Man reprimanded for farting in office.

    I wonder if it will soon be a criminal offence in the US to fart in public. :confused:

    A Social Security Administration worker has been cited by his superiors for 'conduct unbecoming a federal officer,' relating to his 'uncontrollable flatulence' in the workplace.

    The Maryland man, 38, was reportedly hit with a five-page reprimand Dec. 10 that included a meticulously-crafted log of specific dates and times when coworkers observed - or overheard - him 'releasing the awful and unpleasant odor' in his Baltimore office.

    The letter's log reportedly cited 17 dates - and 60 times - in which he passed so much gas the resulting miasma created an' intolerable' and 'hostile' workplace environment for those around him. For example, the man’s Sept. 19 output included nine bouts of flatulence, starting at 9:45 a.m. and ending at 4:30 p.m. A trio of incidents preceded on Sept. 11.

    I kind of don't really see the problem with it. I mean; obviously bodily functions are natural, but you'd be reprimanded if you kept pissing all over the toilet floor too.. and making the workplace uncomfortable for other people to be in.

    They should hook him up to a superser and help heat the office!

    Was it a parp-time job?

    I could understand a reprimand at best, if the man shít in the corner and proceeded to wipe his árse with someone clothing. Reprimanding him for a natural bodily function is really taking the píss.

    Less hours than a part time job.

    The best thing they could do is to transfer him to Chicago (windy city).

    If the fcuker had any decency for his fellow workers,he would go for a sh1t rather than holding it in all day.

    Also,he must be living on taco fries.Nothing natural about having a stomach like that.

    Who smelt it, dealt it.

    If some dirty **** was constantly gas blasting next to me in work I report the ****er too tbh. I'm not fond of breathing in other people's gut gas.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 500 ✭✭✭jdee99


    I know a mate whose gf was giving him a yearly special (it was his birthday) under the duvet covers and he let one rip - he still bears the scars to this day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    They are worse for handing him a meticulously crafted log. Hyprocites.

    Highly toxic - may be fatal if inhaled. Inhalation of a single breath at a concentration of 1000 ppm ( 0.1% ) may cause coma. Corrosive when moist. Skin contact may cause burns. There is a rapid loss of sense of smell on exposure to gas concentrations above 150 ppm, and this means that the extent of exposure may be underestimated. Perception threshold ranges from 0.5 ppt to 0.1 ppm. Irritant. Asphyxiant.

    Once got kicked out of a mock exam in school for farting.

    The trick is to swallow a lot of air an hour before and not burp it up. It'll then filter on down through the intestines over the next sixty minutes or so before making a stunning ripper because there's so much gas behind it.
