Continuing our festive season survival guide, we try to sidestep embarrassing encounters under the office mistletoe

There鈥檚 always someone who sneaks a bit of mistletoe into the office and hangs it over a main thoroughfare in order to catch people out.

You can of course devise detours to facilitate an 鈥渦nkissed journey鈥� but sooner or later you will be in a rush, your barriers will be down and 鈥� bingo! You鈥檒l have to land a smacker on the most aesthetically challenged colleague in the office.

Shut your eyes, count to 10 and get it over with. And may this be a lesson to you never to need the toilet again.
