Ever Fart In Front Of A Co-Worker?

I did last week (if you count this past week as this week, if you know what I mean).  I was in the bathroom just peeing and, dammit, it just happened.  And it just happened as someone was passing me by and going into the stall.  No fart control for me on this day.

That's bad enough; chances are pretty good that the person who heard me is someone I interact with, and that is quite embarrassing.  I had half a mind to just scoot out of there, even to the point of not washing my hands.  But I had to in case it was someone I knew; didn't want him to think I don't wash my hands after I pee.  And sure enough, it's one of the guys that I knew.  He said hi to me and, due to shame, I just raised my finger to him.  I was trying to thread the needle of being both cordial and curt, but striking up a conversation right after I farted in front of him (loudly I might add) probably would come off as if I was acting like I did not fart in front of him, and that would be a total lie.

And then I changed my bleepin' mind again because I decided how I was acting was suspicious and rude, so as I left, I gave him a quick goodbye (it was near the end of the day and I was about to leave -- I think).  I doubt that changed the tenor of the bathroom, and it sure as heck didn't erase the fact that I farted loudly in front of my co-worker.  Yeah, I'm not living this down.
