To take pride in my stinky farts?

Ok, so I apologize for the TMI, but I have ALWAYS been a super smelly farter. It runs in my family. My mum has the stinkiest farts ever and so do me and my sister. I know it isn't an intolerance, and I do all the things that have been suggested to minimize it, but it's just the way I'm made.

When I was younger I was embarrassed by it, but then I decided that if I can't help it then I shouldn't be ashamed. So now I take pride in the fact that I can stink DH out of a room even though he's a big burly bloke and I'm little petite me. Even when he loads up on Guinness and pub food he can't compete with my stink. The best part is that mine are almost always silent so I will slip them out without him noticing and then laugh like crazy when it hits him.

So, I have to ask, is anyone else like this??

I've had to stop reading this thread and scroll down because laughing this much at 39 weeks preggers is giving me terrible ligament pain

OP, you're not BU to be proud of your stench round your own house, but if you did a stinky one round mine your pride would get short shrift. HTH.

Good god there are some right miserable fuckers on this thread! Leaving your DH if he ever farted in your presence?! Going to the loo every time you need to let rip?! Get a bloody life! It's a bodily function, everyone does it.

I'll never forget my Nana (RIP) on Xmas day some years ago now. She was already in her 90's and was around our place for lunch, she needed to go to the loo and as my mum helped her up from the sofa she let out the longest loudest fart imaginable. She was so prim and proper as well and we all had to pretend we hadn't heard it. It was hysterical!

Farting will will never not be funny. My Beloved has cupped his hands round my arse while I farted into it, then smelled it. We are both four years old.

Tequilashotsfor1 · 14/05/2015 18:54

Farts don't smell of shit though?

Some can smell weird

Some can smell off the depths of hell

My two year old farts smell like a 90 year old mans

Even before I finish eating sprouts I can feel them brewing.

I hate hot farts - even I have to run from the room then !

BareGorillas · 14/05/2015 18:54

Yeah smelly farts are hilarious especially when let off deliberately in a playful way.

There are some fucking weird over sharers on this thread.

RightSideOfWrong · 14/05/2015 18:59

We were in the theatre once with someone who kept farting. I have no idea who, everyone was so well dressed. Everyone was being very prim and no-one said anything but it stank.

Then the guy next to me pulled his t-shirt over his nose and I died laughing. I have no idea what it is about it that set me off....I think because it was such a childish act of revolt against whoever had done it. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 14/05/2015 19:02

Couples that fart together stay together.

We laugh at them here. I'd hold back on letting one if we were in a room full of people but in the comfort of my own home there's no way I'd go to the toilet to trump. Bollocks to that.

And if you don't fart ever how come you haven't combusted? I always thought it was wasn't good to hold in wind all the time.

My farts stink, I have IBS. I release beauties.

If you really are Mrs Prim over farts I hope you never need a operation for haemorrhoids. It does something to your ability to 'hold in'. You can't even tell when one is going to make a bid for freedom. Believe me, I wish you could Sad

Another biscuit vicar comes to mind...

cedricsneer · 14/05/2015 19:25

It really makes me feel sick. So no, not funny. And I find it incredibly easy to hold in a smelly one. I can't be the only person who does?!

BolshierAyraStark · 14/05/2015 19:30

Fuck me, this thread is hilarious.
OP if it makes you laugh YANBU.

fuckingpamela · 14/05/2015 19:31

I really hate it. It actually disgusts me and smelling airborne faeces is totally vomit inducing.

Unless you have a medical problem there really is no excuse for lazy sphincters. Move away and fart somewhere more conscientious.

I have a great sense of humour by the way.

YouBastardSockBalls · 14/05/2015 19:32

That's fucking horrible.

Doobydoo · 14/05/2015 19:34

I have 2 sons 2 dogs and dp ..... Lets just say i xan 'hold my own' should the need ariseGrin

Tequilashotsfor1 · 14/05/2015 19:35

Plus it keep us warm in bed up north!

hmc · 14/05/2015 19:38

I'm with cedricsneer. I am sensitive to bad smells and they can make me gag. If someone farts in a place where I can't escape (on a plane for instance), I have (& will continue) to say loudly "Which disgusting munter did that" and I spray perfume if I have it to hand....

During her first pregnancy my sister singed her pubes lighting her farts

Plastic chair ones are the best. Like fire crackers.

The dcs like nothing more than a game of pull their finger. I pretend to disapprove but their ecstatic giggling is infectious.

I have managed to get through 40 years without letting one go in public but I don't think I'll ever stop finding them funny.

Guiltypleasures001 · 14/05/2015 19:56

I believe these kind of farts are called silent but violent ??

BeaufortBelle · 14/05/2015 19:59

I thought everybody farted, trumped, bottom burped, let off, etc. I thought it was quite natural but you tried not to do it in polite company.

Have none of you ever Dutch Ovenned your partners or children or intervened when your eldest has done it to your youngest. Have none of you had a good belly laugh about it or collapsed in a heap of giggles.

Good lord, the site that collapsed in a heap over PenisBeaker is aghast at a trump. The site where people say it's possible to have sex in a bedsit when the children are asleep. I'm astounded at the prudery.

We are a very windy family - DS's girlfriend once announced she thought "puffing" was disgusting and told DS off sternly. We guffawed and told her that if she was going to spend much time around here she had better get used to it.

TBF I have recently given up wheat and it has made a huge difference - I have stopped trumping.
