Hard not to drink when a good party is on

Here’s what you do-  
 1. Cut nimbus and add salt and pepper to it.  
 2. Keep drinking it and until you either fart the alcohol out or you feel much lighter  
 3. Wear sunglasses

Nimbus always work man. But how do you get them at the office

So your male manager grabbed your arm.... 😶

Could have just said it is an emergency and go to the toilet. Embarrassing incident but people will forget in a few days. If you feel too much embarrassed then ask  wfh for a few days .

Manager holding anyone by hand... Damn I haven't seen this in my career till now. Doesn't sound good either.

Know your limits and don't cross them. That's the only way to drink responsibly. Everything else is damage control mostly.

One way to mitigate this is eating something before drinking alcohol, eating fruit and staying hydrated while drinking, waiting 30-40 mins between each drink to gauge if you can handle it or not, and don't mix different types of alcohol.

Generalist

Eat. Fried carbs (think naan, desi style pizza, pav) before you go to bed. Then eat in the morning. Avoid fruits in the morning. Have a cup of ORS alongside your breakfast.

I had too much to drink yesterday and my stomach was hurting a lot. I was feeling super nauseous. Suddenly my stomach gurgled a lot and I became too nauseous. I had an Ondem but it couldn’t save me...

I had too much to drink yesterday and my stomach was hurting a lot. I was feeling super nauseous. Suddenly my stomach gurgled a lot and I became too nauseous. I had an Ondem but it couldn’t save me from what was about to come.

I started running for the washroom when my manager suddenly grabbed my arm. “Hold on! I need your input on this analysis!”

I panicked and tried running but he was deep in explanation, completely ignorant to my predicament. The pressure kept building, and I could hardly concentrate. Finally, I managed to escape and rushed to the washroom, but it was too late.

I had an accident and puked all over my dress.

What could I have done differently?

What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you in office

The funniest shit happened at the office today. I was at my desk after lunch, vibing to "Like That(Remix)" by Kanye West and writing some test cases for this CI/CD I am setting up for a new feature. 

My friend calls me up and says that there is a BlinkIt parcel that I need to collect from the front desk. I'm like Bro I am busy right now. He says it's an emergency. I am like Okay.

So, I collect it from front desk and now he asks me to bring it to the WC. I am like bro wut?? 
He's like he needs it ASAP. So I oblige lmao.

I come to know that he has ordered Track Pants from BlinkIt because he shit his pants. Apparently, he had some street food yesterday and his stomache got upset. He had an in-person meeting and he wanted to leave for washroom because of his diarrhea. But he couldn't because he was presenting. Unfortunately, by the time that meeting got over he ran towards the WC. Yet, he was too late and ended up ruining his pants. 

This might be the funniest shit I have experienced. My private group on Teams is blowing up lmao.

Someone just 💩 in their pants in the office...

Looking forward to your answers. 
Here’s my bizarre story. 😂

Something that happened a few years ago but let me assure you all, one of the craziest stories ever.

I was working out of office that day and I hear two folks chatter. So, I stand up to see beyond my cubicle. 

A Senior and his Junior are talking. Since, I was due for a break, I decided to sit and listen from my cubicle.

The junior is talking about one of her direct reportees. He was a new joiner at the company and had moved cities. Apparently, rather than cooking at home he used to order food every meal. 

This messed up his stomach. So when he was at office one day, he wanted to go to the washroom. But, on his way a very senior VP paused him to congratulate this guy on a client feedback for his first project.

Poor fellow, couldn’t hold it in anymore and dashed to the washroom but he was too late. The entire men’s washroom floor was smeared with watery diarrhoea.  🤢

Apparently, it had already been a couple of weeks since then and very few people knew about this. But by now, some people along with me had overheard this story being narrated.

And OMGG, the office slack channel started going wild with GIFs and memes being dropped like crazy. 🤪😂

And now this memory is imprinted in the minds of everyone at the office, just like that shit stain on the washroom floor. 😶‍🌫️😂

Juicy Tales from the Water Cooler: What is the craziest thing you overheard at work?

Ever since 9th grade, I watch a football compilation video every time I am about to step on the field to play football. ⚽️🏟️

While I’m tying my shoe laces, the music thumping in my ears with cinematic visuals of the most insane football skills ever. 🤯

All throughout my college days as well, before every football game. I used to carry my headphones with me and watch a video. Emulate some flairs and new skills on the field, score long range goals and Shush the crowd. 🤫

Even today, when that time has long gone by, anytime there is a friendly Sunday match between friends. I’m sure to blast some music and just watch football before playing.

And yes, even today I get the same goosebumps as I step on the field and touch the ball. It’s the best feeling ever.

What about you? What’s the one unexpected habit that has stuck with you ever since you were a kid? 🤔💭

Bad hangover!! Any tips??

Staff Engineer

I was standing near Whitefield in my 4 wheeler around midnight, just away from the hustle bustle of the fast life, smoking a cigarette and had a beer 1 hour before the incident (beer can was present in the car) when a police Jeep stopped and asked me to come out. 

They checked my entire car (to find more illegal drugs 'read Marijuana') but didn't find anything. 

Started threatening me with the car seizure. 
When I asked them to do breath analyzer test as I was 100% sure of being in the permissible limit, they asked me to come to police station for the same after they issue me a challan. 

How can they issue a drink driving challan when I am not drunk and without a breath analyzer?
And started threatening me with 25000 rs fine plus car being released in 6 months plus more than a lac of rupees in lawyer cost. (Ofcourse bullshitting me)

They were doing the proper good cop bad cop tactic and I had to pay them 7k bribe just to get out of there. (Couldn't risk the whole court drama, couldn't afford time as I was roaming without the knowledge of my family and avoid anxiety to them and my car also has northern registration)


But is this justified ? 
Can we not even smoke a cigarette in our vehicle in this godforsaken city  ? 
Do we need to be mindful of the goons or the police ? 

Anyways, what is the best way to get out of such situations?

you paid them bribes and have the audacity to question them doing illegal stuff ?

Yesterday night there are lot many pages with p2 

I just woke up and i don’t know what to do. 

Am i going to be in trouble ?

I forgot that i was on-call

A very senior manager who barely drinks, got too pumped up during our offsite. Started ordering shots for everyone, one after the other. We had never seen him dance, and somehow, he was the person who danced the most that night.

Eventually, he started openly cursing at a partner (in a playful way, but could easily be non playful), and somebody recorded this. 
I think the video circulated, and it's been weird for him since.

I live in Bangalore with 2 other flatmates in a  popular society in Bellandur. This one night my flatmate started doing some Nashe because his Hinge date stood him up at the restaurant.

I was like whatever. Who even cares about this. I had to go on a date with this girl I had been seeing for a couple of weeks.

We went to Ironhill Bangalore and had a great time. She said that she wanted to see my society. So we went there afterwards and one thing led to another and we ended up in my room. 

The next morning when I woke up I heard someone scream. It was my flatmate who saw my date leaving and he started crying saying that she was the one who stood him up. I took him to his room to calm down. Tab tak she left.

Later that day he started drinking a lot because of this and blamed his qismat. I did not know that he was drinking and I only came to know later. That was a big mistake for me.

I had to go on a trip the next day so I was busy packing. I asked him to get me 10,000 cash from ATM while I would go to get printouts of papers I needed in my village.

He took my wallet and left.

2 hours later. He came back home and gave me the transaction receipt. Apparently, he kept the transaction receipt in his left pocket and ripped up Rs. 10,000 ke notes in full Nashe and threw them away thinking that it was the reciept.

I slapped him so hard that day and asked him to vacate the flat. Made him sleep on the bloody footpath that night.

AITA? What else could have I done?

Reddit stories slowly creeping up on GV. 🤣

I had an unfortunate experience this morning that has left me feeling really stressed and helpless. While traveling on the train, my co-passenger mistakenly took my bag. Unfortunately, I have no way of contacting them to retrieve it.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Called 139 railway helpline
Contacted the Railway Protection Force (RPF)
Spoke with the station master
Despite all these efforts, I haven’t had any luck in locating my bag or the co-passenger. It’s frustrating because this seems like such a simple problem with a straightforward solution – if only I had their contact number!

I’m reaching out to you all for any ideas or advice on what more I can do. Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Is there any other authority or service I should contact that might be able to help?

Want to look professional but also show some personality.
