Beth: True story--one time I was at a party and we all had a couple drinks. All the sudden this woman rips a huge fart. I mean, there was no passing it off as squeaky shoes or floorboards--it sounded like that stereotypical flatulent sound kids make when they put their palms up against their mouths and blow. There was sort of a shocked silence and the woman totally did not react at all. Like it never happened. Not so much as a quiver in her countenance. I say, good move! Because as long as you don't acknowledge it, no one 100% knows for sure it was you.
Kevin: If it can’t be confidently pinned on you, carry on as if nothing
happened. If it can be pinned confidently on you, you say, “Pardon me,”
and then carry on.
The chair in my new office makes a squeak/creak/burp sort of noise. I know how to manage it now, but there was a week when I am certain three different people thought I audibly farted while meeting with them. Awesome.
