He's dead serious about it too. DS aged 7 is being told off if he lets one rip.

I and half amused half incredulous.

Apparently the "foul stench" stays in the car forever and he hates it.

Is he BU?

No he is not being unreasonable. However, he should provide bungs as one enters the vehicle.

GenerationX2 · 03/03/2016 14:32

no - there is nothing better than the new car smell - you don't want to ruin it with fart smell Grin.

MitzyLeFrouf · 03/03/2016 14:32

He's right. It will hide in the boot like a ghostly spectre. A big sad faced fart ghost.

AdoraBell · 03/03/2016 14:32
Grin

Tell him no one is allowed to fart in the house as the stench gets into the walls and never leaves

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 03/03/2016 14:35

How else do you provide your own personal in-car heating??? Confused

Also can act as a car jacker deterrent (Smack the pony sketch)

AdoraBell · 03/03/2016 14:36

Oh, and that "new car" smell that my DH some people like so much is caused by gasses coming off the plastic. These gasses can be toxic.

Farts are completely natural Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2016 14:36

Ha! wait until your son treads in dog's poo at the park and manages to wipe the offending shoe all over the back of the driver's seat. Yes, I am talking from experience...ugh..the stench.

Can't he get a tree air freshener like everyone else?

Cocolepew · 03/03/2016 14:41
Grin My dad gt a new car last year. He spent the whoe time teling my DDs and my nephew to 'mind the Mercs doors! " everytime they opened them. They are all teens and have managed to open car doors most of their lives without mishaps. A few months later he tore the whole side of it off driving into past a skip.
BippityBoppityBullshit · 03/03/2016 14:44

Haha, id make a family Mexican bean heavy meal and dutch oven the car Grin

Drew64 · 03/03/2016 14:48

Everyone knows, It's an un written law that farting in an enclosed space is funny/unacceptable...
Would you fart in a lift?

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 03/03/2016 14:53

Then he needs to splash out on heated seats.

Tight git.

SnozzberryWibble · 03/03/2016 14:54

Get a Maccy D's and eat it in the car, or use it to go and collect a Dominos pizza or a kebab... The fast food smell lingers forever and will soon overpower that heady new car smell... Then he wont care about the farts :D

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2016 14:55

Some people think it's funny to fart a leaving present as they leave a lift drew Grin

Tescos sell a car freshener called 'new car frangrance'. You could buy him one of those but they smell foul.

acasualobserver · 03/03/2016 14:55

I imagine this will be a very difficult rule to enforce. I can also see difficulties if there are two or three passengers and one emits a silent fart - how will your husband be sure about the guilty party?

diddl · 03/03/2016 14:57

Unless one of you has bowel problems &?or frequently make long journeys than it's not even an issue, is it?

AdoraBell · 03/03/2016 14:59

Do make sure he tells any adult passengers too OP, like his parents/friends/colleagues Grin

TheWitchwithNoName · 03/03/2016 15:00

Please buy your DS a minions fart gun!

ComeonSummer1 · 03/03/2016 15:02

Can you wear your shoes In there?Grin

BishopBrennansArse · 03/03/2016 15:04

Eat lots of beans and fart your head off, OP Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2016 15:08

Will he be happy to make 'fart stops' on long journeys so passengers can let rip at the side of the road?

donajimena · 03/03/2016 15:09

If anyone farted in my car they could get out and walk. Its disgusting and a 7 year old can clench.
I can't stand people who think its ok to inflict the smell of their bowels on someone else (illness and bowel conditions are an exception)
I am not uptight about wind and find it quite funny when someone is a safe distance away. But 'dutch oven' or announcing ones imminent arrival. Grow up ffs and learn some manners

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2016 15:12

It's quite possible dh clenched all the way home in his nice new car but he may be writhing around in agony later with trapped wind Smile

RudeElf · 03/03/2016 15:13

Are you supposed to hang your arse out the window then?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2016 15:16

I think that's called a Moonie RudeElf In a moving car, it's a traffic offence and you would be liable for prosecution Wink
