For the love of all that is holy please shut your door if you have gas so bad I can hear your farts and you exclaim "awww" afterwards from 2 offices away!

My DH is always complaining about the same thing! He also says there are some lazy ladies who prefer using the men's room. He thinks it's to keep the scent out of their designated restroom.

I worked in a big 'cube farm' and the man on the other side of a co-worker's cube would pass gas loudly that would waft all over the area. My co-worker began responding when he'd do this with a loud "Was that good for you"? Soon after the man was moved to another cube.

OMG! I worked with someone who would let them rip on a daily basis!! So much so, I complained. It was disgusting. The stench was gross, the stand up and let it rip was gross, the belching added to it...GROSS!!! Is it really that hard to get up and go to the rest room? I understand that sometimes you just gotta let one go....but EVERY DAY? ALL DAY??? How about we check our diet and adjust as necessary? Thankfully I don't have to work with him anymore, he resigned!  |

HAHAHA!!! (I feel bad for you guys, to be sure, but something about this thread has tickled my funny bone immensely-- perhaps it was reading it right after reading the 'failed Yankee Candle scents' thread... lol!!  ) |

I'm curious about the"awww" after.
I may let em rip at home on occasion or alone in the car, but I clench my butt as tight as I can if there are people around

I used to work in an office as a file clerk. We had one executive, think Brooks brother's suit and expensive shoes, that would come into the back office just to pass a gas.
He said it was because he didn't want to upset the clients.
On our receptionist's last day, she left a cork on his desk and a bottle of air freshener. She didn't sign her name.

This brought to mind when a former co-worker (who has become a dear friend) and I came to the realization that eating Fiber One Bars on coffee break was not a good idea, lol.  This same friend's DH belongs to the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard (they wear the hat, cape, dark suit and hold a sword.) He was performing Honor Guard duties at a wake. My friend was seated in the chapel and saw her DH at attention perspiring and looking very distressed. Seems that on the way to the visitation they stopped at a gas station and while she was in the bathroom, unbeknownst to her, he took a Fiber One Bar from her purse and ate it. Poor guy was DYING and could not get out of there fast enough, but also was afraid of what would happen when he DID move! |

I used to work with his sister. She has since been let go from the company in what several of us call "Fired for Farting". I understand that some people have medical conditions but this was way beyond that. I can't even begin to describe the horror without starting to get gaggy. |

I told my DH about this last evening. He sits in a group of cubes as some of you have talked about and he said there is one guy but just lets 'em rip often. The guy will say "Ok, who brought the duck to work" then just laugh hysterically. SERIOUSLY!

I worked beside a man once who was totally disgusting in every way. Gas was only one of his issues. He rarely washed, either himself or his clothes, and in the summer he would wear open-toed sandals with socks. Problem was, it was the same pair of socks every single day for two weeks. Every so often, the manager would order him not to come in the following day unless he had showered and changed his clothes. We used to put a stick-on air freshener under his seat. I haven't thought about that guy in years! Thank you for reminding me - not!  |

Some people are just so gross.
I do my share of farting but never in public or in the office.
Has anyone ever said anything to him about it?

I work in an enclosed room, surrounded by chief pilots and aircraft mechanics... They produce the most disgusting smells (I have grown immune to the sounds after 10 years)!
There is a can of air freshener that floats around and I have no problem tracking it down and using it.

Several years ago I bought some to eat for breakfast on work days. They were very tasty but I was SO miserable at work for a few days until I figured it out. I kept having to run to the bathroom so as not to embarrass myself and by the time I left for home I was wanting to die. They really should come with a warning label! |

I can't believe she/he doesn't shut the door! I hope my youngest daughter isn't like that as an adult. She thinks she is hilarious! And my middle daughter thinks her burps are hilarious. They didn't get it from me or my husband!

I am dying with laughter!! I used to work in a design firm, and my boss would have to walk from his office to my office - maybe 20 ft down a hallwall with high ceilings. Every.Single.Day after lunch he would fart on each step to my office door. Except when he mistimed his fart. Then it would be step-fart-step. You could hear it in all the offices if your door was open. The best part was when he would adjust himself as he got to my door.  He would say that the smell was 'getting' to the boys. Corporate finally suggested that he needed to update his resume and start looking. He got the message and quit a week later. |

I work with fifth graders in an inside classroom with no windows and one door. I would beg for just one colleague with gas! I love the sound of body functions, but I don't appreciate the smells.
I used to work with a very sweet older lady who wore hearing aides. She would walk down the hallway sounding like a horse. Every footstep was a release. One day I couldn't keep from laughing. She had no idea people could hear them. She figured they were silent since she couldn't hear them.
