To still send this video?

119 replies

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.

But this was a public place? Or you were in the hotel room or whatever? Very confusing. Why didn't you just take another video?

🤢

Oh this thread has made my morning. I don't know what's the funniest part - the fart on the wildlife video, the sanctimonious comments on how pearl clutchingly awful DH must be, or the scene of grandma watching the video. Truly Fartgate!

I don't understand why you would try to film quiet wildlife sounds while the TV was on?

Exactly what I said! Quiet wildlife sounds but the TV in the background commenting on the Pope….
makes me wonder if the whole thing is BS

Edit it into 3 parts. Before, fart, after.

Send them the before and after and us the fart 😂

😆

Who are these people who don't fart in their own bedroom and can also decide how loud the fart is going to be?

Sure was!

FlockofSquirrels · 16/05/2025 07:13

Figure out how to edit the sound out or don’t send it and let it be a funny thing just between you and DH.

Your DH didn’t know you were filming and has asked you not to share the video. You wouldn’t appreciate him sending his family members a video of your belching or farting in assumed privacy after you told him it would embarrass you, right? How your grandmother would react is irrelevant.

I can’t take the audio out as that is the main point of the video. Not savvy enough to edit part audio 😬

Cut the video into two halves and don’t include the part with the fart.

gattocattivo · 16/05/2025 06:52

If it was quiet wildlife sounds of something your mum and grandma would really love but won’t get to see, it sounds very odd to leave the tv on in the background. Too late now but it would have been so simple to just ask dh to mute the tv while you video’d. Then presumably he’d have held his fart in.

as it is though it’s a simple job to edit the clip to leave out the fart and just have quiet gently wildlife sounds (and commentary on the selection of the Holy Father)

I don’t think so, he didn’t realise I was filming

You can edit it to mute or cut the few seconds out of the video. You should be able to do it on your phone if you play around with the videos edit options or search how to edit videos with your specific phone on YouTube.

So he's loudly farting through something you needed to listen to?

He didn’t realise she was filming.

SortYourselfOut · 16/05/2025 01:26

Can you say your chair scraped along the floor, OP ? 😂

Shitmonger · 16/05/2025 00:15

No I wouldn’t send it. I wouldn’t want my mum and grandmother knowing that I was sitting on a balcony trying to record a rare bird for them or whatever while my husband was ripping ass in the room behind me. 😂

vivicoco · 16/05/2025 00:04

I cannot stop laughing at this 😂

Smallsalt · 16/05/2025 00:01

Just clip the fart section out of the video. Unless it was a freakishly prolonged fart it would just be like 1 second out of the recording removed.

He sounds delightful.

notomato · 15/05/2025 23:40

My mum would laugh until she cried if I sent her a video like that. I'm trying not to laugh too much now 😂

PeapodMcgee · 15/05/2025 23:40

Just send it without comment. Nanny has seen and heard a great deal more shocking than a single fart in her life.
