A Social Security Administration employee was formally reprimanded earlier this month for for excessive workplace flatulence, according to a Dec. 10 letter obtained by The Smoking Gun.

The 38-year-old, who worked out of a Baltimore office, was hit with a five-page letter detailing the dates and times of his noxious offenses. The letter informed the worker that his “uncontrollable flatulence” created an “intolerable” and “hostile” environment for coworkers -- many of which had lodged complaints.

also other strange reasons for warning and fireings..in this article...


something to think about among our current glum news...interesting

1. I wonder how they knew he was the culprit?

And I also wonder about others who let out the "silent but deadly" ones that cannot be traced!

HOWEVER--disturbing in light of the recent reductions in rights of workers. . .

7. Right? Usually, whoever smelt it...

...dealt it.

[Cooley Hurd]

2. Silent, but repremandable...

20. Arn't farts...kinda natural??? nothing new I might add......

[TwilightGardener]

3. My husband has to sit next to a coworker who deliberately

farts and then giggles like a 12 year old about it. He claims he's lactose intolerant.

4. ...one of the joys of working from home!

14. does it have a sound barrier too? Hearing before seeing is like a shark fin in the water

the anticipation is probably worse than the actual bite.

6. "Warning!!! Fart Range!!! No Open Flames!!!" n/t

8. Dear Supervisor: He who smelt it dealt it

9. Anyone else see the irony in this being from "The Smoking Gun"? n/t

[LeftofObama]

10. OMG!!

I wanna work there! I have always thought farts were hilarious, especially when they slip out unintentionally. They still make me laugh like a school kid.

[Laffy Kat]

22. Are you a guy?

What is it with guys and farts? I guess they CAN be funny under certain circumstances but... really?

[jsr]

11. This is a keeper

LOL

12. Get him that fart pad

And stifle that laughter. I have a weak stomach. I don't think I could take from a coworker what I have dealt with from doing direct patient care, on patients. I don't know why but it is different.

We had a smelly group working down in our industrial laundry. They were eastern European refugees. It is hot in the laundry and they did not use deodorant. When they would bring the clothing racks up to the floor, the hallways would reek of BO. It lingered. And OMG it was strong and wretch inducing.

15. I have heard that this is why Americans are so obsessed with bathing:

all our different ethnicities eat different diets, and so our BO stands out to each other more.

Once an individual or group starts eating our typical American crap, they smell like us so we don't notice as much.

On a similar note, I worked with a bunch of college friends in a cannery in Alaska one summer, and we all bathed once a week (at most) and ate drank and pretty much bathed in salmon. A friend came up to visit us for a few days and said he almost fainted from our BO, but we all smelled fine to each other.

17. This is gross

But having done the amount of hands on custodial care, I've done, it was easier if you ate the same breakfast and lunch they did. So the smells were similar. Yes, gross.


I've heard we smell like butter.

18. I would have expected lard

[libodem]

19. true

Animal fat.

13. A five-page reprimand is just what's needed ...

... to use as a fan, in certain situations.

Since the worker was an employee of the Social Security Administration, I'm sure he (or she) can get "uncontollable flatulence" recognized as a disability worthy of a pension.

16. this would make a great DRAGNET skit:
