One horror story is when the boss got really drunk at the office holiday party. He started singing off - key karaoke very loudly and then tried to do some wild dance moves. It was so embarrassing for everyone. He also made inappropriate jokes that made the staff uncomfortable.
One common element is inappropriate behavior. This can be from drunken employees or bosses making fools of themselves or saying offensive things. Another is bad organization. Like the food being wrong or the venue having issues as I mentioned before. Also, things like bad gift exchanges where people get offensive or unwanted gifts.
At a holiday office party, the power suddenly went out. People were stumbling around in the dark, and someone accidentally knocked over the Christmas tree. Ornaments were shattered all over the place, and it took ages to clean up. Plus, it kind of ruined the party mood.

The most common one is probably the over - drinking issue. Like when someone drinks too much and either gets into fights or makes a fool of themselves. It's really embarrassing for everyone involved.
Food disasters are common. For example, the turkey being undercooked at a Thanksgiving party. Everyone was looking forward to the main dish, but when it was cut open, it was still raw inside.
One common horror story is the over - drunk colleague. At an office Christmas party, there was a guy who drank way too much and started singing really loudly and off - key, ruining the nice atmosphere. He then tripped over a chair and knocked over the Christmas tree, causing ornaments to break everywhere.
One possible story could be that at the office party, the wife starts flirting with a co - worker she has always found attractive. She might dance too closely with him and exchange some overly friendly glances. Later, she even lies to her husband about how late she stayed at the party and who she was with.
One of the best office party stories was when we had a themed party. Everyone dressed as their favorite movie characters. Our boss came as Gandalf from 'The Lord of the Rings'. He even had a fake beard and a staff. He did an impression of Gandalf giving a speech which was hilarious and made the whole party so much fun.
During my beach holiday, we rented a beach house. One evening, a violent storm hit. The power went out, and water started seeping into the house. We found out that the house had some hidden leaks. It was a nightmare trying to find candles and deal with the flooding water while the storm raged outside. We ended up leaving the house in the middle of the night and finding a hotel.
