Can you get sacked for farting

stufflol · 17 Dec 2012 at 22:26

Hey guys , I am working out hard and taking some supplements, these are causing me to fart quite a bit , there is no way I can make it out of the office before I fart... and I think my boss is getting angry about it

. Can I be sacked for farting?

Edit: I wont change my supplements as I am over satisfied with the results... and I dont mean the farting..

fart in his face, see if you get a warning

You will not get sacked for farting, but you could get a *******ing on hygeine grounds.

Why are you unable to go outside to fart? Have you got poor sphincter control or something?

i'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say yes.

Can't you just make them silent? Kind of disgusting to be honest.

Have some self-respect!

Can you not hold them in?

Pull your bum cheeks apart slightly to eliminate the sound. You can blame silent ones on other people.

EDIT: You obviously don't have a poker face!

At least amuse a few fellow co-workers and light those bad boys in the office. Hell, if I was your boss I would have promoted you by now.

My friend used to take the protein shake stuff.
The farts were silent but so bad that people would clear the room.
The OP either needs to stop taking the supplements, or hold on until he is outside, or ask for a desk nearer to the door as he smells like a sewer.

If I need to fart I tend to fart deeply into the foam in the seat so that it absorbs the smell and diffuses it over time. It also masks the noise.

Hahahahahaha. Sorry, thread title made me laugh

I would ring ACAS and ask them.

And record the call if possible.

Just get that underwear which stops your farts from smelling.

Wouldn't it just be like a nappy and trap the hot wet gas in there? He would end up with scrotrot!

If you get any hassle, just say it's an ongoing medical condition and you'd rather not talk about it. Problem solved.

You can definitely get dismissed for farting, I actually used to work with a guy who got sacked for it after ignoring the warnings he had, so yeah. But they obviously have to go about it the right way with written warnings etc. If you've not been there for 2 Years Full-Time then they can pretty much just kick you out without any warnings.

The employer can ask for a note from the Doctor as proof.

Could you keep a straight face when asking the Doctor for a note for uncontrollable wet farts?
