To still send this video?

119 replies

DrippingInGinger · 15/05/2025 22:33

I took a video whilst on holiday for my mum and my grandma. It is something they both have a huge interest in but will never get to see in person. Unfortunately half way through the video DH does a huge fart which is very clear and obvious. No reference is made to it and the video continues as normal.
WIBU to still send the video to them? They know it exists and are wondering why I’ve not sent it yet.

I’d just reply “no idea! They’re beautiful aren’t they - it was a lovely experience” or something like that.

I did reply similar to this, I just put that I wasn’t sure what the other noise was and then started on about the wolves again. She replied saying “your dad thought it was you trumping haha” 🤦‍♀️😂 still awaiting grandma

Ok my mother has replied. I quote

“Thanks Ginger, that was amazing, I so wish I could hear them. Your dad says there are wolf sanctuaries in the uk, do you think they’d make the same noises if they’re not in the wild?
what was that rumbling noise in the middle?”

😂😂🤣

My grandma has not replied but there are two blue ticks 😬 she’s probably listening to it over and over again trying to work out what the noise is. Either that or she’s currently circulating it around the family 🤦‍♀️

I should have explained better in my OP

The sound I was recording was not something most people would record - plus it was quiet so not obvious. DH was watching TV, didn’t realise I was recording and did a huge fart. It’s not like he said “are you recording? Here … listen to this …” etc

I carried on recording but afterwards told him that his fart was captured on my recording. He asked me not to send it to anyone as it was embarrassing but I really want to send them the video, I promised I’d do it for them if I got the opportunity

Right then you cannot send it without editing.

He has asked you not to, you didnt tell him you were filming.

Human being farts - a normal bodily function. Unclench. 🙄

I'm very envious - I'd love to see wolves in the wild. But if they're anything like my dog, they will fart too. Tell Granny that one if the wolves farted!

For your husband, may I suggest charcoal biscuits?

Didn’t see them unfortunately, just heard them in the distance. Such a beautiful haunting sound. A few years ago we heard Coyotes in the US which was also lovely to hear

didn’t your dh want to hear them? Or was he more focused on the news?

He’d heard them a few nights earlier (I was in the shower). At the point he was obsessing over the pope.

What was the wildlife sound that your mum and grandma have a huge interest in but will never get to hear? I’m invested now

Wolves

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 16/05/2025 09:20

I would chop it into two parts and miss the fart bit out if that makes sense. Easy to do with the iPhone by just toggling the slider and saving as a new clip each time.

getahhtmapub · 16/05/2025 09:17

Claim ignorance and if they mention it pass it off as a passing motorbike, farty sofa or scraping chair and laugh heartily at the accusation.

Growlybear83 · 16/05/2025 09:15

Oops I missed your update - I’m sure they will have a good laugh when they see it 😆😆

Growlybear83 · 16/05/2025 09:14

cramptramp · 15/05/2025 22:40

Won’t they think it’s funny? I’m laughing at this now and I haven’t even seen the video.

I agree - I would really find this funny. Don’t bother trying to edit the fart out, I expect they will have heard one before 😆😆

Littlemiracles232504 · 16/05/2025 09:13

I’ve never been so invested in a fart in my life!
hopefully they just laugh it off, otherwise the next visit for a brew and a biscuit is gonna be a very awkward one 😅

The tv was on very low, I’d gone out to the very small balcony (no seating or anything, literally just enough room to open the door and take one step forward). I unexpectedly heard the wildlife so I got my phone out quickly and started recording. I’d been trying to get this sound all week and we were on our last night.

I’ve just sent them the video, it will be a laugh if nothing else.

Could you not say it was one of the wildlife animals letting rip?

DrippingInGinger · 16/05/2025 06:40

It was wildlife sounds

Only wildlife sounds was IN the bedroom 😂
how fucking loud was this thunder fart if it blasted through the tv and the “wildlife” volume?
must have been a real ripper

ohmondew · 16/05/2025 08:29

Are you worried they'll think it's you farting?

mumda · 16/05/2025 08:22

I'd throw it in canva and cut the fart but out and then resave. I used to use Sony Vegas software but for most things canva is just so much quicker.
You may just be able to edit the sound.

Comedy gold 👌🏻😂 …. Can you get your mum to video your grandma listening to your … (*coughs) “wildlife sounds” ?

Surroundedbyfools · 16/05/2025 07:49

For gods sake just send it. Everyone farts
