    I work in a rather large office and never smelt a fart, weird.

    Personally I would complain if there was an air fresher around, I can't stand those sort of smells. I hate when the girls use body spray in the office, go to the bathroom.

    Buy a horn, every time one of them fart. Honk honk, right next to them.
    Bad luck breeds bad luck.

    Damn I'm doomed.

    Be careful what you spary in an office. I used to work in one and their was a lady who used to cover herself in a right horrible perfume (one by Britney Spears) and at times it was that bad that my eyes used to water and I'd have breathing problems (I do have Asthma) I was sat a good 15ft away from her as well.

    I am quite sensitive to stuff like that for instance in Cheser they had a shop called Lush that sells homemade soaps and other stuff and I can't walk past it with out my eyes stinging and watering, makes me look like I've been crying my eyes out, not the best look for a six foot bloke.

    Considering I only work with one other person in my office, it would be very obvious as to who had performed the crime...! ;)

    Farts are like children

    You can just about tolerate your own
    NO MORE HANDWASH GLITCHES PLEASE :D:D
  • I know the feeling! I work in a small department with some curry lovers but the boss says we can't spray anything due to health + safety...

    May I suggest a gas mask?

    I can't really see that an air freshener would do much if the farting is that bad - all you'd get is fart-filled air plus air freshener which to me would be worse.

    Does the office have opening windows? Or are you allowed fans? Maybe you could request to sit next to a window.

    If it is as bad as you describe, I'm really surprised that management don't see it as a problem.
