Never fart in the quiet carriage with your headphones on. I let rip in first class once only to then see the poor chap sitting in the row behind me now almost reduced to tears.Comment

My thanks to the congregation for getting into the spirit of things and most particularly to the person who placed the 'hot air' tag on the thread. I shall shortly be dining at my lodgings and I notice the landlady is boiling some sprouts!And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

The best way to get rid of a pesky fart is to drop your guts and then step sideways quickly. You are then safe to walk forward without it following you.
You can of course spread it around so all can enjoy. The video below demonstrates a number of effective ways of doing this and the science of a fart following you. Very interesting.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI had some cabbage at lunch and that always has the same effect; it makes me fart. Now then, as I see it there are various risks associated with farting in the workplace. I have identified some of these risks and mitigations;
1. despite best efforts to keep the fart silent, it blasts out like a trombone announcing to all and sundry that one has farted. Mitigation; practice the technique of holding and gently releasing
2. the smell is first detected by those sitting nearby who then point at you. Mitigation; (i)
walk around somewhere else practising above technique or (ii) wait until the others have gone
3a. wet fart or shart. Mitigation; go to the bog on time and have a 20 quid dump
4. fart so toxic you can't even sit in it yourself. Mitigation; see 2 (ii)
Have I missed any risks and mitigations?
3b - The Turtles Head - Slightly worse that a wet fart as it leaves physical evidence. Not necessarily noticeable in the office but difficult to justify to MrsMTT why there is a log in your kecks. Mitigation possibly as per 3a
3c - The Unexpected Terrible Evacuation. I think EO posted about such a situation a while ago.
Obviously as a contractor the risk/reward of remaining in the office and invoicing having tuliped yourself vs losing a days pay need to be carefully balanced.Comment

Or go to the bogs for a piss and let rip as you do so. Especially effective if the traps are occupied but no one else is present."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
