You sometimes forget that the people you work with have very different lives outside of work. And there's nothing like a hilarious experience to give you a reminder.
A guy that I work with was partying with his wife and some other friends in an area called Chain O' Lakes not far from where I live and work. If you're not from the Chicago area, it's a large lake resort area where a whole bunch of different lakes link together through various waterways. It gets extremely crowded on the weekends and big groups of boats tie up with each other to enjoy the sun, water and of course have some drinks.
This weekend they had a big Mardi Gras celebration complete with Hurricanes, scantily clad women, and of course beads. I'm betting you are starting to see where this one is going. As things progressed and the drinking started to takes it's effect, many women started to feel that it was perfectly acceptable to wear pasties in place of their bikini tops. My co-worker certainly didn't mind the added scenery.
At one point he and his wife were standing in waist deep water by their boat drinking some beers and having a good time when a woman with only pasties on for a bathing suit top comes up and asks if his name is ********. He replies that it is. She then tells him that he needs to come over to her boat and see something. While his wife is not too happy about this situation, he decides to go with her anyway. When they get over to her boat there is another woman there in the same state of undress leaning over the side. While he doesn't recognize her, she instantly says hi and calls him by name. A second later, his jaw drops open and his eyes bug out of his head when he realizes it is a woman that works in our office who you completely would not expect to be there especially in thong, no top and stickers on her nipples. He said that he made a quick escape back to the safety of their boat to avoid any further embarrassment.
It again goes to show that things are never as they seem.
Note: If you know me, please consider this as a "Code of the Road" story. I will not divulge the names so don't ask.

not good to mix alcohol and work. actually, it's plain stupid.
but makes a dang funny story!
I was out with a few girlfriends in Hoboken (NJ) and it was about 3 am. We had just left a bar and were singing "Mandy" by Barry Manilow as loud as possible (why? I do not know). Some guy passed us and is going "True Jersey Girl?" over and over and looking at me, and I am just singing away, I have no clue who he is so I am ignoring him. Then I hear him say, I work with that girl. Ah, yes, drunken singing to a co-worker. Lovely.
