from the Daily Mail …
A bullied office worker has been awarded £5,000 after her boss raised his right buttock from his chair and broke wind in her direction.
Humiliated mother-of-three Theresa Bailey, 43, was the only woman on a sales team where “laddish” behaviour made her life a misery, and continued despite complains to senior managers.
Flatulence is now considered bullying? Dang… 8th grade boys around the world are now bullies. Who’d a thunk it?
I wonder if this also applies to the hand-under-the armpit fake flatulence?
Not to mention the effect all this flatulence has on global warming.
I might understand this if Ms. Bailey were a single woman. But, c’mon. How many women who have been married more than 2 or 3 days, are surprised about the sheer volume of flatulence coming from their husband? Humiliated, even! Give me a break. It’s a true sign of a happy marriage when the wife feels comfortable enough to break wind at home in the presence of her spouse. Now that’s women’s liberation that I can understand.
