Office Christmas parties...
Long story short:
I previously won $50 at work for being able to recite our companies mission, while the company as a whole was in the middle of a meeting.
If you have a husband or wife you understand that it's hard to suprise each other, but this was my chance. So I didn't tell my wife I won the $50 because I wanted to suprise her with something nice. I MADE SURE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I WAS KEEPING THIS FROM HER, STATING : DO NOT TELL HER AT OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY. All the other presents she get she's expecting, ya know. We have a shared bank account so she can see when I make a purchase.
Fast Forward
After a great steak at the company Christmas party, the last ones standing decide to gather around a table and shoot the shit. Next thing I know someone says something about "why don't you buy us this with the $50 you won??"
This creates two big problems.
1. I don't lie to my wife.
2. Now I am in a pickle because we are broke. We reallycould've used the $50. Really.
I ruined our night.
Merry Christmas.
