Summary

A UK bus driver was fired after a colleague complained about a strong flatulence odor she allegedly emitted. Stephanie Bryan, who worked for The Big Lemon, was dismissed in January 2025. A tribunal ruled that her personal hygiene was not linked to her claimed disabilities, including depression and bladder weakness. The court found that her dismissal was due to probation failure, not discrimination.


Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

Some people fart. Some people get fired. Some people sue. Some people get ignored.

Workplace hygiene is a thing. Personal space is a thing. Fart smells are a thing.

Disability claims don’t protect you from bad smells. Probation does.

Everyone needs to fart. No one needs to be fired for it.
