Wife got drunk at a work thing last night and acted a fool. How do I play it today?

OP-

You need to have much more concern for the well being of your wife, and not so much for the people at work.

Besides that, going to parties and drinking with people from work sounds like a dumb thing to do.

Surely it was all in her mind. Alcohol has no effect on human performance and the fact that people think it does is just a huge con by the alcoholic beverage companies.

Right J.R.?

Ok that was awesome. Well played.

Do what Don Draper of Madmen would to.

Don't explain.

If asked keep the answer brief.

Redirect to work.

Talk to your wife.

No drinking at company events.

I missed that one.

But I enjoyed this thread. Thread starter gets a free Letsrun.com shirt.

Would the shirt be personalized as:

"My wife got drunk at my work event now we are on a trail separation and all I got was this t-shirt"

I saw her too! wrote:

That is odd. I was at my wife's work dinner and when I went to the bathroom a woman stumbled in and came on to me, clearly tipsy, I told her no and tried to get her back to her table but she could not even remember who she came with. It was sad. I finally left her with the waitstaff for fear I would miss my wife getting her award recognition. I wonder if that was your wife. What city/hotel was this at. I was in Houston.

Sounds like this is legit after all.

Actually this is very weird but the above story is true because I was in that same men's room in Houston when this woman stumbles in (yes the men's room!) and tries to connect with this other guy in there. He was a perfect gentleman, tried to help her out and then directed her to the waitstaff to assist her back to her seat.

I saw the whole thing. After he left, I approached this drunken lady, was friendly and kind to her, then tried to hit on her. She said, "Conundrum (don't know how she knew my name) I'm drunk, but I'm not THAT DRUNK."

(Then I hit on the waitstaff, fortunately she was more amenable)

She is on medication. It was a bad evening. She is ok now

quaker steak...

I missed that one.

lazy mods deleted orig (link from thread above?) instead of cleaning bad posts?

I think you misunderstood her. No way she knows your name. She probably said: "Condom, I'm drunk, but I'm not THAT DRUNK".

Seems like she just got s bit drunk. Nothing to worry about really.

I remember a few years ago a colleague brought his wife along to some office drinks. Her and one of admin girls got really out of it and were running about flashing their tits at everyone.

Most of us thought this was hilarious but my colleague was obviously not impressed. They had a blazing row and both stormed out.

On the Monday morning he went for the 'her drink was spiked' defense. Nobody believed him. In reality we are all a bit jealous because his wife had a lovely set out of tits.

Anyway, they are divorced now.

I love when Brits post here. Was the woman British? That would be hot?

Dear Letsrun/Penthouse:

I never thought these posts were true until it happened to me. A few days ago I was at a hotel in Houston in the men's room taking care of my business after a long flight. I was on my phone starting to read one of the training threads when there is a commotion and I hear the click of high heels come in and a guy says "hey this is the men's room, are you okay?" A woman says something like "ate too much chicken kiev and vodka", then she clearly gets sick. The guy tries to see if she is okay and she mumbles she loves him and she wants him to hold her. Another guy comes in and the first guy leaves he says to get waitstaff. The 2nd guy starts talking to her and says "Has anyone ever told you that you look like Paula Radcliffe?" I kid you not. Actually said it. And I hear them trying to go at it, so gross after she got sick, then the 1st guy comes back in along with the waitperson and they take the woman out somewhere.

A few moments later as I get rear to leave, a couple of maids in fancy french maid outfits come in to clean the bathroom. i look at them and there is just something in the air. It is not cold but we all feel it and are trembling. They start kissing each other in front of me and before you know one thing leads to another and I invite them up to my room for an incredible night. Next morning I wake up and I got extra mints on my pillow. I can't wait to get back to Houston next business trip.

The only thing you forgot was one of the maids was an amputee.

Why is this on LRC?

So the question is, how do I play this off at work today? I'm planning on letting it go, let them have their moment of gossip. But is their a way to lessen the blow so to speak.

Tell them that she was taking medication which interacted with the alcohol.

Don't tell them anything.

What your wife does is none of their business.

I'd have no patience for anyone disrespecting my wife.

Too bad I already did....many times...
