One of the worst aspects of working tech support is when you need to work on a users PC and they fart as they get up from their seat. GAG.

Seriously, I just spent 10 minutes installing and configuring software for this dude and I actually checked the bottom of my shoes *just to make sure* it wasn't me. That stench lingered just like the tapestry of profanity Ralphie's father wove that is still hovering somewhere over Lake Michigan. Foul.

Gross.

Maybe I need to start carrying charcoal filter suppositories in my toolkit, I can hand them out as complimentaries.

Ugh.

They are your friends.

Oh, I wish those were an option. I pushed for VNC around here a few years ago and even had a beta test group set up, but got knocked down when I asked to roll it out for realz. It's the political climate around here.

Visit the naysayers and fart on them.

Smokers are almost as bad, especially when they have just come back from their smoking break.

At least flatulence doesn't cause lung cancer.

...or aggravate asthma. :/ I love it when I'm flipping through stuff at the used bookshop and I open a book that once belonged to a smoker. Albuterol stat!

I'd just take a brass church censer along, fill it full of burning charcoal, frankincense, myrrh, and a bit of storax, and cense the place. If you know some Latin you could probably exorcise it too. ;)

I'd want to use a harpoon gun insertion device, though.
