Foot in the ass
So we've all heard the term foot in the mouth when someone says something they shouldn't have said at the wrong time. Foot in the ass is what I think my father does often.
Sometimes when he thinks we're alone he'll saunter up to me with a mischievous grin on his face and let a thundering one rip. But more often than not, just around the corner, there is another person.
Once in the car when he didn't know I had my window open and the person on the bicycle nearly fell over. Once when he thought we were alone in the basement looking to buy a house, the homeowner was dusting in the doorless room beside us. Once when the elevator was about to open and a crowd of people waited outside. And all the time in his office when he thinks all the patients are gone, but they're not.
