.....the 2 east Indian support staff to his immediate left were stunned as they were treated to what appeared to be the back end of marmaduke...balls and all.

The assistant runs up as he is bent over and stuffs the cream pie up his ass. I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of the chair. And it gets just a bit better because the svp's jacket is on the back of the managers chair who turns stunned at his messy cavity and wipes his ass on the arm o the svp's jacket as he sits down....

I can still see the svp's face as he goes to pick up his jacket later in the evening with ass whip on the arm.....he cringes and sets it back down. He left it behind.

Next morning the two East Indian women were subjected to Endless jokes about their ballsy view at the gathering. A fucking gas. Never laughed so hard before or since.

 

I'm a corporate finance co-op at a F500 and the group I work in just had out Christmas party.

To start off our whole group went out to a well-known German restaurant. We split up into teams of 5 and did boot races, if you've seen Beerfest you know what boots i'm talking about. Other than finding out that 3 different people in my group each know "actresses" featured on Bangbus and Casting Couch the actual dinner wasn't too eventful.

After dinner a bunch of the guys from our group decided to keep drinking and headed out to a local bar. After hitting the bar pretty hard for about an hour our manager was pretty trashed and starting giving everyone shit about getting out drank by a 41 year old man. At this point he started referring to himself as "Big Pappa Pump," apparently he was a pretty big Scott Stiner fan back in the day... After one more round of beers "Big Pappa Pump" turns to all of us and unleashes this gem, "Do you know what the difference between me and you five bitches is? I'm going home and getting laid to night" and gives us the WWE Gen-X Suck it move.

When my manager came in the next day he told us how not only didn't he get laid but he's now in the doghouse with the Misses for getting so trashed and driving home.

If you don't know who Scott Stiner is:

 

Guys, I think I have found out the best x-mas party this year: The Christmas party for AutoAlliance in Thailand ! I have just read about this story and in summary the company's 4,000 person staff gathered at a restaurant in Chonburi, roughly 60 miles south of Bangkok, for a night full of holiday cheer and prizes. But, as tends to happen in such situations, people started hitting the booze. When it was time to hand out prizes, a fight broke out, and the situation quickly escalated. Things got out of hand when some men threw bottles at each other and eventually, bottle and glass tossing turned into gun fight of sorts, as multiple shots were reportedly fired. At one point, a craft-enthusiastic threw a homemade grenade into the mix. Food throwing was also apparently rampant, as over 400 tables of catering were destroyed in the melee. All told, 30 attendees were injured, including one person who was in critical condition (reportedly from the homemade grenade).

I have been laughing at this for the past 20mn ! WTF ! A Hand Grenade...

Having drinks with my boss at the Christmas party having accepted a better offer somewhere else. They couldn't understand why I was so cheery, when I'm usually not a very "smiley" person at work. I almost wanted to do something dickish to them, but knowing that I'd be putting in my two weeks come the next business day and not saying anything was just too much fun.

Glad you held your drink/s long enough.

I would've probably accidentally spilled it after getting too inebriated and "cheery."

Company CFO rented out this really hipster restaurant in a trendy part of town.. Problem is 95% of the firm is staunch big dick swinging republicans that like making fun of hipsters when they are shit faced.. That didnt go down too well with the staff. After 5 months being with the company I've become pretty close with some of the partners. They love to relive glory days by having me talk about my Friday nights. Anyway after getting extremely wasted and competing in a few boat races with a few of the other analyst and partners we decide to make a go for the next bar. I hop in the cab with the partner and his extreme hot (and drunk) wife and head to their hotel - whose bar was the one we were all going to. Partners tells me to come up to his suite with his wife to take a fat lipper and have a scotch. I do as told. We start spitting into cups and talking about football - broing out. When his wife says "hunny I'm going to change before we head to the bar", mind you I'm sitting in the living room of the suit now Smoking a cigar with the partner. He winks at me and says "hey sweetheart (talking to his wife), why don't you show (me) a few of your old moves. Apparently drunk wife was former stripper in another life. I shit you not I proceed to get stripped teased by the partners wife. Scotch, lipper, and cigar in hand all while the partner is asking me if I like the shape of his wife's ass.

After a few fist pumps and acting like nothing just happened the 3 of us make it up to the bar, and immediately get kicked out after partner makes fun of hipster haircut and starts a fight.

Last thing i remember was projectile vomiting out of the cab window and eating pizza at 4 am.
