Should I fart in the office?

useruseruseruseruseruseruser · 31/10/2018 21:05

I am referring to a home office, but still, I share it with DH.

He has popped to the loo. Could I let rip here and hope it's not a smelly one? Grin

Too busy reading MN to give a rip where I give a rip!!!

Anyone?!

Do you usually ask for permission to fart in your own home?

useruseruseruseruseruseruser · 31/10/2018 21:15

No, but I wondered if I ought to do it in a room DH will be so soon returning to?

I'm just being lazy, basically!!!

Why not go to the loo??

kawla · 31/10/2018 21:16

Sometimes I worry about people...

ileclerc · 31/10/2018 21:17

Why wouldn't you?

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 31/10/2018 21:17

So you don't fart in a room your husband is in?

useruseruseruseruseruseruser · 31/10/2018 21:18

There's only one loo and DH is in it!

Can only hope he's in there for the long haul, so if I do a smelly one, the air will clear a bit.

If it's a very small subtle one, but I have reason to believe, given what I had for dinner, that it's going to be a paint-peeler Grin

Definitely fart.

Or, if he's back shortly, cupcake him.

Topseyt · 31/10/2018 21:19

Of course you should fart in your home office if you want to, regardless of who shares it.

Just let rip. It's only a fart. An innocent bit of wind.

DailyMailDontStealMyThread · 31/10/2018 21:20

Do it in to a drawer or box file.

Won’t look dodgy at all

What's that? I don't know about cupcaking?!

Don't do it in the office you share! It's a bit grim

WickedLazy · 31/10/2018 21:21

Go for it, unless your like my ex, who farted in my living room earlier (over 45 minutes ago), and it still smells like the cat crapped in there 😷

SawnUpLooRoll · 31/10/2018 21:21

Cupcaking is when you fart into your cupped hand and then thrust it under their nose. You can also say 'Cupcake!' for extra flourish.

Dextrodependant · 31/10/2018 21:22

Just let it out, you wouldn't want to explode

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 31/10/2018 21:23

Do people actually not fart in front of their husband/wife/partner?

Mind, blown

Iaimtomisbehave1 · 31/10/2018 21:23

He's been in the bathroom for 15 minutes. Is he ok? Or is this an attempt at a joke?

SawnUpLooRoll · 31/10/2018 21:24

Do it in to a drawer or box file.

I AM DOING THIS IN DH'S DESK NEXT TIME I GET A CHANCE.

Can't believe I hadn't realised this was an option before.

Topseyt · 31/10/2018 21:25

Blimey, I didn't know about cupcaking. You learn something new every day.Grin

My friend used to have a cat called Cupcake.

I imagine thrusting a handful of cat under someone's nose will get you a similar reaction...

I would faint if he came out that soon! He reads in there. More like 40 minutes most of the time. I am just waiting to make sure he's going Number 2, giving me time to fart and clear the atmosphere. If he's only in there for Number 1, it could be grim for him Grin
