Farting in the garden

Do you fart in your garden? Sitting contemplating some pruning, I did, and then too bloody late suddenly wondered if no one else in the world does this and whether I'm a bad neighbour?!

What the fuck are you eating that your neighbours would even notice you breaking wind?

vodkaredbullgirl · 01/09/2021 14:14
Hmm

Might be a problem if it’s a communal garden.

burritofan · 01/09/2021 14:15

Fart around the garden, slap me on the patio

HummingBeeBox · 01/09/2021 14:15

@IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves have you never done a massive fart?! 🤣

WingingItSince1973 · 01/09/2021 14:16

Ha ha yes of course. But I'm also a massive hypocrite and moan at dh if he does it 🤣

fantasmasgoria1 · 01/09/2021 14:16

I fart if I need to wherever I am. If I was at an appointment etc I will try not to but at home, in the garden or anywhere! It's wind, you get belly ache if you hold it!

HPLikecraft · 01/09/2021 14:17

Where e’er ye be, let the wind gang free.

burritofan · 01/09/2021 14:18

OP’s winds do shake the darling buds of May

iklboo · 01/09/2021 14:18

Good grief.

Millymog · 01/09/2021 14:39

first world problems!!!

For someone who retired at 50 and is apparently rolling in cash, you seem to live in rather close proximity to your neighbours?!

Maybe you could live somewhere more secluded then you could snap and fart over the roses to your heart’s content.

Make sure you fart in the right direction. The wind/or breeze, can carry the noise and smell away, so you can choose which way it goes.. Its ok to fart if the neighbours are in party mood, and have music and a BBQ on the go, as they won't hear or smell anything, so you can fart non stop for ages.

is your real name Hyacinth Bucket?

I had a pee in the garden earlier. Nobody could see me and I couldn't be arsed to go indoors. It was lovely.

BrilliantBetty · 01/09/2021 14:50

My DH always opens the kitchen door when he's in there, so he has quick access to go and fart outside.

As long as it's not in the kitchen I don't care. No sign the neighbours do either, you're all good.

Longdistance · 01/09/2021 14:56

I like a good fart in the garden. When we were at our holiday home we let rip, even next door joined in 😂

amusedbush · 01/09/2021 16:02

I live in a row of terraced houses and the gardens are tiny. If I farted in my garden, poor Betty next door would hear it over her telly in the living room!

I live in a glorious small row of period houses, everyone has a large back garden and I have an allotment to one side. That good enough for you?

It's the "out of sight out of mind" nature of the neighbours that makes me forget that they might be out in their garden and find it a shock to suddenly hear a fart as if from nowhere.

I'd rather in the garden than in the house.

I've never done one that my neighbours would be able to smell! 😁

EmmaGrundyForPM · 01/09/2021 16:46

But what about when you're looking after your neighbours baby? I don't know what the etiquette is of farming in your neighbours garden whilst babysitting

EmmaGrundyForPM · 01/09/2021 16:46

Farting not farming! Bloody autocorrect

BlackberrySky · 01/09/2021 17:03

How loud was this fart? Unless you were right by the fence with them sitting directly on the other side, I doubt they would even hear it? Unless it was some sort of epic release 😂
