i work in a control room.it's probably only 16' by 20'. i'm often alone, but could have the other operator hanging out or guys from another dept. if i'm around other people, and i know my insides are about to let loose the green fart of death strong enough to kill all around, i'll sneek out a sec and discreetly let the killer gas loose where noone else is and then head back in.
i sometimes work with one guy, you know the type, that takes great pride in sharing his nasty fetid farts with all around. won't say a word, won't do it somewhere else, just sits there and practically shits himself. we were at turnover this morning and he drove three of us right out of the room. he takes pride in announcing ownership of the fart.he has no consideration of those around him and thinks it funny.
i realize it's a natural bodilly function, but you can't tell me you don't know it's coming on and "can't make it" to a better area.
i'd like to think that none of you have to deal with that shit, but i know there are many more like him out there.
just another example of common curtesy and manners going the way of the dodo bird.

You know, they make stink bombs that will actually make you almost pass out. Next time you leave the room and he's there alone, drop one of those babies in there and leave.

Fart fire with fire.

Get your co-workers to load up on the jalipenos and retaliate in kind.

If that doesn't work, IM me. I'll find you a deal on Louisville Sluggers.

Now, I don't want you to ABUSE this fine tool. The purpose of it is only to get his attention. I used to use this on a donkey to get his attention. I'd tell the donkey what to do, and if he didn't, I'd whop him one between the ears.

Seems donkies have a hearing problem. If you whop en one between the ears, it forces the wax out of their ears and they can hear again.

IMHO, your co-worker is being donkey-ish.
I don't think he has a manner problem as much as he does with a hearing empairment problem.

Ask the guy that I used to work with, who thought it was funny to blow "Corn Nut" burps in people's faces. You can still see where the stitches were in his upper lip, but my knuckles healed just fine.

The foreman on my crew is just like that. I usually drive, and he is in the back seat. He just blasts away with the S.B.D's!!! I really dislike it, especially in heavy traffic!! That big bucket truck is hard enough to get around in without the "Death Fog" hangin' round!!

I like the stink bomb idea....might have to work on that one!!

Farts stink so the deaf can enjoy them too.

I just get a can of Lysol and very liberally spray the offender and surrounding area. After doing it a couple of times and basically gagging the guy on Lysol, he should get the hint.

Sounds like a hostile work environment. Even though some of the tin-foil hat boys around here might not agree, this might be one time you want HR sticking their nose in where you work. You literally don'thave to put up with that crap.

I worked for a guy who thought it was funny to fart in peoples faces when they were sitting down.

The first (and only) time he did that to me I knocked his ass to the ground and had my chair in the kill position. He whined like a little bitch so I dropped the chair.
That got me a "talking to" by the OIC.

About two weeks later he walked up to a new E-2 female who was sitting in my chair and ripped a nasty one in her face.
She went straight to the OIC, told him what happened and he was retirede (fired) that afternoon.
Stupid fuck was a WG-9 with less than 3 years to full retirement.

Like it was posted, people will do what they can get away with.

This is funny because I had drill this weekend past and out in the "Line Shack" we all sit around waiting for flights to come in etc. an this one kid jus smelled like raw sewage! It was so bad we could only laugh. The tower called and when we replied they could hear us all gagging and asked what the problem was(jokingly). We replied that we were "gassesd" and the yellow shirts would be out shortly. They knew what was up and laughed with us.

I believe that in MO it's a misdemenor to fart in public.

Yet again, the pussification of America.

Tell him, in no uncertain terms, that this nonsense is unnaceptable, disgusting, and you consider it harrassment. Tell him if he doesn't cut it out, you'll report him to his (your?) superior.

Why is it that nobody can just come out & talk to people anymore?

I'm lucky, my shit don't stink!

Fill a squirt gun with "DOE IN HEAT" estrus scent...or raccoon urine. Either of which is just plain foul smelling stuff. Next time he rips one, spin around and soak him with the squirt gun.
Repeat as needed until the desired outcome occures.

My boss will have these "old man messed up bowels I ate road kill for breakfast" farts, and fart in his office all day. I dread it when he calls me in to discuss something, because all I can do is think about is how sick I am about to get as I sit there and smell his insides....I am getting queezy thinking about it now. It is the silent joke of the office. The secretary even talked to him about getting an air purification system..."cuz our office makes her sneeze".

Good tactic, but I'd recommend some cheap (but strong) perfume in place of Lysol. Since he apparently likes stinking up the joint, see how he likes smelling like a cheap whore for the rest of the day. A little negative reinforcement can go a long way.

At work we all try to out do each other. And working inside a small airplane it can get very bad.
