40+ of the Most Embarrassing Office Party Fails Ever

The Most Embarrassing Office Party Fails Ever

Any office worker could tell you about their love/hate relationship with office parties. They can be uncomfortable, but they make for some good memories, whether funny or awkward. From unknowingly flirting with the boss’s wife to making out with a co-worker only for the whole office to see, we’ve compiled a list of the most embarrassing office party fails ever!

So He’s the Jerk

One of the worst things that can happen to you in the office is having a bad boss. Your boss has enough power and influence that a bad one makes everything harder to deal with.

So He’s the Jerk

Imagine complaining about your boss within earshot of your kid, and then this slips out at the office Christmas party. We need to know what the boss’s reaction was to her little outburst. Hopefully, he’s a boss with a sense of humor!

A Friendly Slap

Have you ever been chatting with someone and gone to pat their arm or their back, just for them to move and you accidentally touch them somewhere inappropriate? Or maybe you’ve accidentally hit them because of it.

A Friendly Slap

It sounds like this guy has got some pretty poor reaction times. He should probably get his reflexes checked or his poor boss will keep suffering from accidental slaps. At least it gave everyone at the office party something to talk about.

Tan in a Can

Let’s throw it back to the early 2000s. The Hills was on TV, girls were layering their lacy tank tops like there was no tomorrow, and everyone was obsessed with spray tans.

Tan in a Can

Flash forward to 2016 — when someone actually thought a can of spray tan was a good gift, and the one person who definitely didn’t need it was the one who got it. We bet he threw that can back in 2006 where it belonged.

That’s the Boss’s Wife

Office parties mean people bringing their partners, and people bringing their partners means strangers at the office. But, strangers at the office doesn’t mean that you can just start flirting with them willy-nilly.

That’s the Boss’s Wife

You have to assume that the person you’re talking to was brought by someone they’re in a relationship with, so be careful with that liquid courage and bottle it up for another occasion, or you’ll end up flirting with the boss’s wife — like this guy did!
