Love, Work and Health: Today, I shared an elevator alone with an attractive co-worker....

Today, I shared an elevator alone with an attractive co-worker. On our way up, she let out a loud, noxious rip. She covered her nose and mouth while giving me an accusing look, as I said with a straight face, "Excuse you." Later, I received a note from HR for harassment. FML

Today, I was in the elevator with my boss when I accidentally let rip the vilest, most horrifying fart of my life as we left the first floor. We stood in silence as the elevator slowly ascended to the 21st floor, leaving us to marinate in the fumes. FML

Today, I was in the elevator with my female coworker and a very attractive teen in front of us. My coworker reached out and grabbed the boobs of the teen in front of us, and blamed it on me. I got yelled at, kneed in the crotch, and punched in the face. My coworker couldn't stop laughing. FML

Today, while in the elevator with the girl from my office that I've been crushing on, but never spoken to, I said "aren't elevators awkward?" After a long silence, she got off three floors before our office. FML

Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML

Today, while I was on the up escalator, a small woman in front of me farted directly into my face. FML

Today, I had to fire an employee because she constantly calls in, or is late to work. She became very emotional and I felt kind of bad, so I walked her out myself. We then got stuck in the company elevator. FML

Today, I was stuck with a coworker all morning while she had the "front farts." I moved to a different area after lunch, only to have another coworker start talking loudly about her boyfriend's skin tags, and how he likes to have her bite them off. I'm so disgusted but afraid to report it. FML

Today, I was in an elevator with a coworker I barely know. My stomach thought that it was time to remind me I hadn’t eaten breakfast. It growled like a dying whale, and my coworker gave me a concerned look. To make it worse, the elevator got stuck for five minutes. We stood in awkward silence, with my stomach making noises the whole time. FML

Today, at work, I was caught picking my nose, on camera, in an elevator. The security guard stopped me on my way out of the building to tell me how funny it was. FML

Today, I wore flip-flops to work. Just as I walked onto the elevator, they made a sound very close to that of a fart. About 10 seconds later, some asshole let out a silent but deadly fart, earning me a bunch of disgusted looks. FML

Her personality is clearly a lot less attractive than her looks... Seriously, what kind of person would damage someone's career to cover up her own fart.

Make sure you go to HR and refute it, claiming she was harassing you for trapping you in an elevator and being rude! Honestly though, make sure you let HR know exactly what happened and how she did nothing except look at you to blame. You used manners, she took it wrong. Document EVERYTHING like this with HR, because all it takes is a disgruntled person to get back at you later, and now the situation is written down.

Hi-jack the elevator footage and broadcast it at work. Provided it has sound.

HR needs to look up “harassment”. A single incidence almost never qualifies as harassment, unless it’s something a bit more serious.

You need to countersue for “olfactory harassment!”

Isn’t that the exact reason men in the US immediately vacate the elevator if they are in there alone with a female? Harassment is a serious accusation and it’s very difficult to get rid of that stain, even if it’s a complete and obvious lie. If there is video with sound, it won’t help much, cause unless it’s thermal vision you cannot see who farted.
