Farting embarrassment

[mollycobbles]

I just farted in a work meeting. I had no warning and I went to say something and it just popped out - it was so unexpected. I’m sure everyone heard, but I was saying something jokey and just carried on laughing and acted as if nothing happened.

I am so so embarrassed 😞. I bet everyone’s talking about me. Please tell me this isn’t so bad!

We all fart, it's OK, maybe they thought it was someone else?

Don't worry! It's impossible to tell from whom a fart erupts in a roomful of people, in my opinion!

I wouldn't worry about it, everyone farts and I would say shit happens, but as long as shit did not actually happen then it is fine!

I would resign asap

(just joking)

My hairdresser farted the other day. To be fair, we both ignored it as we're of an age where we have less control over our bodily functions.

It's fine, you're a human and we all do it.

If this happened to a colleague I'd think I'm glad it wasn't me, but I'd not think anything more honestly I really would just forget it.

I am convinced I passed my driving test because the examiner farted the whole way round and I politely ignored it

It happens OP, no one will even remember

I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you fart in a meeting, just say, in your best pompous voice "And I want that minuting!" Works every time (and I speak from experience).

Next time you do that, spin round and look at the person next to you in astonishment

Literally everyone will have forgotten by now, and they all do it too. It’s really nothing to bother about.

One of my yoga classmates has a habit of letting rip. No one cares.

Were you taking the speed bumps a bit aggressively or something?

”And I want that minuting” 😂😂

Thank you all. I’m still not over it, but I’m starting to feel better!

I wish it had been with someone I don’t see very often like the hairdresser - not all my work colleagues. Oh the shame is back …

Mate if it was like half the work meetings I have to attend it was probably the most interesting input 😂

@Justmuddlingalong I must be at that age too now. I feel like my body is starting to let me down in little ways like this recently 😞.

Oh OP don't feel bad. I did it in the staff room at work. No warning it just popped out. I was mortified! Not least because it was, shall we say, fragrant, and it lingered.

You sound like my sort of person OP! I find farts, especially unexpected ones, hilarious.

I'm absolutely going to do this should it happen to me

I had bowel surgery 3 years and went from total fart control to zero control or even warning. I surprise myself most of the time! I carry on as normal and let it go (literally!).

😂😂😂

When we were kids, if nan got up out of the chair to go into another room, she used to Trump virtually every step. Of course, we thought it was hysterical.

Now it's my turn and unfortunately at the age I am now, they often really surprise you, they just suddenly pop out and there's nothing you can do about it.

Fortunately, many of my friend's have similar experiences, so I'm definitely not alone!

Op I have just seen a video of my adult ds wearing a Rudolph thong at the staff Xmas party....
A fart is a small indiscretion in comparison..

When I was heavily pregnant with my second child I lost all grip of my farts. They just used to shout out of me as I trudged fatly around. Maternity is such a magical time.

My mum's old pet dog used to do that😂

I farted in an exercise class, it just popped out without any warning.
A few weeks later a person next to me did an even louder one, nothing was said but I wondered if they thought it was me again.
