My worst was my first job out of college in customer service (pre-outsourcing) at a large insurance firm - picture 200 or so recent college graduates with a tiny bit of disposable income in their hands now living in Boston. One year, the company tried to save money by holding the party on a Thursday night instead of a Friday night. It did not save any money or cut down on the drinking. Instead, I got to watch my cube mate take a call, put the person on hold, puke into the trashcan under his desk, and continue the call. He was not the only one. That was on top of the 'who hooked-up with who stories,' including a recent college graduate, age 22, who went to bed with my boss's, boss's, boss, age 50+ who was married with kids her age.
The worst story I head from from a relative who used to work in the sub-prime mortgage industry in CT. The year before everything went down the tank, a recent college graduate decided to giver my relative's boss a faux strip-tease and not so faux lap-dance while his wife was standing next to him. Needless to say, her New Year's resolution was to find a new job.

Still, it was likely payback for an early family gathering when I was 7 or so when a childless Aunt bought the five of us cousin (all boys between 8 and 4) these plastic fireman's helmets with flashing strobe lights and fire fighting sound effects. If I was an adult at that event, I would have drunk myself into a stupor or gone Scarface on everyone.
