Today, I wore flip-flops to work. Just as I walked onto the elevator, they made a sound very close to that of a fart. About 10 seconds later, some asshole let out a silent but deadly fart, earning me a bunch of disgusted looks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was in the elevator with my boss when I accidentally let rip the vilest, most horrifying fart of my life as we left the first floor. We stood in silence as the elevator slowly ascended to the 21st floor, leaving us to marinate in the fumes. FML
Today, at work, I needed to fart and thought it would be fast and silent, so I let it rip. I was wrong. Everyone turned around and looked at me as my fart rolled on for a good 10 seconds. The worst part, I screamed, "It wasn't me!" while I was still farting. FML
Today, I was in a packed elevator when I heard a loud noise. I assumed someone had farted, so I tried to discreetly turn around and hold my breath. To my horror, the loud noise was actually the elevator malfunctioning and dropping a few floors. I made it even more awkward by holding my breath, and the guy next to me asked, “You good?” FML
Today, I was working at my desk and wearing my new noise cancelling headphones. I couldn’t hear anyone around me, so I let out a nice long fart. Every desk behind me was occupied and the fart was not silent. FML
Today, the guy who got off when the elevator's doors opened had a very embarrassed look on his face. I didn't think anything of it till the doors closed. Turns out he was running away from his deadly fart. FML
Today, at work, I had to use the bathroom to urinate. It's basically in an open plan office, so everyone can hear absolutely everything. After successfully and discreetly doing my business, I noticed a bit of dirt on the wall. I gave it a rub with my thumb on the smooth tile. It sounded exactly like a loud fart. FML
Today, I wore new shoes to work, which turned out to be the loudest shoes on the planet when walking on the office lino. Every step echoed like a cartoon villain entering a room. My coworker asked if I needed some WD-40. I still had six hours left to walk around. FML
Today, after working alone in a room all day, I let a fart sneak out. Just then, my drop dead gorgeous boss and two new girls walked in. I could literally see them hit the stench and cringe. FML
Today, while waiting for my job interview to start, I tried to slip out a silent fart. It ended with shit running down my leg. FML
Today, I was in an elevator with a bunch of people in suits. It was so quiet, I tried to break the ice by joking, “So… who farted?” The doors opened immediately and everyone walked out without a word. I was left alone in my own shame. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI thats what you get for wearing flu flops to work. I am not sure what job that you take an elevator in, has a dress code that includes flip flops, but that just would not fly at my work place.

Sucks for you then. At my job at an award-winning advertising firm, we have an elevator AND a president that wears flip flops.

That it wouldn't fly in your workplace really doesn't mean it doesn't fly in others. I work at a fair-sized computer software company. Elevators, no dress code, and a few people -- including some who presumably have pretty high salaries -- who don't bother with shoes at all.

We have elevators AND dress down days for charity.

In what world does wearing flip flops to work make embarrassment about a farting incident deserved? They're in no way related. I could understand op deserving it if he wore flip flops to work and got fired or something, but these two situations in no way relate.

Did anyone look guilty?

"Some asshole let out a fart" where else is it suppose to come from???

I'm sure there are some people that fart from their mouth. Some of what comes out is so vile it can only be a severe case of oral-anal inversion syndrome.

Some people have been known to have verbal diarrhea as well.

Sounds like perfect timing to me. Pity the blame was put on you though.

Sorry OP but this is hilarious. The asshole is also an evil genius.

Worst ever!

Flip Flops are terrible and YDI for wearing them to work ... unless you work at the beach or pool ... but neither of those usually have elevators.

Unless he works at a gym or INDOOR pool, then it's recommended.

Flip flops are not recommended at a gym. Someone could drop a dumbbell on your foot.

I guess you will have to own it.
