Can you get away with dropping ass around your fellow coworkers?
Or is your work situation that where you either shouldn’t or couldn’t get away with it.
I can drop in front of the immediate group of guys and they will casually accept it knowing that the favor will be returned and payback is usually a bitch. But once I leave the comfy confines of my fellow male coworker and wander out into the realm of the cubicle world,-- all bets are off.
I’ll resort to a keen sense of my surroundings and a time-release activated sphincter control sensory feedback mechanism to allow adequate release of gas without drawing attention to myself.
It’s just another of those Mars/Venus things. Men tend to be fart-embracing, women tend to be fart-denying.
To answer the OP, I’m within earshot of mixed company and the big Kahuna, so I must keep them under within-earshot decibel levels. However, I have my own cubicle with few visitors, so can fart with a fair amount of impunity, if there is such a thing.
But this is my last day at this office; I’m taking another position within the company where things might change. I’ll be the new guy, so I shan’t fart with impunity until I’m more familiar with the um, atmosphere.
Considering I do not suffer from flatulence, the very idea of ‘"lettin’ 'er rip" in front of my colleagues is simply beyond comprehension.
Honestly. Were you raised in a barn? Do you spit loogies on the floor too? Do you scratch your testicles in public?
When my husband was in the Navy, the submariners used to rate each other’s “emissions” based on bouquet, loudness, and lingering effect. Ivylad’s claim to fame is that he managed to clear the sonar shack one day.
I don’t deny my farts, anymore anyway. I’m human, it happens. I just don’t revel in them, as though it were some sort of symphony. I don’t find fart jokes particularly funny, the one exception perhaps being the Blazing Saddles skit.
I don’t even fart in front of my husband! It simply isn’t done! (He farts enough for everyone). I wouldn’t EVER fart in front of a co-worker. No fuckin’ way.
Uncommon Sense, none of your links are from Dopers. They are all from other, less refined boards. I maintain that we Lady Dopers do not have “emissions.”
I have to agree. I just don’t do that in front of my husband nor at work. I don’t burp or drop ass in front of him nor do I do that at work. If I’ve really got to burp and it’s unavoidable, I’m as discreet as possible and don’t make a show about it.
My husband has little compunction about getting into burping contests with the eldest Silverjunior, but he does not drop ass in front of any of us. I guess it’s just a thing about the Silver family. Not including the juniors - they will drop butt bombs with the utmost pride. They sometimes even fall over each other trying to claim responsibility for the latest and greatest fart. :rolleyes:
Can you fart in front of your co-workers with impunity?
Truthfully, I don’t know. If they realize who is to blame, they’re not saying anything about it. However, if you rewrite the question as “Do you fart in front of your co-workers without acknowledgement or compunction?”, then the answer is “yes”.
Oh, you should definitely fart in front of the cats. In fact, the best time to let one rip is while you’ve got a cat purring in your lap. You’ll know it was a quality effort if the cat wrinkles up its nose, then gets up and starts scratching like it was in a sandbox.
