My boss just pulled me in her office to talk about my toots.

Stupid high-fiber, high-protein diet.

    Haahaa oh dear. I was just complaining to a coworker that my new shoes keep making farty noises when I work, but that's next level.

    Try charcoal tablets. My farty brother swears by them.

    Since you are all nurses, what did she say? I mean, she above all should know it's a normal biological function. Was she worried about your health? Or did she just tell you to take it outside?

    Oh goodness! How did he even approach you with this topic? That must've been so uncomfortable.

    Sorry maybe see if changing what you eat will help. That must've been a very awkward conversation.

    I really like my diet! It's nutritious and keeps me happy at 1200 calories a day. I will definitely try picking up some simethicone or charcoal or something tho. I didn't realize it was such an issue, my work is pretty stinky even without my toots.

    I worked with a person who loudly farted all the time and was not even aware of it. Or if she was aware of it she pretended like she wasn't.

    Adding some extra plants might reduce the smell, apparently it's the high protein that causes the stink, so more salad with your protein :-)

    Lol i know I have to plan out my food because my typical plant based days and high protein days lead to gas!! AKA no vega protein shakes before dates.
