So embarrassed

[Firsttimemum777]

Was at the in laws family do. About 8 people there and grandad was taking a picture of our 8 month old. I accidentally let out a big fart. My OH looked at me in shock then looked at the dog to try and put the blame on him. As did I. I think everyone in the room was pretty sure it was me though.

I’m mortified. We had to leave early to get DS to bed. Now I’m worried they were all laughing about me when we left.

If it happens to me I quickly say "Anyone got a match?"

It seems to clear the atmosphere, as it were.

A really great punchline to this scene. It's from the show Dear John.

I would have just laughed at myself. It'll be forgotten soon enough OP. And if it isn't just laugh and joke alone with everyone else. No need to be embarrassed, it's just a human bodily thing

Next time just own it OP. ;)

Trash please do not act the bully and then complain when someone calls you up on it

Where did I complain?

Have you read my OP. I was being sarcastic as I thought the OP was being overly dramatic.

She came on the AIBU board, and I thought she was BU.

I'm not really arsed about the responses to me. So I haven't 'complained' that I have been 'called out' on it 🙄

Id have just said something like “gosh I’m so sorry, that slipped out, that’s really embarrassing!”

Oh gosh OP...sorry you're embarrassed, but honestly, I'd have just laughed if it had been me and owned it 😂😂 I'm very puerile though, and do find farts funny. (In my job you have to laugh!) 😂

💐 for you though x

I was having dinner last summer at my partners grandparents (we live in a very hot country and it was about 40 degrees) and i had a pair of thin cotton shorts on. I cant remember what we were laughing at but my partners Granddad noticed i came on my period not only were my shorts covered but the seat cushion was as well!

Don't worry OP.

I'm sure that it won't be mentioned when you next see your family.

These things happen

Oh OP. Come round my family's house for a do. You'll fit right in. My mother served strong spring onions with our buffet and it had a terrible effect on my brother and my husband. My dad kept blaming my brother's pregnant GF. My son couldn't contain his laughter, my mother rolling her eyes....just got to own it and go with it

Blimey, I'm a vegan, with irritable bowel, so I should leave the country. Though on the plus side, if I leave in a sailing boat, at least there won't be a lack of wind. 😳

Although I wouldn't deliberately fart in the sane room as other people, simply because I sometimes turn myself with the smell, sometimes the odd one escapes. Don't worry, op, it happens and even if they do have a giggle, it will soon be forgotten about.

I would be embarrassed too OP. Obviously everyone knows it's natural bla bla bla but I don't even let them out in front of my own mum!

diddl.
yes

Well that's why you get a dog!

Ha ha! All these posters saying it will be forgotten. It won't! That's part of the fun of farts! It doesn't matter either way though! I'm an old bird and I remember a student farting when I was doing my training when I was eighteen. I remember her name and when and where it occurred! She is quite famous in her field now but all I remember is her farting at the pre-Christmas drinks party when she was a student!
I fart occasionally and just say "Marrow" immediately after as in Victoria Wood's sketch with the farting postman. Life's too short to worry about the odd guff gaff

20 years on and my DD and I still giggle about my ‘chemo fart’ in the middle of a a quiet WHSmith in a London station. (For those who don’t know, when you’re having chemo your farts are particularly smelly.)
I felt a fart coming so wandered away from people to quietly let it go. Unfortunately it was incredibly loud and long. I managed to keep a straight face but turned around to see most of the other people in the shop looking at each other and convulsing in laughter. No-one suspected it was me!

"have that one on me"

My commuter train this morning was hellish. At one point the stench was so bad I had to cover my mouth as it was making me cough.

I only admitted to a coworker a few months ago that back when we'd started our job together (disability support) i'd snuck into the kitchen area to let out one of the worst smelling farts ive ever done. To my horror she had come in not long after me and i was trying to act busy while she started sniffing the air and hovering around clients. Instead of owning up when she declared a client needed to be changed i followed them down to the bathroom and feigned surprise when it turned out client hadn't done anything lol
These days i'd probably try to go in a different room but would just laugh if one slipped out.

"[Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford], making of his low obeisance to Queen Elizabeth, happened to let a Fart, at which he was so abashed and ashamed that he went to Travel [for] 7 years. On his return the Queen welcomed him home, and said, 'My Lord, I had forgot the Fart'."

I would find that hilarious OP, you should have dramatically wafted it away from you to add to the comedy!

Oh no! It’s embarassing OP, but it happens! Sometimes one sneaks past the guard..

They are your family, they won’t hold it against you! Most British people are far too polite to mention it

OP - I am literally crying with laughter here! Unexpected farting cracks me up At least you only did the one!

Years ago I was round at some friends, there was about ten of us having a dinner and drinks together. After dinner, I was sitting on the floor when I unexpectedly farted I felt embarrassed and started laughing to cover up my embarrassment and then proceeded to fart a 21 gun salute in time with my laughs.

My aunt just keys one go mid conversation. Doesn't even blink or try to disguise it
We all do it, although I understand your embarrassment. Silver lining is it obviously wasn't a stinker.

*let's obviously! Who keys a fart!
