These Real Stories of Holiday Office Party Hookups Will Get You Fired Up

Is there a better place to make bad decisions than at your workplace holiday party? We think not. You might just get drunk enough to buy your boss a shot or go way beyond that and give your boss a shot - in bed. And while, yes, the latter makes for an awkward morning meeting, it also makes a hell of a story. And isn't that what New Year's resolutions are for anyway?

We scowled the internet for some of the hottest real-life confessions of office party hookups during the holidays.

"A coworker and I needed a place to make out after polishing off a bottle of wine together. So we headed to my car in the parking lot. Just as things started getting interesting, the police showed up and didn't drive away until we stumbled back into our office building. Once they were out of sight, we went back to my car and finished what we'd started." - Willow F.

"I get quite, er, affectionate after a few drinks and was feeling suitably rowdy at the work Christmas drinks two years ago. I ended up snogging a girl from the office who I vaguely knew and was really nice. But I'm gay and live with my boyfriend, and she emailed me the next day telling me that she'd had a really fun night, but her head hurt and all that. I couldn't bring myself to tell her I was gay and I was so wasted, so I asked my friend to drop a hint. Fortunately, she saw the funny side." - Max.

"My boss had a thing for ugly Christmas sweaters, so at his last holiday party, we all showed up wearing the most hideous sweaters we could find. At the time, a coworker and I were having a secret fling, and we got our freak on just before the boss's wife called us together for a staff photo. We all received a copy of the pic the following week, and everyone looked great—except for me and the guy I'd slept with. Thanks to the static from tearing off our sweaters—and, you know, having sex on them—we both looked like we'd stuck our fingers in a light socket." —Cassidy G

"After years spent being professional as the head of HR in a big city firm, you know, the position where your entire job is to be politically correct and to investigate any sort of bad office conduct, the head of HR had a foursome with three other senior members of the company after the Christmas party and none of them came to the office the next day. Word got out pretty quickly." - Jen

"I had a serious crush on the new guy at work and decided to take action at our staff Christmas party. When he went to the bathroom, I noticed his blazer draped over a chair. I slipped a sexy note in his coat pocket, telling him to meet me in my office for a little bow chicka bow wow. Only, as it turned out, it wasn't his blazer. Instead, Ted from accounting walks into my office, acting as if he had a winning lottery ticket in his hand. Long story short: Ted and I are married now." —Tia B

"A junior member of staff got very drunk at our Christmas party and swung her arm around the big boss (not just the boss, the big scary boss who you don't talk to unless they talk to you) at the bar and said 'we can make this company work together, we just need to come up with better ideas'. She was later spotted telling nervous boys on the dance floor in Cruel Intentions style that they could "put it anywhere". She sent an email the next day saying she's been offered another job." - Kevin
