BRISTOL, England (AP) -- A British teacher who says a noisy chair made classroom life a misery is suing her former employer for unfair dismissal. Sue Storer, 48, told an employment tribunal Tuesday she was subjected to sexist and bullying behavior while working as deputy head teacher at Bedminster Down Secondary School in Bristol, southwest England.

Storer said the school failed to replace her chair, which made a "farting" noise whenever anyone sat on it, although other staff received new chairs. She said the chair was a source of embarrassment, especially at parent-teacher evenings. She also said male colleagues were favored over her and she was placed under an unfair amount of pressure.

"I had a nervous breakdown because of the ordeal I went through. It's just not fair that people can treat you like that," said Storer, who resigned in September. She said she would never teach again.

She is seeking a ruling that the school's behavior amounted to unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination, as well as compensation for lost earnings. The tribunal is expected to rule within the next two weeks.

This was in the paper this morning. If anyone actually reads the thing and takes in what it says, she's sueing her former employer for sexual discrimination, the chair was just one of the things that her former work colleagues picked up on, a catalyst so to speak. So TCon, I think it a little harsh of you to say "Someone needs some thicker skin" because they're sueing after suffering a long period of sexual discrimination. Had she of been sueing them entirely because her chair made farting noises, then I would agree with you...

I also find it extremely humorous that Americans are making jokes about it . Like you or your neighbour haven't ever sued Macdonalds because you burned yourself on the coffee...

I just report the news ... I'm not responsible for the interpretation of it nor how my comments are received. *whew*
