So, my office threw a Halloween party, and we were encouraged to come dressed in costumes. I wanted to make a good impression since my boss is super into Halloween, and I figured I’d stand out by going all-in. After much deliberation, I decided to dress up as a mummy—classic, right? Except, instead of using a store-bought costume, I thought it’d be “more authentic” to wrap myself up with actual toilet paper.

I spent the whole morning wrapping layer after layer of TP around me. I looked ridiculous but kind of cool, too—or so I thought. I got to the party feeling pretty confident. Things were fine until I got near the snack table, where someone spilled punch, and I didn’t notice until it was too late. My TP started soaking it up, and before I knew it, I was slowly unraveling and leaving soggy, punch-soaked toilet paper everywhere I went.

To make it worse, as I tried to salvage what was left of my costume, I accidentally knocked over a giant pumpkin centerpiece… onto my boss. He got covered in punch, too. I stood there, half-unwrapped, drenched, and horrified, while everyone just kind of stared.

Safe to say, I won’t be winning “Best Costume” this year.

TL;DR: Dressed as a mummy using toilet paper for the office Halloween party. Got soaked in punch, unraveled everywhere, and accidentally knocked a pumpkin onto my boss. Totally ruined the party.
