A career-threatening hangover...
Having had too much to drink last night, my hangover has just effectively removed any chances of promotion by disabling my brain-mouth sense-checker.

Having a sushi lunch with my boss in Camden, I started by describing the starter he was having as looking "a bit scrotal. Yep, it's definitely ballbagesque".

He skimmed over this faux pas by talking up the healthiness of Japanese food. When I cast doubt on his theory, he made the mistake of asking me to name "one Japanese thing that's unhealthy".

"Ermm... bukkake?"

So, how have you managed to single-handedly ruin your own career, hungover or not?

great stuff
I vote that this wins QOTW, despite not being on topic

My QOTW replies have been increasingly off-topic...
I decided that throwing them in here is probably favourable to crowbarring them into the weekly question using increasingly tenuous methods.

I hear bukakke is very good for the skin.

Did she catch you?

not that I know of

I read "estranged" as "strange"
I'm not sure whether that would have made you a better person or not...

hahaha
the thing that makes me a bad person is that she considered me a friend, I was best friends with her sister but....then again...I'm pretty sure her sister fucked him too.

oops

It's fine then...
...however bad a person you were, the sister was worse*

a few
Snogged my boss's girlfriend (it was back when I was 17 and before they were together but it still made me worry for a while when my boss introduced her and I realised who she was.)
Being spun round on a high wheely chair in reception singing Wuthering Heights and trying to get my leg over my head. Drunk from the night before.
Skiving on here.
