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.

Oh ffs, what were you trying to film? It’s not bloody outing to tell us 😂

This is what Im dying to know now ..

The scene is set now in my mind -

D-farty bum-H lolling on sofa oblivious watching the Conclave …

An environment quiet enough to capture aforesaid blow off …

So…what on earth had you set up to film- that cannot be restaged and recaptured ?

As it presumably wasn’t a spontaneous whipping out of the camera - as you say people were anticipating the video?

Intrigued now…

What on earth were you filming?! A loud frog or something?!

JDM625 · 15/05/2025 23:37

So you knew at the time that DH has done a massive fart which was audible? Why on earth didn't you then:

  • re-record whatever it was?
  • why then tell you mum/grandma you had a recording? Surely you just wouldn't mention it???

This make no sense!

CapitalAtRisk · 15/05/2025 23:34

Is this a thing that happens in your relationship? That your DH does loud farts in public?

Horrible.

He didn’t realise I was filming

It’s fine to do huge loud farts when you are not filming then…..pig

OP I just want to say your thread has made me laugh so hard through a terrible evening so thanks 😂

Just tell them you did not, in fact, get the opportunity, then.

This is a lot of angst over something that is in no way a big deal.

Well yes, the world would be a much more efficient place if there was no angst about anything ever. But very dull to be completely angst-free!

He sounds charming

Are you joking? It's literally a bodily function. I'd rather people fart than hold it in and be uncomfortable.

OP, it's very easy to edit out. I can do it if you PM me the video, but obviously I see why you wouldn't want to send it out :).

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

Can't you split the video into two, clip one pre-fart and clip two post-fart? Just say you had a technical issue in the interval.

Your DH can help since he caused all this trouble!

I’ll ask him if he can do that, if not my son might be able to do it

could you pretend it was the coming from the TV if they mention it?

I don’t think so, you can clearly hear the TV talking about the pope so that loud racket sounds very out of place 😂

For farting? You might need to pull that stick out, it'll help you fart too if you do. Grin

Littlemiracles232504 · 15/05/2025 23:05

Can you not just play it off like he had belly ache and couldn’t help it rather than him just being a farting sloth on the bed?

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

I just blurted out a laugh at both fart gate and the fact that it’s on here - knowing that at some point someone is going to say OP for that level of disrespect directed at your family you 💯 need to LTB !!!!!
hilarious 🤣

Redpeach · 15/05/2025 22:59

So something really interesting was happening on the street outside your balcony on holiday, and your dh lay in bed loudly farting?

HyggeTyggeDotCom · 15/05/2025 22:58

Dear lord it’s just a fart. Send the video!

Just tell your mum that it was the neighbour on the next balcony.

She knows there was no other balconies, it was just us. The sound is very loud and obvious coming from behind me. What makes it worse is that the sound I was actually recording is pretty quiet so they’ll both have their ears pressed against the phone. Then out of nowhere a loud disgusting fart

What was the thing? Could his fart be mistaken for part of the ensemble?
