15 Problems Only People Who Hate Christmas Will Understand

3. Office Christmas Parties

To get drunk, or not to get drunk. That's the real question. Of course, being sober means listening to the inane chatter of co-workers, or worse, being the sober one in a room full of drunken holiday idiots. Being drunk, however, means risking embarrassing yourself in front of your boss and office mates yet again, and potentially making an ill-advised pass at a mail room clerk who only looks good after a few too many glasses of rum and egg nog. Besides, Christmas parties are basically the company's way of reminding you, yet again, that they own you. You're obligated to go, otherwise you're not a "team player." Ugh. Pass the rum and egg nog.
