Have NC for this! No beating about the bush - I get trapped wind at work - all that sitting down don't yer know. The only thing to do is let it go. But I find this sooo embarrassing in the thin walled toilet cubicles at work.

Sometimes I guiltily sneak into the disabled toilet just for the extra sound proofing. That or loud coughing.

How does everyone else manage?

Boogers you speak good sense but despite many years of lurking around in work toilet cubicles (waiting to let rip) I have never smelt or hear anyone elses farting. Are they all more accomplished than me? Do I work in a more anally retneticve environment than you? Or maybe I am just a little paranoid ...

Its a little sad to think that although this is 100% natural, most people would not want to publicise a loud gas release

Maybe the Queen or Thereasa May could advise

DH works in a large office with one male toilet. There are regularly people dancing round outside in the queue. There is one disabled person in 9am-5pm. DH and his colleagues work shifts (shared office space). He can be there at any time, night or day. Should he not use the disabled toilet even when the one user has gone home for the night? Ridiculous.

Use others flushing the loo to disguise noises. Is there a tin of spray you can use for smells?

We only have disabled accessible toilets at work (small office limited number of loos all are disabled accessible). Should I not pee all day? Or is it OK for me to pee if I go across the street and use the non disabled accessible ones at Starbucks?

I go for a lunch walk or a 'cigarette' break outside. I don't smoke just let it loose

I sneak up behind a couple of male students if i need to let one out, then walk away and let them blame each other 😀

I fart with impunity in public loos. It's what they're for.

Better than holding on and then not being able to hold on any longer in a fast lift or on a bouncy bus.

Yes and why is it, I could be sitting in my office alone for hours...not a single trace of civilisation, then as soon as I break wind someone HAS to bloody walk in immediately.

It is a curse. A curse, I tell you!

Samcro · 05/08/2016 11:05

please let this be a wind up(pardon the pun)\

farting is not a disabilty
