Farted on bus loudly, rude comments? AIBU to feel this was unnecessary?

[SuperFlyHigh]

This is an embarrassing post. On a bus (not crowded) yesterday. I had a dodgy stomach that appeared during the morning with loud farts.

Unfortunately during part of the journey I let off a loud and a bit smelly fart. Cue two women nearby one saying loudly "that's disgusting, who would smell like that, who would do that, dirty bitch" with a pointed look at me and looking away. I got off the bus feeling a bit embarrassed went to a toilet in a department store, went to the toilet and cleaned myself up (it wasn't as bad as I thought it was) got hand sanitizer and took some anti-diarrhoea pills.

AIBU to think this one woman was really rude or am I being over sensitive? It was one of those routemaster buses she said something about opening the windows but they don't have windows... That's not my fault and I had no idea my stomach was so bad.

Thanks

No really rude of them. Some people do treat farts like its something personal against them.

[Afreshstartplease]

It could have been worse, the bus could have been full of school kids

Etiquette dictates that you pretend it never happened, especially in a yoga class.

Unless you're at home, in which case you say..."Whichoneofyoudidthat?"

holly these were two grown women, a mother and daughter. If I'd been up for a row I'd have called her out on calling me a bitch but felt so unwell...

Luckily I'm better now but it seriously did creep up on me during the course of the day!

Words fail.

I once farted in a school assembly and got called a dirty bitch aswell lol.

[SuperFlyHigh]

holly that's school kids though!

Seriously the bus was empty.....

[Bloopbleep]

Always look accusingly at the person talking/bitching and innocently say "pardon you" ;)

[AlexaTwoAtT]

It was not empty.

You can't help being ill but I would have been seriously pissed off if you had done a loud stinky fart on the bus next to me. I probably wouldn't have vocalised it but I would move and make it clear why I did. Buses are smelly enough, I don't want to be trapped in some random's shit particles as well.

[SuperFlyHigh]

Bloopbleep I hadn't realised I was supposed to apologise (not what you're saying) should I have apologised too??

I wasn't right next to them.

[AlexaTwoAtT]

Urgh. Last night people were talking about not flushing their loos and now this.
Standards and pride come to mind...

[hollyatchristmas]

I think the best thing to do is pretend nothing happened, I guess I can understand people not being thrilled by bad smells though.

[SuperFlyHigh]

I wasn't next to them! They were sat in I think the seats behind but not facing onto my seat. So there was separation distance. If they had been near I'd have apologised.

[GlitteryFluff]

She was rude.
However if I was sitting on a bus with someone and they just let a loud smelly one go, I'd think they were rude tbh.

[AmysTiara]

Well its a bit grim to be fair. Stuck on a bus with no open windows. Ugh.

[JinkxMonsoon]

Well I would have done my best to hold it in, especially as it sounded like you soiled yourself.

It's not nice having your nose assaulted with foul farts in enclosed spaces.

[SuperFlyHigh]

Alexa number one I wasn't that near them, number two what was I supposed to have done? I had an upset stomach that came on suddenly, if I was that sick and I realised before I'd have stayed home!!!

[AlexaTwoAtT]

Why would you post something like this, anyway? Jeez

[liz70]

"some random's shit particles "

They must be incredibly tiny particles if they can pass through several layers of clothing.

[SuperFlyHigh]

Jink I was lucky I didn't soil myself, managed to hold on til I found a toilet, but had the horrid fart just before.

[SuperFlyHigh]

How can you hold something in if you have an upset stomach??

[hollyatchristmas]

Well if someone's soiling themselves they clearly can't help it.

I guess in OPs situation you might be best apologising quietly and indicating your ill.

I fainted once in Tesco, I must of farted because I came round when I hit my head and there was a horrible smell but the staff were lovely and none mentioned the smell. Although they probably did when I Went!

[DonaldStott]

So you sharted and someone said you stank. Well sorry but I would have been pissed off too. I may have pulled a face, but probably wouldn't have said anything.
