Just back from a naice ice cream parlour, around a fiver a sundae /sweet waffle. Toppings beyond your wildest dreams. Not a fan but waited to end the hols off on a super sweet note for dc!! 4dc from 3-12. All sat super nicely (nice change!) and waited patiently to be served. A couple sat behind us, joined by dc and dgs. The little boy was a bit boisterous but not unacceptably so (about 2). Then the who's farted - was it you? Are you sure you haven't farted? You've definitely farted!
The bloody dgf!!He was winding the little boy up something ridiculous, like a bloody dc!! I mean ffs in a place people have reserved seats and are paying to eat!! Was bloody gross tbh!! Not sure if something was said to him but when we left he was sat round a corner away from the rest of the family!!
Yuck just yuck.

Some families seem to find toilet humour hilarious, poos, farts bring much hilarity. God knows why, I find it repulsive.

Grim. If he had some horrible bowel condition I doubt he'd find it so hilarious.

Horrible but then I don't like people talking about farting in public anyway. Some kids were on the bus the other day talking about their balloon making "fart noises" all I could think was yuck and if they were my kids I would have told them to stop!

I agree. I hate this. It's one thing if children are having a bad day in terms of behaviour-that happens to everyone and is just part of life. But when an adult is deliberately winding a child up in public and in a why which has a negative impact on others, it is just so stupid and selfish.

It really wouldn't bother me tbh. It's only a word.

He made a joke with a small child about farting? Really OP; if you're such a delicate little flower that hearing the word fart means you are put off your food I would suggest it's you who needs to stay home.

Someone on another table in a cafe was talking about farting.

Is that all?

There is some epic pearl clutching going on here. Adults who are disturbed by hearing the word fart.

He was probably sulking like the ridiculous man child he clearly is. My dad has a tendency to wind the kids up and then get the hump when he is told to pack it in.

There is a far amount of toilet humour in this house as DD is a demon farter, but never in public FFS!

It wasn't a quick comment - he went on and on.
Would you want to eat listening to that? And yeah the dgf was banished so it seemed!!

I don't think YABU or "delicate" OP, I think a little joke with a small child about farting is fine at home, but in a place where people are eating it's really bad manners. Silly man.

I'm confused by what actually happened Confused

Are you upset that the DGF pushed a fart out to make the child laugh and it smelt or that he was winding up the child that he had farted but no smell was present?

Def not a delicate flower but don't find talking about farting /smelly farts /smelling a dc bum in a cafe is an appropriate way to behave!!

I totally agree and you are defo NBU.
I had a similar experience with a DF of teens on the next table in a reasonably nice establishment, only it was who could make the most unpleasant belching sound. I know I am being a pearl clutcher but I had to leave the table as I began to heave.
Much prefer a fart to a burp but I'm a bit weird like that...
