Farted on bus loudly, rude comments? AIBU to feel this was unnecessary?

This is an embarrassing post. On a bus (not crowded) yesterday. I had a dodgy stomach that appeared during the morning with loud farts.

Unfortunately during part of the journey I let off a loud and a bit smelly fart. Cue two women nearby one saying loudly "that's disgusting, who would smell like that, who would do that, dirty bitch" with a pointed look at me and looking away. I got off the bus feeling a bit embarrassed went to a toilet in a department store, went to the toilet and cleaned myself up (it wasn't as bad as I thought it was) got hand sanitizer and took some anti-diarrhoea pills.

AIBU to think this one woman was really rude or am I being over sensitive? It was one of those routemaster buses she said something about opening the windows but they don't have windows... That's not my fault and I had no idea my stomach was so bad.

Thanks

Definitely gives the impression you shat yourself.

ffs , the op wasn't well hardly her fault is it ? some of you people have rose scented farts obviously and from what you are saying makes you as bad as the stupid women on the bus ! farting smells aren't the nicest thing to be near, but it is a natural bodily function, and can't be helped. just ignore and get on with your own lives instead of making stupid hurtful comments - rant over - Smile hope you feel better now super Flowers

I must admit I agree with whoever wondered why anyone would post about this.

DonaldStott · 20/11/2016 12:00

No not out loud, but I probably would have thought it. And your contradictions:

went to a toilet in a department store, went to the toilet and cleaned myself up (it wasn't as bad as I thought it was

Then you said you hadn't pooped in you knicks.

JinkxMonsoon · 20/11/2016 12:00

I can't believe this thread Grin

What you did was disgusting. You may not have been able to help it, but it was disgusting. No need to get all butthurt (pardon the pun) about people calling you disgusting. You'll never see them again.

SuperFlyHigh · 20/11/2016 12:01

Geillus the diarrhoea came afterwards it wasn't on the bus... I thought it was but wasn't.

I've got ibs and it can be very painful to hold wind/diarrhoea in, but I manage it!

SuperFlyHigh · 20/11/2016 12:01

Sorry OP, but I'd expect comments if I shat myself on a bus.

That doesn't mean it's right....but come on!

SuperFlyHigh · 20/11/2016 12:03

BratFarrarsPony · 20/11/2016 12:04

well it was disgusting.....sorry.

do not worry you will never see these women again and i am sure their farts/shits do not smell like flowers.

I would not give it another thought except to laugh about it, honestly.

hollyatchristmas · 20/11/2016 12:04

Would people think it okay to call you a dirty bitch if you were sick, or if you fainted and people missed their stop call you an inconsiderate bitch?

WellErr wait so it's ok for her to call me a dirty bitch?

If I'd felt well enough I'd have lamper her one for calling me a bitch. Not on. The comments and looks maybe they were justified. Not my fault no windows.

stitchglitched · 20/11/2016 12:04

You can't help being ill but I am very sensitive to smells and would have retched if I'd been stuck on a bus with someone doing stinky farts.

They shouldn't have called you names though.

opheliaamongthelillies · 20/11/2016 12:05

You should have just said "well- whoever smelt it - dealt it!" as we used to at school.

SuperFlyHigh · 20/11/2016 12:05

Exactly holly it was more her calling me a bitch whether dirty or otherwise that got my goat. Why do that?

Buses smell generally anyway. Well a few do.
