Ok, this question just resurfaced today.


It goes a little something like this:
I was minding my own business on my way up to the floor that I work on. The building itself is kinda neat in the way that it's designed. Almost to the top is where I work and some mornings can be a bit of a ride. Stop after stop, "Have a nice day." after "Have a nice day." I slowly creep to my destination. Monday's are normally slower up to my floor than normal (don't ask me why!?!) Which leads to the "incident". As I said doing what I do in the morning. Coffee in hand, Laptop on the shoulder entering a crowded elevator. Oddly enough, today was all women that work in the building, aside from me. I had no sooner entered the elevator than I noticed a "smell” This wasn't dirty shoes, bad bo, nor any other odor you could tag with "yep, that's it". The doors slowly close and I find myself trapped in the corner. No exit, I'm in it for the long haul. I know I didn't do it, thus leaving one of the Women there with me that did. This ride up I decided to get off 3 floors below mine. Funny thing was one of the ladies asked why I was getting off there. I turned and smiled saying I needed the exercise.

I have heard more times that not that Women don't fart. I can honestly say after today’s adventure that I have some unanswered questions.

Do we have any hard core definitive answers to this question? Any published papers out there?

I think it must have been a guy that did it before you got on. Surely one of those nice ladies would not have done that to you so early in the morning.

Oh hell, when that happens I just rip a loud one. When someone says something, I just come back, "Fighting fire with fire to neutralize the aroma"
I try not to do that in public, but hey when someone can do that and not even say "Excuse me"...
