Excessive flatulence: possible reason to seek accommodation? Forum

[Gemini]

[tyro]

A flame, or not a flame--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The humiliation of outrageous trolling
Or to take arms against the possibility
And by opposing run them out. To try, to creep--
No more--and by creeping to say we wait
For trollface, and the thousand other posts
That "ain't even mad". 'Tis a consummation
Expected but surprising. To try, to creep--
To creep--perchance to blaspheme: ay, there's the rub,
For in that snark of trolls what interpretations may come
When others have assumed your posts are serious
Must give us pause.

Wow that was great, will give it a go.


In the last whisker of nightshine,
I followed the toot of a trumpet
Up into a wood of snickery.
A frail wind brisked my nostrils,
And at once it became clear:
This was a trick.
A trail for Hansel and Gretel.

The trail led me upstream,
To a hut of sunken wheat.
Through the window I saw the troll
Sprawled out with a glass of wine.
I sniffed for signs of toots,
But instead what I saw
Sent chills across my spine.
A message on her screen,
Clearly, a final thought:
"TLS, suckers, I like ice cream"

LMAO. Wow. "The Toots of November" and "No, Not Even Mad." Truly modern classics.. very well done.

Gemini: thank you but no need to quibble with the naysayers. They can easily query this on the net. These clowns are the real trolls/flames. Ignore their drivel and invectives.

OK.. this makes me think that you are a troll. Invective? Quibble? What, do you also need accommodation for being from the 18th Century?



I did know a dude though who had such a serious fart problem that nobody wanted to be near him. It wasn't that he farted a lot, it was that the farts reeked to supernatural levels. Literally overpowering. Seriously, this dude couldn't seem to help it and it was SOOO f-ing bad. It was hilarious, but I did kind of feel for the guy.

From Wikipedia:


_______________________________________
Flatulence (Not to be confused with Queef).

Flatulence is the expulsion through the rectum of a mixture of gases that are byproducts of the digestion process of mammals and other animals. The mixture of gases is known as flatus in medspeak, informally as a fart, or simply (in American English) gas, and is expelled from the rectum in a process colloquially referred to as "passing gas", "breaking wind" or "farting". Flatus is brought to the rectum by the same peristaltic process which causes feces to descend from the large intestine. The noises commonly associated with flatulence are caused by the vibration of the anal sphincter, and occasionally by the closed buttocks.

I didn't read any of the op, but I'm still loling simply from the title of thsi thread

[Rock-N-Roll]

Even if a flame, I think this is an interesting question. The medical conditions that I typically thought required LSAT accommodation were those that affected the test taker's ability to perform on the exam, while here the OP is describing a condition that would rather more seriously affect those people in the vicinity of the test taker.

I wonder how and if LSAC has accommodated those with Tourette's Syndrome? I think that it might be similar.

In terms of what to tell schools on applications if one gets accommodation for an embarrassing condition - Is it necessary to get into the specific symptoms of one's medical ailment? I would think something general would work like, "I received accommodation for a GI condition."

Dude, just wear fart pants, already. Science is on it.

A girl in my grade in High School had the hiccups for about 3 semesters straight. About 1.5 semesters in, the teachers were getting clearly annoyed, even though she had no way of controlling it. It was actually quite sad

But farting is an entirely different story. In the words of Mr. Devito, "Poop's funny!"

Would this be considered a soft?

Especially not with the circumstances ITT.

If this is for real, I still wouldn't seek accommodation. If you can't take a test with others, admission officers will be hesitant to let you take classes etc. in law school with others, as they should be. Regardless of the fact that your issue might be solved sometime soon. If you can't take the LSAT with everyone now, then wait until you no longer have this problem and take it. Do not seek accommodation, or you will have a serious disadvantage.

I would not be so quick to call flame on this one. I have a family friend who works for a federal agency in D.C. with this exact condition. He didn't realize that excessive flatulence was a medically recognized condition until his coworkers insisted that he see a doctor about it. Apparently it had gotten to the point where it was disruptive to the others in his office. Due to his condition, he now works from home most of the time, going to the office only when he absolutely needs to. He jokes that this condition was the best thing to ever happen to him.

As to OP's actual question, I don't really know if they'll make accommodations for you (although they should), but I don't see any harm in contacting LSAC to find out.

Just because it's a medically recognized condition doesn't mean this thread isn't a flame.

[Shooter]

Somebody light a flame all up in here. Thread doesn't smell right.

[Lawst]

Also, being a lawyer who has this condition would be problematic, too, no? I guess maybe if OP doesn't have to be in court much? It would be a good secret weapon though for negotiations or mediation. "We're not leaving this room until we work out a deal!"

i love this board

I really appreciate the "toxicity" section of the wiki page...

I wonder if this qualifies OP as a URM?
