AIBU?

to have moved seats after obese woman continously farted through the film?

It was a local village do, she is a nice lady and I had chatted with her before the film as she was sitting next to me. The first couple of farts I tried not to notice. But they kept on coming and it was making me retch. I had no option but to move seats in the break.

I did not confront her and I tried to cover my nose as discreetly as I could but do you think I was rude for not bearing it out until the end of the film?

this made me laff haha

I expect she tried to touch your baby too [extrapolates wildly]

plugplant · 05/02/2013 23:08

I should not have mentioned she was obese, sorry, she is a nice lady. I am mortified by what I did as it is a close knit community. Should I apologise?

Maybe op referred to the obesity because being squashed against her compounded her discomfort with being farted at.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne · 05/02/2013 23:08

Was she eating Greggs?

Dromedary · 05/02/2013 23:08

Not just fat, OBESE - getting into technical body mass index calculations here.

WorraLiberty · 05/02/2013 23:09

Perhaps she was on benefits too?

Contribution based JSA farts smell much sweeter than Income based JSA farts

Another true fact.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne · 05/02/2013 23:09

"Maybe op referred to the obesity because being squashed against her compounded her discomfort with being farted at."

But that's not what she said in the OP.

LouMae · 05/02/2013 23:09

Skinny people's shit smells of roses.

PacificDogwood · 05/02/2013 23:10

Hahahahahaha!

Or rather because I will now have to explain to DH why I just LOL!

iliketea · 05/02/2013 23:11

You've not said how you knew it was her? Unless no-one else was sitting nearby. If there were a few other people around, maybe she assumed that it was you making the stink and was glad you moved?

2rebecca · 05/02/2013 23:12

Why should you apologise? That makes it worse. If she's not inclined to be paranoid she may have thought you moved to get a better view or be near a friend. If she was embarrassed by her farting she'd have gone to the toilet had a good shit and then came back and controlled herself. The anal sphincter should be a voluntary muscle.
If I lose control of mine I'll be staying at home watching DVDs.

Possibly Romanian? Or Polish?

LetsKateWin · 05/02/2013 23:13

Maybe she's on the medication I'm taking to reduce stomach acid.

I don't blame you for moving...

Tweasels · 05/02/2013 23:13

Obese AND nice. Who'd have thought it was possible.

I need to know what film it was.

And no don't apologise, that conversation is just too embarrassing for all involved.

2rebecca · 05/02/2013 23:13

Is this a wind up, how many films have "breaks"?

WorraLiberty · 05/02/2013 23:14

What was the movie called anyway?

Bravefart?

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne · 05/02/2013 23:14

Genuinely lolled at Bravefart.

JoanByers · 05/02/2013 23:15

I wouldn't want to sit next to a fat person.

They take up too much space.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne · 05/02/2013 23:15

Maybe it was Gone With The Wind

iliketea · 05/02/2013 23:15

just woke dh laughing at bravefart!

MechanicalTheatre · 05/02/2013 23:15

Don't apologise! Come on!!!

"Sorry I moved away from you before, but you were farting too much."

REALLY?!

Mollydoggerson · 05/02/2013 23:16

Well shit food makes you fart and it also makes you fat.....maybe the two are connected.

(Fans air wildly around my flabby body and then runs and hides.)
