to fart in company in my own home

My SIL is staying with us at the moment. Yesterday I got trapped wind and it was really painful. Rather than suffer the pain, when it was ready to release itself I let it. Rather a lot I'm afraid Blush. My DH was disgusted that I had done that in front of his sister but I didn't want to leave the room in my own home and I was in pain!

Was I BU or did he have a point?

IT'S JUST A GREAT BIG STRINGY BOGEY!!!!

Absolutely Maisie

Glitterknickaz · 06/01/2011 22:15

Depends.
I've had trapped wind so bad that I couldn't move at all, I'd have had to do it in situ then.

If it wasn't like that then YABU

After doing it did you say "two sniffs of that and you are greedy"

Sorry thought of it in the bath, made me laugh! ha ha ha ha ha ha

Are you jim royale?

MsKLo · 06/01/2011 22:54

Fart? I neverrrrr fart so i wouldnt know...

nikki1978 · 06/01/2011 23:04

I am not a fart prude but I only fart in front of dh and the kids. Anything else is just rude. Plus when I fart I kill all living organisms within a 10 meter radius. Seriously. I think I should see a doctor.....

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 06/01/2011 23:04

Do you just gently puff out rose petals and perfume? Grin

ohnoshedittant · 06/01/2011 23:05

YABU

Yuck

nikki1978 · 06/01/2011 23:06

Did you know the average person farts 15 times a day?

tethersend · 06/01/2011 23:09

Pull my finger

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 06/01/2011 23:13

Oh good - I'm not average

If she had farted like that in front of you and you'd be happy .....then YANBU

I wouldn't invite you to dinner if you thought farting on the sofa was acceptable but then you'd probably not wish to come :)

TBH it's about respecting your company - if they are cool with it, then fart away

BertieBotts · 06/01/2011 23:15

As my friend put on her facebook status the other day...

"It's my house and I will fart if I want to, you would fart too if it happened to you"

glastocat · 06/01/2011 23:17

That's really vile. Nothing wrong with dropping one accidentally, but to know it was coming and not even be arsed to go to the loo /another room is just revolting.

MrsPennySworth · 06/01/2011 23:18

If someone who doesn't normally fart in front of you let rip wouldn't it make you laugh? Not even a tiny little bit ... ? That would brighten up my day tbh Grin

MrsPennySworth · 06/01/2011 23:20

Lol at flabby chic and Bertiebotts !

FabbyChic · 06/01/2011 23:21

Sorry I hope it wasn't wet.

:0

MrsPennySworth · 06/01/2011 23:22

"FABBYchic!!" damn predictive text!!!!

NormalityBites · 06/01/2011 23:23

Ewwwwwww you didn't Shock

I would have left.

tethersend · 06/01/2011 23:23

Better an empty house than a lousy tenant.

goodasgold · 06/01/2011 23:31

Did you waft it at her afterwards?

My dh always says wafft instead of waft.

You should have put a duvet over her head first and billowed it up to her.

Waffting.

aristomache · 06/01/2011 23:35

Should have given her a cupcake!! Grin

2rebecca · 06/01/2011 23:38

Yuk. Very chavvy. You should have left the room and gone to the toilet as it would only have caused a few seconds discomfort.
Shows your SIL the sort of woman you are I suppose.
I have little respect for anyone who chooses to fart in front of me. Degrading and uncivilised.

mamalino · 06/01/2011 23:40

I hope you didn't "follow through".

Yuck
