Man claims he was “bullied by farts”
A worker in Australia who claims his ex-supervisor repeatedly broke wind at him has appealed against a court ruling that found he was not bullied.
David Hingst said his former colleague Greg Short would "lift his bum and fart" on him up to six times a day.
He sued his former company for A$1.8m (£0.97m; $1.28m) last year, but the Supreme Court of Victoria found there was no bullying.
Mr Hingst, 56, said the flatulence had caused him "severe stress".
'He would fart and walk away'
Mr Hingst, who was a contract administrator based in Melbourne, sued Construction Engineering in 2017 but the case was thrown out in April 2018.
He appealed that decision, and was heard by the Court of Appeal on Monday.
"I would be sitting with my face to the wall and he would come into the room, which was small and had no windows," Mr Hingst told the Australian Associated Press (APP).
"He would fart behind me and walk away. He would do this five or six times a day."

Well that smells to high heaven.
Also, how do you lift your bum? Is it like lifting yourself up by your bootstraps?

It's pretty disgusting behaviour, and could be seen as a sign of ..if not bullying behaviour, certainly insulting behaviour.

If that’s the case, I’ve been bullied by Mr. C for 31 years. Time to lawyer up!

I think the man sounds like an idiot - actually, both of them, the farter and the farted-upon - but to take someone to court because of a fart?

Farted upon should have had a lighter at the ready, then when farter lifted his bum he should have acted quick.
