Farting in the workplace - rights vs responsibilities

[Extra Stout]

Which is more important, the right of workers to fart in the workplace, or the rights of other workers to stench-free air in their workplace?

Put another way, is your right to fart in the workplace more important than your responsibility not to impose that stench upon your colleagues?

[midgetonadonkey]

I fart when I need to fart. Fuck anyone else.

[Steve Irwin]

youre an idiot if you don't know how to make just one of the same.

Why are you taking the piss? I put up the poll because I really want to know what Americans think. I mean, in Australia it's not even an issue - people understand that passive smoking causes cancer, and that it can trigger asthma attacks, so smokers go outside to smoke. It's a national law, and people have adjusted to it with minimal upset.

Australians sound like a bunch of pussies to me.

Yeah, because only pussies make rational decisions.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Well, I feel like one has a responsibility to himself as well.

The health effects of ripping are well documented and can not be overlooked.

Yes, because farts and smoking are consistent analogies.

One is a NECESSARY body function to accommodate for air in the intestinal tract, and is inconsistent and released in extremely small quantities of gas. The other is a 99% voluntary addiction which is completely controllable and is produced in extremely large quantities per cigarette.

Your basis of comparison is absolutely warped and as inaccurate as it could possibly get. Everyone farts because it's a bodily function. Many people will NEVER smoke, because it's an VOLUNTARY ADDICTION. If you can't clearly see the difference, perhaps you shouldn't post on the subject?

What exactly is the difference between having to smell a fart and getting cancer? They both suck.

I work with three men that think it's cute and funny to fart in the office. Luckily, I grew up with four brothers who thought it was cute and funny to pin me down on the floor, sit on my face and let one rip. So, I deal.

[Sunshine]

The only time I compare farts to smoking is if someone asks if I mind if they smoke. My reply is "mind if I fart?"

And if you're going to fart in the workplace, do it right. Don't limit it to the confines of your office or workspace. When you feel a really bad one coming on, take the opportunity to meander through your office saying "hi" to your co-workers as you crop dust the office.

[Extra Stout]

It really takes a lot to impregnate the carpeting and walls with fart odor the way you can with smoking, but with enough effort it can be done.

Does your co-worker fart a lot?

Not the one I posted about, but another one does.

And when you saw me upstairs yesterday, I was crop-dusting. :lol

[MrChug]

I should be allowed to cleanse my colon any place I please. If you see me in the office and I hand you a gas mask, affix it immediately. At least I'll do THAT for you...

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Women aren't supposed to fart got damnit!! :pctoss



They're just supposed to be little dolls made of china for me to look at and play with. They are to look hot...talk naughty to me...and nothing foul is allowed to be excreted from any orifice...ever.


I'm owed at least that much from you ladies...get with the program! :pctoss

[PakiDan]

I Just Farted.

Can we get a poll on nose-picking in the workplace -- rights vs. responsibilities, too?

I have no idea how I got "pole smoking in the workplace" out of that, but that's what I read at first glance. :drunk

Probably just wishful thinking; we all know "pole smoking" is very acceptable in the workplace! :lol

While we are on the subject, what doctor would i go to figure out why i have chronic gas? My girlfriend is about to leave me.... So who is that fart doctor?

[MrChug]

Why is it that guys are so intrigued and deleriously drawn to "toilet humor". I farted and laughed so hard at the same time, I had to check myself reading these.

[Sapphire]

Ooops, I just let one fly! Mine do not smell, though.

I grew up with 3 brothers, have been married twice (both times to men), and I have 2 sons. I've been surrounded by, no, engulfed in testosterone, all my life. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" has been my motto since the age of 3.

Would you like to hear me burp the alphabet, or perhaps light a fart on fire?

This thread is not good for my libido.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Please no pics.

Wow, if you're looking to Spurstalk for libido help...........why don't you try a doctor instead? Maybe he will help explain to you that yes, women fart. :lol

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Especially of the "scratch and sniff" variety.

Whatever. Next lie to come out of your mouth is that women go "poo-poo" also.








Unacceptable.

Trust me, women are nasty little beings. That's why I hang out with dudes.

In the interest of your sex life, I'll stop there.

I hope Saphire (and everyone else for that matter) knows my sarcasm. My sense of humor sometimes needs to be indentified properly I suppose. So know I'm just kidding around most of the time (even though humor is 90% based in truth).




I grew up in an old southern family where women never discussed "farting". In fact the "F" word isn't actually used in my home today....I'm still uncomfortable with a woman saying "fart".

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going out to have a hot tea on the terrace and watch Jeb preparing the fields for the spring planting. :tu

That explains a lot. Mrs. Chopper and I need to talk.

In honor of the Chopster, I will now say that I flatuated instead.

It sounds more klassy.

You're officially back in my "circle of trust". :tu

[Sapphire]

And yes, I need to micturate rather than "go pee", and I need to "drop the kids off at the pool" rather than "poop."

And I am not a big farting cow. So :flipoff

:lol

[Ronaldo McDonald]

i farted at work a couple months back. nobody was supposed to smell it, but of course nothing ever goes as planned for me and that wasn't the case. the reaction i saw from the person who smelled it is the kind of reaction i would expect to see from someone who just breathed in something toxic.

[Hemotivo]

:lol

[mrsmaalox]

Anyone who farts around me better expect one great big projectile vomit in return!:vomit:

You must puke all day! People are constantly emitting gas. And if you live with any males, especially any under the age of 13, you are going to look bulimic.

[ALVAREZ6]

right to fart.

[Ginofan]

I think it depends on your type of work. If you've got a laid back friendly and close knit type of work-family...I say go for it.

But if you work with a bunch of snippity prim and proper people...better to take it to the bathroom or take a stroll outside for a bit.

[mrsmaalox]

Okay I'll change that: If I am aware of anyone farting in my presence...And yes I have 3 males in my household and they are well aware of the consequences of farting anywhere in our home but in the bathroom with the door closed. Sorry but it's the only thing I'm "anal" about! lol

[MrChug]

It's odd, but this type of talk is making my stomach tighten. May I release please? I'm at Crabby Jack's with some friends. We're switching between Fantasy Football/Basketball/and farting while they take a bite...

[atxrocker]

i still get turned off when girls fart. it's just not right.

[Kriz-Maxima]

We are not dolls, fart we must. Health first.

[phyzik]

I fart all the time at work... but its OK. I sit next to an obscenely fat lady that eats Hungry Man for lunch and says she's on a diet.... I just blame them on her.
