What is the most appalling thing you have ever witnessed at an office Christmas/Holiday party? 
  
Overwhelmingly, survey respondents indicated that drunkenness was the primary source of evil and trouble at their parties.  We can thank Jack Daniels, Sam Adams, Johnny Walker and others for this holiday blessing! Here is a sampling of answers:
  
Three guys mooning a fellow employee (maybe alcohol isn't such a good idea)
A female employee dancing on the table (too much to drink!)
A man trying to break dance when it was not cool to be doing that anymore.
A secretary kissing a married co-worker in front of co-worker's wives.
A woman from the laundry department removing her top on the dance floor.
  
The boss handing out bonus checks and asking recipients to tell the audience how much the check was for!!
An employee with no underwear on, in a skirt, bending over a pool table to play a game.
A fistfight between a co-worker & member of the band.
My co-worker gave a pregnancy test as her gift exchange and my boss picked her gift. He didn't even know what it was at first. Then it sat in his office on his bookshelf for months.
Someone sneezing over the buffet!
Tying knot in a maraschino cherry stem with tongue.
