work in a call center for a certain city’s 311 center, on the overnight shift. I spend 10 hours a night sitting at a desk playing webgames and reading e-mail and maybe fielding 9 calls a night… One of my co-workers whom we shall name “Mudbutt” has a little problem… At this point we haven’t established whether it is a femenine or flatulent odor, but it is foul beyond comparison.

Every night she goes to lunch at about 2:30am, and comes back at 3:30am. usually around 3:45 there is a strange stench spreading throughout the office… Now, I can understand a little fart cutting loose every once and a while, but the reek we experience is unholy beyond belief… think of a rotten egg/baby diaper scent… sulphrous and strong, and it doesn’t go away. Basically every ten minutes we get a strong whiff, and this goes on for a few minutes.

We have hinted at the problem, brought out candles (but we can’t burn them) and aerosol scents, etc. Nothing is strong enough to cover it up except perhaps lysol.

The worst part of it is that she laughs at us when we complain. One night she complained of “stomach pains” and we heard a loud noise that sounded like a soft burp, and this fish scent started getting stronger and stronger. I don’t even want to guess what it was, but I did submit a bid for a new shift…
