Our department was 40 people large. Earlier in the day, we held a group lunch featuring Mexican food to celebrate some noxious occasion. The smarter of the bunch avoided the beans for obvious reasons, but a few partook.
Lo and behold, during our group meeting 2 hours later, we are in the executive conference room listening quietly to the Vice President of our department speak, when out of the blue, as in a badly written sitcom what do we hear?
Yeah. A fart. Oh, but this wasn't just an innocent poot that whispered out to be heard by a mere few, but a big, loud and WET nasty fart.
Sad thing about it is that everyone knew who did it because he turned just about as red as a stop sign. No one said anything, and the culprit didn't make any excuses, nor did he excuse himself. He simply put his head down like he was looking at his laptop wishing the stench and embarrassment away, I guess.
He was so embarrassed and all embarrassed for him. Well, except for me and a couple other admins -- we were plain disgusted. I opened a nearby window. I mean, it was refried beans the guy ate!
Everyone near him turned their chairs, noses pointing away from the offender, and the meeting continued on. When the meeting was adjourned Smelly Kelly was the first person to hightail his way out of the boardroom. Everyone else burst out laughing.
Haven't seen him since.

OMG if I had a dime for everytime this obnoxious man who I work with farts I would be rich. But at least there's a partition separating us! But i hear them tho. YUCK
Bwahahahahahaha! Nasty sob. Dang I mean he could have at least said excuse me! I usually let mine rip early in the mornings before everyone gets in. As far as luncheons.....I don't eat anything that I know will give me the bubblies b/c I have a thing about using public bathrooms.
Sometimes it is better to excuse yourself from a meeting rather than trying to hold that it in - knowing eventually you will lose control. But then again, refried beans… ehhh…he probably had zero reaction time!
LOL @Diligentelman! You're probably right!
