DH has a new car and no one is allowed to fart in it. Is he BU?

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?

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

I've laughed about that sketch regularly since I saw it years and years ago, nobody ever knows what I'm talking about! Grin

OP your DH may be forcing into a life of crime!

kaitlinktm · 03/03/2016 15:42

These people who can clench so effectively - they must have anuses of steel. I suppose it depends on the length of the journey though.

Get him one of these OP Grin

... and one of these

... and the whole family had better be kitted out with these:

I threaten to stop the car & make DS walk if he farts in my car. He now warns me in advance so I can open all the windows first Grin

TinklyLittleLaugh · 03/03/2016 15:43

Long ago DH tried to stop me and the DC's eating fish and chips in the new car on a miserable rainy trip to the coast.

That didn't go well.

Muskey · 03/03/2016 15:45

Really what are you supposed to do. Squeeze tightly and hope for the best.

diddl · 03/03/2016 15:51

How often do people fart such that this would be a problem though?

Destinysdaughter · 03/03/2016 15:56

Buy some whoopee cushions for your kids, hours of hilarity will ensue...!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/03/2016 16:15

Kaitlin Those minty fart pants would put you off polos for life. Shock

CreamofTartar · 03/03/2016 16:16

Just how flatulent are you all???

CigarsofthePharoahs · 03/03/2016 16:44

You know what you have to do now, don't you?
Hide a piece of Stinking Bishop cheese under the drivers seat.
A few farts will smell like roses in comparison to that.
I should point out, I am quite evil.

doceodocere · 03/03/2016 16:50

I would delight in feeding my children soya mince, cabbage and Baked beans the night before a long journey with dad in the new car.

NinaSimoneful · 03/03/2016 17:03

Your DH and I would get along well Grin

BrainSurgeon · 04/03/2016 19:47

Wow lots of replies, sorry for disappearing!

Kaitlink thanks for the ideas love the sign! I'm so getting one!

Well, we are quite a gassy bunch I'm afraid, I am lactose intolerant but not terribly good at checking the labels of everything I eat... So yeah on a half an hour car journey the likelihood is something will "come up"!

As for DS, he has yet to learn how to clench. His father tried to explain in great detail how it's done, but to no avail. Well I almost cried laughing so it was worth it Grin

BrainSurgeon · 04/03/2016 19:49

I hasten to add that the mitigation I came up with is that the person responsible for the stench has to open the window immediately.
Works like magic (not) Grin

Love the idea of Minion far gun and "fart stops". DH hates having to stop (on long journeys) for things like loo breaks, so this would drive him mad GrinGrinGrin

honeylulu · 04/03/2016 20:15

Hahaha this is really funny. Is he for real? I try not to let rip in confined spaces but if I was told I "wasn't allowed" I would deliberately try and squeeze one out just for the hell of it (and hope I didn't follow through).

BrainSurgeon · 04/03/2016 20:33

He is totally for real!!! Like he gets really wound up when it happens!

I am secretly rofl-ing inside every time and wouldn't dream of stopping it. Better out than in is my mantra!

OP posts:
mineofuselessinformation · 04/03/2016 20:44

Does ds have to make 'nee narr' noises if he does let one go? Grin

tealoveryum · 04/03/2016 21:50

Opening the car window is the better way OP :)

SaucyJack · 04/03/2016 21:53

Has it got leather seats?

Farting on to leather is one of life's true pleasures.

It's practically spousal abuse to deny you it. LTB.

hmcAsWas · 04/03/2016 21:56

I feel so sorry for your dh and think that perhaps we should swap partners BrainSurgeon? - because fart smells (other than my own which are glorious) can literally make me gag. We have a no fart zone in the car too

Teaandcakeat8 · 04/03/2016 21:57

This is hilarious... My ex dp and I both picked up new cars the same day. I was forbidden from any food or drink in his but 2 days later he started eating a McDonald's breakfast in my front seat! Apparently I shouldn't have shouted at him as my car cost less...

Clearly a sign of bad things to come Hmm

SlinkyVagabond · 04/03/2016 21:58

Oh please buy a remote controlled fart machine and locate the farty bit under his seat. Hours of fun!
