To have flatuated while passing someone in the supermarket?

[PARPandMoveOn]

I was in the supermarket quite early this morning, so it wasn't very busy.

In one aisle I could feel a fart coming on and it just so happened I was passing the only other person in that part of the aisle.

I don't know whether anyone else gets this, (I don't very often) but thinking about doing it really made me laugh inside and I had to fight hard to keep the laugh from escaping, and I silently dropped one while I passed them

Now I feel really, really bad that I was so infantile to amuse myself by potentially causing discomfort or embarrassment to another person while they were innocently chosing which fabric softener they should buy.

I can never make it up to the person, so how can I redeem myself and shake off the guilt?

Like the wind, it will pass.

We call this a fart and run .

I enjoy walking past people and farting
It is fun

I'm not on my own then? That makes me feel a bit better for my antisocial behaviour

I promise I will beertricks, in a loud voice I'll clearly say 'I DO APOLOGISE MOST SINCERELY FOR DROPPING THAT RATHER LARGE CHEEK FLAPPER' and ignore the open mouths and death stares.

YABU to use the word "flatulated"

I agree I was trillian, I was trying to be mindful of other peoples delicate sensibilities given my misdemeanour.

Did I go a step too far?

I'll take that as a yes then

A discreet 'guff stroll' is an art. Mastering it while shopping is multi-tasking at it's best :)

Love it!

My 84 year old gran is always letting one slip out at inappropriate moments, but instead of letting it pass she shouts 'oh pardon me' so everyone knows it was her. I have the joy of taking her to the supermarket tomorrow so I'm sure she'll drop at least one while we're there.

I think I love your gran roomon

Where's the joy of being 84 if you can't drop and claim without shame??

Can't wait til I'm older.

Am suffering ante natal farting at the mo and let one go whilst talking to a stranger yesterday! she couldn't have not heard it but I just carried on talking. it didn't smell. can I be absolved as well?

My husband derives huge pleasure from farting whilst parallel passing pedestrians. Preferably audibly!

What is this 'fart' you speak of?
Never ever heard one of those.... lol

roomon - your Gran reminds me of my Grandad, although he used to let them go thinking he was doing it on the sneak, but he was deaf and they were always real......cheek slappers.

We used to be in hysterics. This thread has made me laugh and brought back good memories of Grandad and his wind!

This thread has cheered me up too!

My dad has started doing it too- claims he can't help it due to age- he calls it doing a 'granny roomonthebroom'. He stood up on the train recently and farted in someone's face. I still laugh uncontrollably when I think of it. DH is asking what's so funny...

Smallwhitecat, my DD does the same. She also cups her hand and wafts the smell of her own farts towards hers (or my!) nose saying 'smell that!' which she has learned from DH.

My family have disgusting habits!

Consider yourself part of the other person's diet program. That'll be one fewer isle of potential treats you've steered them away from. Pat yourself on the back.

NOT TOO HARD you stinky bugger...

DH does really smelly ones, then runs off so everyone around thinks it's me. I let one slip the other day when I thought it was safe, but then someone kept blooming following me along the veg aisle as it was beyond the point of no return, so I just had to walk off for a few mins

Sometimes I am in a shop with dh and he sidles up to me urgently hissing that it's time to "Move on" Move away!". He means he has farted and we need to evacuate the immediate area.
