I really really don't want to go to my Christmas work night out. I've tried various excuses but none of them have worked. Any idea? These are the ones I've tried:

1) No money- its free
2) No transport- my boyfriend has already told everyone that he'd drive me
3) Something else arranged- it was arranged in Feb of last year
4) Fake illness- my boss has already said thar fake illness isn't an acceptable excuse

Its on the 23rd December which I thinks too near to Christmas.

HELP!

[MK Chris]

How about "I'm not going because I don't want to"? It's surely not obligatory.

[Betti911]

Yes it is. Its like work. You have to give notice to the boss if you're not going Its just too near Xmas!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

just go and make loads of noise and meet everyone then leave after half an hour.

[Adam]

Yeah at least turn up and show you've made the effort to go, then as Gaspode said, promptly leave via the nearest exit.

[Sidders]

Claim you're snowed in.

[fish heads]

If you are that desperate claim you have had a bereavement.

[MK Chris]

Yeah but remember who you're bereaved about cos when they actually snuff it you'll have to tell them someone else died.

[Sidders]

You could make up a Great Aunt Marge or something.

[Quincy]

just go betti you chicken.

[Betti911]

Yeah I guess I'll have to Its a total pain in the tits tho. I always get stuck beside the drunkest person there.

Has anyone else got such quality type nights coming up?

[Quincy]

office party which will be utter rubbish as its all computer geeks, and for my other job were going bowling which will also be crap because its fat slags and idiots who are dull.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

ive avoided mine by technically being in limbo and not knowing which department i am in when i go back.

[Walter Sobchak]

Why not go, then leave after 5 minutes......

Take a whoppee cushion with you under your arm, walk in pretending you are drunk, go up to your boss and say "You smell of old cabbage" laugh hysterically, let off the whoppee cushion, then shout at your boss "GOD YOU FARTED AGAIN!" (preferably say that to your boss' husband/wife)

it worked when I done it

~Kwyjibo is now looking for alternative employment~



joke!

[Sheep]

That would probably get you fired.

[Mafro]

I've got my work's christmas night out on Saturday night, not sure if i can be arsed going yet, it starts at 8 and I'm working till 8:15. Tossers.

[Sidders]

We always have ours after Christmas. Not even sure if we're having one this year.

[Betti911]

After Christmas would be better as people are usually free round about then. I suggested an after Christmas theatre trip instead (no drinking, no speaking) but noone was up for it

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

i think drink is essential when going out with work people anyway.

[Quincy]

totally. our boss is paying us £20 each to come out after the party cos he has to go and he is scared. they are a bunch of socially inept geeks it gonna be hilarious.

[Adam]

I'm avoiding my christmas party, just say you dont want to go.

[Betti911]

i think drink is essential when going out with work people anyway.

I think its dangerous! You might tell them what you actually think of them.

[Mafro]

Or the girls at work that you fancy.

[Sidders]

Or the girls at work that you fancy.

That never happened to me last year. Hopefully this year it will, otherwise I'll be left wondering for another year.
