'Flatulent' Miss Claims £1m
SkyNews (U.K.) ^ | 3/22/06 | Staff

Posted on 03/22/2006 9:01:51 AM PST by Millee

A female teacher is claiming £1m in damages after she was forced to sit in a chair that made flatulent sounds.

Sue Storer, 48, told an industrial tribunal she was constantly apologising to children, parents and teachers about the rude noises which emanated from her chair every time she moved.

But the school refused to replace the chair, she claimed.

A year later two male deputy heads got new executive chairs.

"It was very embarrassing to sit on," she told the tribunal.

"I asked for a chair that didn't make these very embarrassing farting sounds."

The divorcee claims the the chair problem was just one example of sexist behaviour that undermined her position at Bedminster Down secondary school in Bristol.

She quit her £48,000 a year job last year and is claiming constructive dismissal and sex discrimination.

Sounds as if she didn't quite store enough, although she did sue.

Gross. We don't have it in my ped's office, thank goodness. I complained in a B&N bookstore about that gas-passing dog book and how offensive that was. The pencil neck twerp said it was selling a lot of copies as if that makes it okay to market crap to kids.

We blame the Dread Boston Salty, whose secret identity is as the Methane Marauder.

Note: this only works if Salty is in the room with you. If he's outside and a noise occurs, it's back to blaming the barking spider.
