Stop all food consumption as you start reading this entry. This entry is gonna be about, air discharge from thy bum. Farts.
I headed for lunch with 3 of my colleagues this afternoon. We reached the cafeteria we decided upon along the way there. The stall we wanted to eat at was closed & while we were contemplating if we should proceed to another foodcourt, one of my colleague (A) exclaimed, while pinching her nose, "Eeee...who the hell farted?" Myself & another colleague (B) said it wasn't us, and immediately, the third colleague (C) I was with, admitted he was the one. Colleague A looked rather pissed & put off. She can't be blamed coz she's utterly traumatised by another common colleague of ours who farts non-stop. And she's just seated next to the fart-machine.
Anyway, my point is, why did she have to embarrass that poor chap like that? If it was me that detected fart smells, I would just have kept my mouth shut at such a situation. You should have seen the crowd at the cafeteria & hear the volume she was at. Or perhaps, she could have made her statement in a different manner. Like saying, "Eh! Someone farted!" instead of sounding so instigative. It would have been less embarrassing for the farter. It's something incontrollable afterall. Not in anyway saying A is wrong but I think it can be done alittle more tactfully.
If you are A, will you do the same thing? Just some farts for thought....
P/S: This post is dedicated to colleague C who had unabashedly admit he was the one that farted. Such gentlemanly traits are hard to come by these days....where are all the good men???!! >_<
