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.
