Awkward! The people who went all out for Halloween at work with inventive costumes including Ali G and Eddie from Stranger Things – only to discover their colleagues hadn’t dressed up
- Workers from the UK, the US and Canada have been left red-faced on Halloween

Some people put more effort into their Halloween celebrations than others, choosing to spend lots of money on their outfits and decorations.
For the most enthusiastic observers of the spooky holiday, their creativity extends to their office attire as they bring their scary outfits to work.
From pumpkins to witches and even the occasional vampire, office workers add a little spice to their 9-5 job by dressing up for the day.
But they don’t always get the tone right – with some Halloween revelers finding themselves in the embarrassing predicament of being the only person dressed up for the occasion.
After a woman in the US dressed up as famed Sacha Baron Cohen character Ali G for a work meeting, only to find her colleagues hadn’t followed suit, she may be comforted to know she’s not alone in her Halloween faux pas, as several others around the world have made the same error.
