farting at the office

100
mightylittle™

LIG, I have similar condition at one of the offices...the men's room is perilously close to a landscape arch. office whose principal sits right next to the wall shared with the b-room.

it's so quiet at moments that while sitting there reading dwell, the dwr catalog or some other inane arch. bathroom material i can hear him tying, erasing, etc. i can hear the scratching of his pencil...

i wonder what he hears coming from me?

btw - i saw this hilarious book at a kids store the other day...

First, I can't believe this is a topic.

But ok. Conference room near the restroom... principal's office near the restroom. Eek.

There's only 1 way to deal with that condition. You have to just go in the restroom on your coffee break for the sole purpose of loudly exclaiming things like, "Ohhhhh! I've never seen that before!"

I admit I have run some tests. Basically I am far enough away from everyone and have lots of air infiltration with my big-ass window that if it doesn't make a sound, I go for it. Like I am right.... NOW!

I used to work with a guy that would lean over, raise his legs and rip ass as hard as he could. The first time it happened I blushed for the rest of the day. The worst part is that his wife was a natural nutritionist, so he had an uncommon diet and took a handfull of vitamins everyday. This created the most foul toxic smell.

Sometimes I'd walk to his area to have a work related question and by then time I'd notice the contaminated air, he had noticed me and it was too late for me to turn around.

Let's not even mention how he'd leave the restroom stinky for over half an hour after he visited it.

Sometimes when I'm in the office kitchen alone I fart in the fridge and quickly seal the door. No one knows I fart, and the fridge gets cleaned quite often.

"Yeah, something in there is definitely rotting"

just think of all the people at your office who end up looking at porn on your computer after hours (cause they dont want it showing up in their internet history)

do you think that they are washing their hands between touching themselves and your keyboard??

by the way,

Sharted is the correct term, thank you Philip Seymour Hoffman.

"puddles", is that how you got your name?

Speaking of names: a center for ants = execellent

Thank you Mdler for starting this thread, and thank you all for your insightful contributions. I was sick for two days, so I missed this completely

crop dusting - man, it's been years since i heard that term!

when i worked overseas, the guys and gals bathrooms were adjacent, but the common wall didn't go all the way up. this created some akward giggles after eating lunch at the messe.

I wanted to mention that I actually passed curtclay's story around to half of my office and to some outside friends, in an anonymous "forward" sort of way, and you can hear when they start reading it because they dissolve into fits of laughter.

There is a particularly bitchy french-man in my office... He sat behind me...I waged covert war of backing up and basically farting on him for several months, just to hear him tell me to stop...

he never did.... I think he liked it...

those french are twisted.

my principal farted one day when i first started here. he forgot i was sitting next to him and started laughing. i looked over at him, he turned bright red + looked back at his computer.

nice.

also... when i was in school i used to work at a place i couldnt stand... i used to deliberately walk by a much hated co-worker and do an SBD mid-gait just so she would have to whiff it for the next 20 minutes.

one of the worst is when you let 'er rip about 10' from your car, forgetting that you're about to get into a greenhouse that's been sitting in the summer sun all day... you sit down and KA-POWWWWW!

I think I'm becoming lactose intolerant as I age...

Cheese on sandwich + yogurt + string cheese = bad news lunch. I'm afraid of burning a hole thru my Aeron...
