Employee Issued 5 Page Reprimand for Farting at Work
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/22/federal-employee-issues-reprimand-flatulence_n_2352022.html?utm_hp_ref=businessA 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.

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

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.

(39,405 posts)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.

I've heard we smell like butter.

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.
