I know you're going to say AIBU...some of you will act outraged that I don't think it's "normal" to fart in front of your oh. But think it's disgusting.

Dh's STINK and I have lost count of the times I have asked him to do it in another room...he never frigging does.

I'm in the dining room on the comp. he's in the sitting room watchingrtv...he came in, made a drink, farted and left! I told him off
WHY????? DOES HE DO THIS???

It's ranker than rank! I think people should do it in the toilet because it's related to shitting...in fact it is the brother of shitting....a fart is the SOUL of a shit expired prior to the actual shit....and they all belong in the TOILET AIBU???

Fart where ever you like.

MadCap · 18/10/2013 23:13

We laugh at farts in this house.

ICameOnTheJitney · 18/10/2013 23:13

Don't you MIND smelling someone's shit while you are just chilling out? Confused do you enjoy it? It massively upsets me.

SPsTombRaidingWithCliff · 18/10/2013 23:14

I wouldn't expect people to run to the loo to fart.

ICameOnTheJitney · 18/10/2013 23:14

Also....how much is normal? DH does it about 3 times an hour.

You keep count?

ICameOnTheJitney · 18/10/2013 23:17

Nickel but it disgusts me! I find it so gross...I can't help that...do you all just sit there...sniffing up the gases from your family's bowels with smiles on your faces?

YABU.
I'm not quite of the wherever you may be let your wind fly free persuasion but with someone you are that intimate with it really is nothing.

Salmotrutta · 18/10/2013 23:19

I agree OP.

I think it's quite discourteous frankly.

SinisterMatic · 18/10/2013 23:19

The soul of a shit! Haha!

ClaraOswald · 18/10/2013 23:20

If it happens it happens. It's a normal bodily function.

However, if it is being used as a chemical weapon, being stored until it reaches mustard gas acidity before being released then no, that is not acceptable.

gamerchick · 18/10/2013 23:22

I have to admit I'm going to use the soul of a shit irl the first chance I get Grin

ICameOnTheJitney · 18/10/2013 23:22

It's not being used as a weapon....but it's bad! And I don't think I should have to share in it. ALl this talk of it being a normal function annoys me! Who decided they were acceptable! I don;t think they are...I think they're horrible. They come out of the ARSE! I don't want that near my nose!

GobbySadcase · 18/10/2013 23:23

Oh ok. Just realised who the OP is. Finds all kinds of things offensive. Including my kids. Time to bow out I think.

mousmous · 18/10/2013 23:24

yabu
normal bodily function. and it's his home, too.

ICameOnTheJitney · 18/10/2013 23:24

Soul of a Shit tell me that's not a spirit.

ColderThanAWitchsTitty · 18/10/2013 23:24

It's rude to walk in a room and fart and then leave

gamerchick · 18/10/2013 23:25
