My husband walked into my home office today to grab something off our printer and he farted. While he was standing right next to me at our home printer. I was sitting at my desk WORKING and basically his ass was at the same height as my head because I was sitting in my desk chair. And he laughed because it was really smelly.
I know that I’m working from home right now, but can I report him to HR? Because I think it might have been intentional. Is this workplace harassment even if we don’t work for the same company, but we’re stuck working out of the same house? Who do I talk to about this? Because it was gross and my office smelled for awhile after he left the room. How can I be productive in this environment??
This makes me really miss my co-workers. I get that sometimes gas just happens, but does it have to happen so close to my workstation? He says he didn’t do it on purpose, but I’m not sure I believe him, he’s a big fan of farting humor. Some days it’s like being surrounded by a group of 5-year-olds, when actually there’s just one 45-year-old in the house.
And then he did it again later this afternoon. He laughed, but I know it’s definitely intentional. And I’m on to him now, he better watch his back. I wash all his dirty laundry, imagine all the things I could do!
