coffee farts

Our company spans across three floors in our building. My work area is located on the middle floor and has a meager kitchen area, so I go downstairs to the big kitchen to fix my lunch.

While cleaning out my coffee mug to prepare it for my Cup o' Soup, an older gentleman walked in said "hello." Since I am still relatively new to the company and since there are a ton of consultants that I've never met before, its quite common to see strangers around the office.

As I continued to prepare my lunch, the man stood at a nearby table, stared quietly out the window and sipped his coffee.

Since it was "Cup o' Soup Day," I filled my mug with the familiar yellow Cream of Chicken powder and proceeded to the water cooler to fill my mug with hot water. The water cooler was situated right next to the table where the man was standing.

As you are all just as familiar with water coolers, you know that I had to lean down to access the hot water tab. As I bend to get the water, I am bombarded with the worst coffee fart smell ever.

I didn't know what to do. Should I gasp in horror for fresh air (as I normally do with Chris in the most dramatic way)? Do I give him a dirty look? Do I point out how nasty his fart was? COME ON who farts in a kitchen anyways?

My face was in a fart cloud. It literally feels dirty. Gross.

I guess that's karma for my Burger King fart at Sabey
