Avoid Getting Fired at Your Office Christmas Party

'Tis the season to...get fired? Not if you follow these simple tips at your company office party.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A job
  • Common decency
  1. Step 1

    Just because the atmosphere seems casual doesn't mean you can ask your boss to fetch you a drink by patting her on the butt.

  2. Step 2

    Don't open any door with a sock tied around the knob.

  3. Step 3

    If your Secret Santa gives you a present that falls obviously below the minimum value guidelines, don't react by shouting, "What, are you on welfare or something?!?"

  4. Step 4

    Be sure to check your blood alcohol content before professing your undying love to someone.

  5. Step 5

    Don't compliment your boss's wife by saying she doesn't look like the raging psycho he makes her out to be.

  6. Step 6

    Your joke about the traveling salesman, the farmer's daughter and the blind ferret won't fly here.

  7. Step 7

    Don't wear a mistletoe belt buckle.

  8. Step 8

    Even if well-intentioned, refrain from calling your female boss a "nutcracker."

  9. Step 9

    Make sure you know exactly who it is you're buying a Secret Santa present for. If you end up giving it to the wrong person, and the person happens to be a minority, don't apologize by saying, "All you people look alike to me."

  10. Step 10

    This is neither the time nor place to return the velour thong your boss left at your apartment.

  11. Step 11

    Wait until all of your immediate supervisors leave before filling the bathroom soap dispenser with pee.

on 11/7/2008 So funny. I love this! Brings back memories of when I waitressed at Howard Johnson's in college. The Christmas party was a complete horror show that ended with the cook peeing all over the kitchen floor in full view of everyone.
