Is it ok to pass wind in a crowded elevator?

Quiet passing is preferred of course, so you can look with disgust at your fellow passengers, but don't think really cracking one off doesn't come with a fairly high degree of enjoyment as well.

Just make the comment that you thought you were just going to pass gas, but you may have in fact, **** your pants. Then turn around and ask everyone if you have a brown spot.

I do my best to hold it until doors are about to open, then bust butt while walking off the elevator.
Sometimes have to get off a different floor because I can't hold it anymore.

Depends on the crowd. In with nice ladies in an office environment, probably not.

There was a time in Mexico city when I was on an AOG where we had pretty much lost the last half of the work day. One of the crew went out and got us some roasted chicken for lunch. An hour later we were all vomiting, explosive diarrhea, all of that. An entire crew laying around sick as dogs, afraid to even risk a fart.

Once we got back to the hotel, I found myself in an elevator with about a dozen of us. I was feeling much better by then, but still had horrible cramps and gas. So I let one fly. Boy did I let one fly. And I got away with it - no "Higgins", not even the threat of one.

Rather than abject disgust, the rest of the guys cheered and high-fived me. Success! I represented hope for their futures...

It is okay if:
1. It's snowing
2. Everyone is bundled up and leaving due to the weather.
3. You have a biatchinnnn set of snow tires mounted on your car.

(basically- at this point you can tell Bob- "hey- these aren't just good tires- these are GREAT tires..." Then- you own the moment. Fart at will, you most interesting man in the world!)

I was working with my friend Dave in Ulsan, Korea. We had just returned to the hotel from a day of work and walked across the lobby straight to the elevators. We managed to get on one that had just released all its passengers, so we had the car to ourselves. Before the door closed, we saw a Japanese guy rushing to the elevator. Dave reached out and hit the "Close" button, and the door closed just before the bemused guy got to the elevator. I looked at Dave wondering what happened to his manners, but then noticed his ear to ear grin and was completely unprepared for the thunderous fart he then released. His poor manners actually saved that poor guy from a terrible fate, but I wasn't so lucky.

I travel a lot (airline crew) and we pride ourselves on the ability to let one rip right as we get off the elevator if the rest of the crew stays on to go to a higher floor..

Do it in the elevator when you're alone, then exit and leave it as a surprise for whoever enters next.

That's when I do it. Just as the door is closing so everyone is trapped in the gas chamber.

I usually prefer to crop dust the crowd while exiting.

Yup. Must be something about guys traveling and spending a lot of time together. This was a virtual requirement with the AOG crews I travelled with.

Even better was to knock on someone's hotel room door and, when they let you in, head straight for the bathroom and drop a big old stinky steamer in their toilet, then leave. Let's 'em know you're thinking about them.
