Question: what's the farting protocol in the office? Current strategies I've tried have been: Letting it out as it comes - This is bad for everyone and causes a noticeable odor and occasionally sound Letting it out in small bursts - the smell is never too bad if it's noticeable at all, however there's a chance you'll misjudge the pressure and let out too much at once Hold it in - This is extremely painful but I have done it when I fear the frequency of releasing gas as often as I'd like to would be extremely disruptive Go to the toilet - I find this strategy borderline useless because by the time you've reached the toilet the situation has somehow resolved itself
