Hard Life Lessons
My Nephew Farted In A Job Interview
Then panicked because he did not know what to do
“Thinking, not for the first time, that life should come with a trapdoor. Just a little exit hatch you could disappear through when you’d utterly and completely mortified yourself. Or when you had spontaneous zit eruptions.” ― Michele Jaffe, Prom Nights from Hell
I have a nephew who is a together young man. He graduated college a semester early in December. He will start a Master’s program in August. In the meantime, he is looking for a job. Luckily, in his profession, accounting, there are positions where he can work full-time for six months. However, he must win those positions. Interviewing is stressful for anyone but is really tough for him. He is a hardcore introvert.
He was in an intense one-on-one interview when his stomach started feeling weird. Thinking he could make it to the end of that session, he squeezed his cheeks together and held on. The session did not end immediately. In fact, the interviewer settled in and kept asking questions.
Eventually, he let loose with a quiet, slow leak. He said it smelled like something had died in the room. Since there were only two people, the other person knew he had released gas.
