I'm not sure a fart can even be characterized as "filth." What's filthy about gases? The fact that they passed through an ass? Does each molecule of gas have a little filth molecule hanging onto it?

Actually yes. A fart still is a molecule of shit, but I know we're just cutting cheese here.

Shouldn't you be saving that for meetings?





On a related note; I work with a guy, that when he enters the bathroom stall, it sounds like he is wrestling a gorilla.

There is tons of huffing, grunting, shuffling and heavy breathing.

He is not obese, but, he is fat.
:D

Those can be entertaining.



Or maybe I'm misinterpreting the sounds, and I'm just not enjoying the toilet like I'm supposed to be. o_O

Aw man, a few times I let a quiet one out and someone walks right in afterwards. I try to keep those conversations short...

You know how fat people have more problems maintaining hygiene? Their fatness prevents them from reaching back far enough to wipe properly. Even if you can still reach, when you are overweight, it is more of a struggle and becomes a bit of a workout to get the hand back there.

In an open room, excuse your damned self and go to the restroom or outside to rip them off. A little accidental poot is one thing, but a purposeful sulfur-laden rip needs to be done somewhere else (and cubicle partitions don't do jack to contain it). Glad I don't work around the O.P..

Any output from my anus -- whether it be solid, liquid or gas -- only occurs in the bathroom.

Actually yes. A fart still is a molecule of shit, but I know we're just cutting cheese here.

A fart is just gas created from the breaking down of food by the biome in your intestinal track. Although, I do believe that small fecal particles can get carried along for the ride, but those ought to be stopped by your unmentionables... unless you're going commando! D:

To the people who feel farts are the same thing as shit; when you smell a cheeseburger in the air, does that mean you are consuming it as well?

The body does as the body wishes. The mind may think it is boss, but the reality is that the influence of the mind is very limited.

So, want to or not, you will fart in your cube, even if you try not to. It's nature.

Reminds me of some people I know... They found out that flushing toilets can cause shit particles to become airborne. Now they have to close the lid every time they flush.

When I worked in a cube, I admit that I let off a few stinkers that had to have floated over the wall and into adjacent cubes. The guys around me were asshats, so I didn't care.

Yes they do.

Farts don't drift and wander unless you are crop dusting, standing in front of a fan, or there is a breeze going.

My brother once ripped a fart in a hotel room and that damn thing was like a weather system -- just when you thought it had passed, it circled around and gagged us again. It was almost like it was a spirit or something.

The toilet flush pushes up and out all sorts of crap that been building up in the toilet.

In that case, yes, close the lid,.. even if you were just flushing water.

I once had a friend tell me my farts smell like something crawled up and died in the ass of the thing that crawled up my ass and died.

Yes. A little cheeseburger mixed with a little poo and some poisonous e-cig vapor.

I've had numerous times where I did some cheek sneaks at work and boom all of the sudden people want to come to my cube and start talking to me about work stuff. I swear it attracts people once it's been released.

Must be some sort of love potion #9 in the mix.
