Went to a gay night club in my city for a drag show with a bunch of friends. No, i'm not gay and don't mind if others are. I got to the bar and see 2 co-workers who I knew were gay and they asked what I was doing there, jokingly. I pointed the the other friends I was with and said, "Sorry guys, I'm not on your team." We had a great laugh at work the next day.
It's happened in Strip Clubs and we were able to laugh it off and enjoy the show, but I'm wondering: Does anyone have any funny scary or just plain disturbing tales of meeting the wrong people at a M&G and how did THAT play out. Thanks, "FG"
Just as in your aforementioned strip club scenario, you both have the same thing to hide. I'm sure others have the kind of story you are looking for, but I don't. Sorry to disappoint.
I do have a story of an appointment I had that turned out to be a with a lady I knew from my real life (she did a good job hiding things on her pics) but that is for another day and on another baord.
We all have different circumstances in our lives. The most obvious example is that a married guy has much more to hide than a single guy.
I went to a M&G once and did see someone I knew there. He was not a friend. He was an acquaintance. I had no idea if he was married or what his story was. I hid in a corner for a while and finally decided that was stupid so I went over and just said hi. He kept using my real name in conversation, and it became clear that he wasn't 100% clear on the nature of the party. The host of the party had a friend who came to and my acquaintance was a guest of that friend. No problem came of it, but still, you have to remember that just because 2 people are at an event like this doesn't mean they are in the same boat.
What if you were at a M&G and it turned out that one of the people there (guy or girl) was a friend of your wife? Yes, they might have a secret to protect, but they might value that friendship more than their secret.
That's not to say you should be afraid to attend a M&G. The odds of running into someone you know are ridiculously low, and then the odds that they wouldn't keep the secret are even lower. My experience didn't stop me from going to future events.
But, being ready for anything is always better than being caught off guard.
This is the reason the host should enforce a tight screening policy, including no unverified friends or friends of friends. There are plenty of civilians who love the idea of observing a forbidden experience. Stay home and get your rocks off to "Eyes Wide Shut."
A couple of years ago i arrived at a M&G early and noticed a couple of girls and guys from the hobby gathering at the bar outside our location. I struck up a conversation with two guys who were obviously good friends in their "other" lives. Turns out they worked together for years without knowing they were both in the hobby. They discovered each other at a previous M&G.
If you attend a well screened event, no one can claim they were looking for the Christian Science Reading Room and came in accidentally. We're all there for the same reason, dude. The only speedbump might occur while you're going into the building where the party is and someone catches up to you before you cross into the private party. The ""What are you doing here?" becomes "why don't you join us for drinks/dinner instead?". You'll need a good reason to blow them off.
Never happened with a M&G, but I met a colleague from work at a strip club once. He was very open about the fact that he frequented strip clubs, so he went back to the office and told everyone that he had run into me at the strip club.
I am single, so it was just a minor embarrassment. Still, I didn't appreciate him broadcasting it to the world, and I didn't want the conservative, Mormon office assistant whom I worked with every day thinking (actually knowing) that I'm a sex fiend 
.
A few years later, I had a threesome with two providers and I told two coworkers about it (they also hobbied). The next time I got together with some mutual friends (both male and female), all of them asked me how my threesome was! Again, since I'm single, just an inconvenience though
You didn't say if the other co-workers were married or single. Either way, they have incredibly big mouths. How did you resist ratting them out? (or did you?)

It was embarrassing. They both stop talking about sex stuff in sermons. Told me to keep it chill.
A dude I knew at work was also a hobbyist....met him at several NYC M&G's, plus in Vegas. At work, I was his department's lead accountant. In the hobby, we had each seen each others ATF's multiple times, both of whom thought this was rather amusing, since we were both quality clients for each.
Chances are anyone you meet in the hobby that you know from civvie life will be cool,and not be looking to rat you out to family, employers, or LE. Just be cool, and so will they..
I guess as long I've been at this, a little of the old paranoia will persist. But then again, that is a bit of the the fun, isn't it, as odd as that may seem to be --?--
