Federal Worker Reprimanded for Flatulence
Talk about an embarrassing letter to have in your file. A 38-year-old Social Security Administration employee was formally reprimanded earlier this month for his “uncontrollable flatulence” that had created a “hostile” and “intolerable” environment for the unfortunate co-workers in his Baltimore office, according to the letter posted online by the Smoking Gun. By “releasing the awful and unpleasant odor” the government worker engaged in “conduct unbecoming a federal officer.”
The difficult-to-believe letter includes a log detailing dates and time when his flatulence was detected, including one day when he passed gas nine times in one day, starting at 9:45 a.m. and ending at 4:30 p.m.
The issue was apparently discussed with the employee numerous times over the last few months and at one point he was asked to “make it to the restroom before releasing the awful and unpleasant odor.”
Although the employee presented evidence that he suffered from “some medical conditions” the manager who wrote the letter notes that “nothing that you have submitted has indicated that would have uncontrollable flatulence.”
The purpose of the reprimand is “to impress upon you the seriousness of your actions,” notes the letter.

Doesn't Ca. have regulations on that ?
-
No actually. tons of other stuff is illegal. Whats really funny, is hardware stores can sell things, that coating stores can't.
-
I think if you look hard enough you will find that Ca probably has a standard to regulate methane emissions.
Or perhaps "Noxious vapors".
After all, the science is in, everybody knows that man made global warming is caused by the excess methane emissions of all the cows we raise .
-
Tom most states do as well as the feds. Its mainly for land fills and treatment plants. most of which just burn it off. some recycle the heat, others use it to produce power.

I know, I'm just taking a shot at Ca. tendency to regulate everything and the "global warming" a holes.
