To ask DP to stop farting on the new sofa?

Not the most pleasant topic but our last sofa was really stinky where my DP sat (same spot all the time). Every time he sat down there’s be a woosh of stale fart/cabbage smell & I could smell it at other times too. I hate it! I’m pregnant as well so I can smell everything even more now!

The new sofa is starting to go the same way I’ve asked him to stop farting on the sofa & to plump up the cushion & flip it occasionally but he’s not too happy about this! 😁

Anyone else have the same issue? Any ideas too for how to combat this? The sofa has been treated with anti stain stuff so I don’t think we’re meant to wipe it down. I also tried febreeze sprays on the last sofa but it didn’t cut it.

For those of you who find farting amusing look up Le Petomane.

Also: Roland the Farter. There has not, nor ever will be, a better word for a fart than a 'bumbulum', which it was Roland's job to provide in the royal courts.

Oh this thread, I can hardly breathe for laughing! 😂 😂 😂

Agree, absolutely foul though!

@nosswith

There is this thing called a toilet. Where you can fart. Does your DP need directions?
I would refuse to be made to banish myself to the toilet every time a good ripper of s fart was beckoning.

Thanks for this thread. 😃 I had been thinking recently that I actually missed some of the good d fart discussions we used to have. They had kind of got lost or forgotten amongst all of the Covid stuff.

So now I have learned that farts embed in the sofa! What happens when you go to bed and they escape when you are asleep? They must embed in the duvet and the mattress.

Absolutely glad I’m single after reading that

He needs reinforced underpants and Febreze the sofa

Can faecal particles get past two layers of clothing though? Confused

He needs charcoal pants

I think it's possible you locked in the farts with the Febreze spray and they were then expelled when your husband sat back down.

GurpsAgain · 24/11/2020 05:13

Oh my word.

I think it's quite clear however that they should be called 'bum crumbs'.

Two options; a commode in the lounge or a butt plug for dh. Personally I'd LTB.
