DECEMBER 21--A federal employee was formally reprimanded this month for excessive workplace flatulence, a sanction that was delivered to him in a five-page letter that actually included a log of representative dates and times when he was recorded “releasing the awful and unpleasant odor” in his Baltimore office.
In a December 10 letter accusing him of “conduct unbecoming a federal officer,” the Social Security Administration employee was informed that his “uncontrollable flatulence” had created an “intolerable” and “hostile” environment for coworkers, several of whom have lodged complaints with supervisors.
The worker, a 38-year-old Maryland resident, reportedly submitted evidence that he suffered from “some medical conditions” that, at times, caused him to be unable to work full days. But a SSA manager noted in the reprimand letter that, “nothing that you have submitted has indicated that you would have uncontrollable flatulence. It is my belief that you can control this condition.”

And we wonder why people go on workplace shooting sprees.
Maybe he could join the Army and they could use his gift to gas out the enemies and cause them to surrender.
He forgot to say “Here, pull this.” We humans never cease to amuse.
Federal Worker Takes “Farting Around” To A Whole New Level.
The pic at the link is of he and his “wife” with Pepe Le Pew? Looks like two guys.
“And just what is it you DO do?”
He probably eats menudo.
Otherwise, he was completely normal, married, kids and all.
A true stinking job environment!
It was in Baltimore. How could you notice the smell over the general stink of the City? Lots of mayors and local politicians in jail. Lots of crime. Lots of corruption.
That is the real “stink” of Baltimore, not one guy with bowel problems.
Did he carry around an aerosol to offer a courtesy stray before he fired? ;-)
The condition is probably “meteorism”. Adolph Hitler had the same condition.
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At ‘em boys, Give ‘er the gas! (Give ‘er the gas now!)
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one heckuva roar!
We live in fame or go down in blue flames.
Hey! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Farts!
Says that he’s lactose intolerant but will get gas-X to help out.
I have a child who is lactose intolerant and avoids anything that cause the incredibly foul gas that results.
A steady diet of Fiber One bars will do it
Maybe he should stop going to Taco Bell for lunch.
Sadly, I never worked for a company that would award such an employee performance. We did have a co-worker who was a little smell challenged. The boss allowed an expense account reimbursement for the one who bought all the soap and deodorant ...
I agree.
I wonder if his wife is female.
