Just farted really loud in the office bathroom while people were outside the door. Wanna die.

r/

I am so mortified. I don’t know how I’ll get over this. Guess I just have to act as normal as possible and like it didn’t happen. I’m certain they heard it. It was so loud. They were literally right outside the door. How do I face this coworker???

    Say NOTHING, friend. It’ll pass, like water under a bridge, or the gas that fled your ass previously!

    You have nothing to be ashamed of – you did something that was completely appropriate for the space you were in. Your coworker is the weird one for hanging out outside the bathroom door; play stupid games, win stupid prizes. 😅

    Oh no, it’s terrible that your coworkers will…know that you’re a human being??

    You were in the bathroom, the appropriate place for that to happen. If someone says something, snap back that it’s a normal bodily function and that it’s a bit odd that they are eavesdropping on you while in the bathroom.

    They’re adults. It might be funny for an hour. But they are human, it won’t matter by tomorrow.

    I heard my coworker fart really loudly multiple times in the bathroom once. I acknowledged it but didn’t think much of it. I have also had stomach issues. Natural. Great that he got it out. You too.

    Pull a power move, go out and accuse one of them of farting

    How dare you fart in the restroom? And if people want to stand outside the restroom, they will hear and probably smell stuff too.

    If they joke about it just say, ‘If you find it so funny, I can let one go at your desk’ and later through the day walk by their work station say their name and make a face like you’re trying to push one out.

    Or own it.. walk outside, raise your hands and proudly claim “yep. That’s exactly what you think it was.” Take a bow and return to your desk.

    If you didn’t fart you’d end up blowing up like a balloon and popping. Cows do actually blow up because of this. Vets have to puncture their stomach to let the air out. Everyone farts.

    Everyone farts, you can even make a joke out of it if anyone says anything.

    You’re good, it’s not a big deal!

    You should be. You were their first.

    Not just that job, but any job. Probably personal lives too.

    Farting? On the shitter? At work? What’s your problem.

    Do I have to put the slash s?

    I once had this unfortunate moment. I just said “I know, I’m sorry, but I’ve been holding that in for so long and the bathrooms are being used.”

    You did what you were supposed to do, fart in the bathroom and not in the office. Everyone farts multiple times a day, it’s a natural bodily action. Nothing to be ashamed of.

    Just say nothing and act normal.

    Everyone who may have heard you also farts. It doesn’t matter

  20. danielswatermelon Avatar

    that’s what the bathroom is for, you were in the perfect spot to do that. We all fart and we all have bodies. I know it’s “kind of gross” or whatever but it’s normal.

    we absolutely need to make this more socially acceptable as a society. like how is it 2025 and we haven’t made any progress on this simple issue? im beyond grateful to be born in a time where we have become so accepting of so many different kinds of people and ways of life but we should also let people blow trumpet in the bathroom without the fear of ridicule. i should be able to take a spontaneous step outside at work to secretly let one rip real quick, and then immediately come back inside without being questioned as to why i just did that.

    Are you NOW writing this on the toilet?

    Pretend it never happened. They literally don’t care.

    I know exactly how you feel and there was nothing more terrifying to me than a shameful public bathroom poop and then…I got gallstones. All that went out the window, that blacking out level of pain makes you give no fucks about what people might be thinking. Ever since then I’ve just stopped caring. My stomach comfort is way more important to me than people knowing I did bathroom things in the bathroom.

    I once held in a fact all the way through a meeting, made it to the loo, sat down in a cubicle, making sure no one else in the toilets and let rip at THE EXACT MOMENT someone walked through the door.

    They paused, turned around, and left.

    Be proud and own it. Walk out confidently and comment on how much better you feel now.

    If it makes you feel better I was once on a call and forgot I had my camera on because I was on a different tab, proceeded to pick my nose because I felt a huge booger. I’m sure most people saw.

    You were in the bathroom, besides pee pee and poo poo what else would you be doing? Farts happen.

    No one told you Bathroom farts don’t count? If not there, where? Those people fart too. Most people have an embarrassing gassy story. I farted in an my 8th grade classroom when the teacher told us we could have free time/ rest till the bell rang. I fell asleep and my fart woke me up along with everyone laughing. I had to pretend I was still sleeping until the bell rang at which time I made a bee line to the door. Glad it was a Friday.

    It’s ok, I’m sure they fart in bathrooms too. Thats part of the function of a bathroom.

    We don’t talk about what happens in the bathroom, sounds or otherwise. Just walk out like you own the place.

    Because it’s just a bodily function in a bathroom.
