Never had such an experience myself.. (touch wood!)
but one time a friend of a friend was suffering from diarrhea (sp?) and for some strange reason thought he'd be able to manage a three hour lesson one morning. during the lesson he thought he'd get away with letting out a silent one, unfortunately what he thought was a silent one was not so silent and .. well let's just say he had to excuse himself and go home to change his underwear..

I knew a teacher in Korea who would first tell the students to be quiet,then when they were absolutely silent,he would let one rip.After that he would say excuse me.The students,who were children,found this to be hilarious.

It wasn't in the classroom. It was in an even more embarassing situation...in front of my super-hot college boyfriend.

I was 18 or 19 and had been doing karate. Super-hot boyfriend was at my place, and being the tomboy-chick I was, couldn't help but show off my newly defined six-pack abs. I was on my back and super-hot by friend was standing on my stomach. No sweat, I did it without any pain. He stepped off and I thought it was my chance to take a breather, was he unexpectedly pressed his foot onto my lower abs, and out of nowhere a perfectly round sounding, "boop" came out. I was mortified. He thought it was hilarious. "you are like a squeeze toy. do it again, do it again!"

The only good thing that comes from this story is that super-hot college boyfriend is now my husband. (and he never lets me forget that eventful day) Embarassed

I once did in the language lab, where I thought everybody would be engaged with the task I had given them. One took his headphones off and gave me one of those discreet smiles.

A lota y'all seem to be doing some serious gas-expulsion here. Is there a problem with TEFLers in this part of the world?

Oh dear............ Just can't resist can you.
One more anecdotes.
I cn't type for laughing this is a good thred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?@@?
Try again,,,
"Did you just fart?
No!
Oh good, mine must be smelling better....

For the evil farter on the tube who remains anonymous to you.
Look on the floor, bend over and look along the carriage, look at everyones feet. Ok now you have their attention. Ask someone "Can you see them?" keep looking, "can anyone see them?" await the question "See what?"
WELL I don't know but I 'd say some evil git has dropped their guts wouldn't you?
Then look for the red faced one.

I once dated a man who was a high school principal and once he admitted that he walked up to a student who was sitting at a table in the library and purposely farted at him...a loud, smelly one. Wonder why he is now an EX.

I have done the walk-by farting in classes once when I was ill. But, of course, being a woman, mine smelt like the lining from a dead rats arse!!! Luckily, the kids blamed the class ijit. Gottta love it when there is one of them.

My problem now in HK is the belching. The other day during a shocking silent reading period, from no where, a huge burp came out of someone, who not only burst into a fit of Giggles, but then would say "excuse me". Not to worry, it must be ok since the staff do it as well, no matter when or where.

Had an incident where I turned around and I see several students holding their noses and have vacated the area around a praticular student. I couldnt hold in the laughter and asked the student if he cut the cheese? Spent my 10 min break explaining to the chinese teaching assistants the meaning of the phrase.

This is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time: babyabule's post in particular had me laughing out loud!

Is there a teacher anywhere who can't identify with this thread? I feel like posting the link to all the EFLers of my acquaintance.

Amazingly - given my general maladroitness - I can't recall an incident of this nature ever happening to me. The worst has been uncontrolled coughing fits -and then everyons feels sorry for you. Hell, I've never even tripped over the cord of the cassette player - but then, I do make sure to unplug it the second I'm finished with it, because knowing my clumsiness...

A friend of mine was once teaching a bunch of Spanish and Italian kids. She sneezed (a big one!) and a nice firm globule of snot flew over one student's head, landing with a splat on the notebook of the girl sitting behind her. My friend, who had no tissues with her, was given one by a rather bemused student. She didn't know what to do, but responded by attempting to wipe off the thick snot (sorry!) disfiguring her student's notebook.

My friend said she had never been so embarrassed in her life. However,compared tosome of the more excrutiating stores on this thread, she got off pretty lightly. What's a bit of snot compared to a big brown patch?

At least the big brown patch wasn't on a student's notebook.
