A sensitive issue....

[wurzel]

Sat next to a bloke at works who has a problem with wind. He seems to have no shame whatsoever & as his rear end is pointing in my direction & the air con is blowing my way I seem to be the main benifiiciary of his silent gusts of fermented mung bean.

I'm not quite sure what to do on this one - I'm on the verge of blowing my top and standing up and telling him that I'm sick and fed up of his flatulence in front of the whole room because, quite frankly, it makes me feel f**king sick.

That would probably be a mistake as I've been down that road before: link

Surely there must be a more sensitive way of dealing with this?

Is he a guru with statistical software?

1. Bring up a topic on the subject i.e. bowel cancer, the fact that women don't fart, to find out if he has an medical issue that makes him fart.

2. If he doesn't then tell him to stop farting in private as while he may think it's bloke-like it's actually disgusting.

I'm glad I've got my own office. Means I can let rip with impunity and not suffer other people's foibles.

It's not just your attitude that stinks then?

[PinkPoshRat]

send him a 'net send' with your grievance clearly stated.

You can still send net sends?

My bark is worse than my bite, generally.

That's the thing though, he doesn't do it with any blokey bravado. They are completely inaudible & there's no reaction from him at all. I know it is him though because he's right mext to me and these vile emissions are highly concentrated when they hit my nostrils. But you're right, it ain't funny, it really is f**king disgusting.

I would just have a right go at him, very loudly in front of everyone.

'For fooks sake, that's disgusting, I don't work here for you to sit their tulipting your pants all day, fook off and work somewhere else and get some medication!!!!'
