The trick with the deflection fart is you can't delay. You can't tense up in embarrassment and then pretend to look at the person next to you as if they did it. You have to immediately give them a "wtf, sick!" look.

So the very second I farted I turned my neck toward her and gave a snort and sour expression. She looked at me naturally and then, realizing the deflection, turned red and panicky. This doomed her. People looking our direction focused their judging eyes on her, and she gave quick little head shakes but it did no good. I turned my focus back on the speaker, and the girl next to me put her head in her hands humiliated.

2 hours later I get an email from HR saying that I am being accused of sexual harassment. Un-fucking-beleivable.
