Is it acceptable to buy my secret Santa lingerie?

45 comments

1. Yeah if it’s a work thing don’t

2. That’s fucking weird mate.

3. Don’t be a weirdo

4. Are you in an intimate relationship with this person?

   If so, then no, do that in private.

   If not, then hell no, that would be insane.

5. Secret Santa is normally a pretty low budget, so extra specially don’t buy lingerie.

6. Please do it and let us know the outcome.

7. Why would you give a workmate lingerie ya freak

8. Do it,
   Film it,
   Share it for our entertainment.

9. HR peeps hyperventilating reading this.

10. Co-worker in your team? No way should you do this.

    EDIT: WTF are you thinking? It’s even paired so she knows it will be you?

11. That this even had to be asked, is fairly concerning.

    I’m assuming this is bait.

12. Only if you like awkward moments

    And letters from HR

13. Are you in a romantic relationship with them? Or best female friends who regularly share intimate details with each other? Otherwise that would be incredibly creepy.

    I mean even so, for something at work just choose something that’s not going to embarrass them.

14. No, just don’t.

15. That’s just weird!

16. bro just get her (I’m assuming it’s a her) some Christmas related thing and be done with it. Why you gotta make it weird 😂

17. Eewww no. That’s just the creepiest thing to even consider. It doesn’t even matter what gender the gifter or recipient is, this is a work event and not appropriate at all.

    That poor recipient having to put on a brave face at dinner and then be uncomfortable about being sexualised by colleagues whilst at work is unacceptable. Then they would have to weigh up if it was worth bringing this up as unacceptable to HR or management because this could get them labelled as touchy or unable to take a joke.

    Do not do this OP. Even if you think “well I wouldn’t mind” or “it’s not my intention to upset anyone”. It’s a dick move.

18. Surely this is satire

19. No, it’s not acceptable. You will face serious disciplinary action for sexual harassment or a related offence.

20. Please do and then in a few weeks time link your post on r/tifu so we can follow up!

21. Nah that’s too far mate, buy her a horse cock dildo instead.

22. If its cheap lingerie for the most macho guy on your team then absolutely – bet everyone would get a kick out of that. Imo if its for a woman then its pretty much an instant no, would be either hurtful or creepy.

23. Hell no. This can’t be real

24. I think as long as the item of lingerie is crotch less, then I don’t see a problem….

25. This cannot be serious

26. I would say do not do it! Not worth it as it opens you up to some sort of harassment case with HR if it goes the wrong way.

27. Are you talking about eatable underwear right? Considering the Pizza Express part 😂

28. Yeah it’s fine, all in the name of banter. Chubby Dave from analytics would probably love some new crotchless panties. And everyone gets a giggle around the table.

29. Can you not think of anything else to get them?!

30. Please don’t do it.

    I’ve had lingerie in the secret santa twice, and both times were awkward for everyone. Didn’t know where to put my face, and we can all guess what the comments were like once we’d moved on to a bar.

31. There has to be more context to this than you’ve given. Why would that even cross your mind?

32. The hair on the back of you HR Manager’s neck is standing up. They don’t know why but something bad is about to happen.

33. Nope. Not at all. This can’t be real…

    Years ago a new guy at our work got another new starter, a 23 year old female, a bottle opener in the shape of a giant dong. Everyone was opening their gifts one at a time in front of about 30 people she opened that and was mortified. Me and the other guys looked at each other, like who shit the bed kinda thing, but we soon found out who it was. They got rid of him as he was on his probation.

    Anything like this could be legal action waiting to happen.

34. How do you know their size?

35. Office secret Santa? Fuck no, hello HR and a P45

36. Nah, don’t do that.

37. Yes you should absolutely go for it.

    Your work colleagues deserve to know what a fucking creeper they have in their midst.

38. In for a penny in for a pound. Get them that reindeer jumper with the boob hole cut out and a tinsel bauble for their nip. At least it’s crimbo themed.

39. As long as everyone else is gifting dildos ,crack pipes and zombie knifes I can’t see a problem !

40. Absolutely NO

41. Go for it. If people didn’t do shit like this, then how would we know who the weird fuckers are??

    You’ll become a legend in your workplace. Like, in 5 years at the same pizza express they’ll still be saying “remember that dodgy bastard that bought crotchless panties for Warehouse John in the secret santa?! Bet he’s on a register now”

42. A friend of mine was bought an ‘inappropriate’ gift for their secret Santa. Not lingerie but something which, taken out of context, was very upsetting for him. The person who bought it was nearly fired. If you have to ask, don’t do it.

43. You will most likely come off as an absolute creep

44. 1. Is the pizza express in Woking?

    2. Is your secret santa the new young intern?

    3. Is your name Andrew?

    4. Sweat much?

    Nothing else could explain this question
