farted, loudly, whilst I was behind him Shock.

Lots of people in front of him in the aisle, but just me behind him, and he let rip.

I was too surprised to come up with a decent remark so I just walked past him sporting my best cat's bum face.

AIBU for shopping in Tesco? Does this sort of thing happen in other supermarkets?

Only the ones that allow men in.

Its hard to tell round my way with the number of squeaky slippers. My dad used to do this alot. Silent but deadly and a smell I KNEW was him... he would walk past and say "code one clear the area" and then run off.. leaving me to look as though I had just emptied by bowels in the cereal aisle.

He was 50 too. Should of knew better.

Skank. Did you say 'excuse me, I think you just dropped something?'

WorraLiberty · 04/05/2012 17:20

This happened in Morrisons once

The woman at the checkout behind me pushed her trolley to the end and let out a ripper-roo. It was fucking vile and the smell lingered way longer than she did.

I was embarrassed cos I just know people thought it was me Blush Hmm

You woukdn't get it in Waitrose.
We are like the queen...we do not fart.

Anniegetyourgun · 04/05/2012 17:21

Mm, Worra, that wouldn't be in the South East somewhere would it? A stout, middle-aged woman with short mainly-brown hair?

It wasn't like it slipped out, it was a proper let rip fart.

I didn't say anything - I was too shocked.

I possibly needed smelling salts to help me over the vapours......

DH happily does this. He says he saves it up for the meat counter (he's vegi) and then shoots off.

We do not have a Waitrose. We are not posh enough.

I would love a Waitrose.

A man did this to me the other day - but he actually cocked his leg first! Grin

Anniegetyourgun · 04/05/2012 17:24

Er, probably not... but I do shop in Morrison's and I have occasionally been known to... not on purpose you understand.

My dh has been known to let rip in Tesco.
He braps loudly them exclaims "was that YOU??!" while gaping at me in shock.
I hate him.

"Dammit Sir you've just farted in front of my wife!"

"Sorry old chap I hadn't realised it was her turn."

Hahahaha Grin

Viva: as a fellow veggie I love your DH :)

lucyellensmumnamechange · 04/05/2012 17:36

Yuck thats just vile i have a great sense of humour i do, and im VERY broadminded, but i have a humour bypass when it comes to the F word i dont knwo why but it makes my teeth itch. We pass the blame to the dog in this house

iphoned · 04/05/2012 17:36

Ah I love a good farting thread on a friday. I do find I tend to slip a few when I'm walking around tesco. They must release some kind of fart inducing air from the ceiling. I have never farted in any other supermarket.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 04/05/2012 17:38

I would have laughed I'm afraid.

You've reminded me.... I was with my DDs in a cafe once and the guy at the next table (bum facing us) lifted one bum cheek and parped, put it back, lifted the other and did a double parp. One of my daughters leaned over, tapped him on the shoulder and said "why not have a third go for luck but could he warn us first next time so we could clear the area....." He had the grace to Blush

justinhawkinsnavalfluff · 04/05/2012 17:47

Grin laughing so hard I nearly farted!
