Snowflakes ban sex & booze at Xmas parties
ALWAYSHOME OF TOPLESS BABES Getting drunk is not on, say drips
SIMPERING snowflakes are threatening to destroy the Christmas party – with almost HALF saying it’s “inappropriate” to get pissed at the annual knees-up.
The days of getting sozzled at the work Xmas bash, snogging a colleague under the mistletoe and photocopying your arse on the office copier are on the verge of dying out, says a study.
A poll of 2,000 British office workers found that 47% reckoned it was “inappropriate” to get drunk at the annual office shindig.
The study also found that 74% of those quizzed said they would never snog a co-worker under the mistletoe for fear of getting into trouble – thanks to #MeToo troublemakers.
Privates
Asked if they had ever thought of using the photocopier to take pics of their privates, a prudish 28% said it “never crossed their minds”, with only 10% admitting having done it.
A total of 86% said the office Christmas party of the past – where almost everyone got drunk, with some folk wrecking the office and others bedding colleagues – was now “long gone”.
Around 60% of those polled said they had to stump up their own cash for the party, handing over an average of £34 for lunch and drinks – with one-third even saying they had to work during the day after getting calls and emails from important clients.
The poll, by hotel chain Jury’s Inn, found one-in-three workers resented having to spend “more time” with work colleagues.
When asked who was the worst person to get stuck chatting to at the do, 22% said the boss, 21% said IT staff and 19% said accounts.
One-in-five said that a boss hiring a dry ice machine was the “top cringeworthy” thing to do for an office party, with 17% saying a glitter ball was tacky.
