Just woke DH up with a massive fart - who IBU?

[BedtimeFarter]

I can’t sleep so MNing in bed. DH asleep next to me. I am on my side turned away from him due to light from phone and suddenly a very loud and long fart (machine gun variety) escapes . Took me rather by surprise or I would have tried to suppress it!

DH jumps up, realises what it was and honestly you’d think I’d crapped the bed or something . He is disgusted and absolutely furious I woke him up as he has to be up for work early, as if I meant to, and has stormed off to sleep downstairs!

AIBU to think he’s being an arse!

Hahaha this made me laugh!
I've done this on a few occasions. The difference is, my DH wakes up in a panic but because I've stopped, he doesn't know what has woken him up and just goes back to sleep while I lie there in silence trying not to laugh.

I think it’s grim to do it in bed.

I think it’s grim to do it in bed.

That's when people fart most, in their sleep. Everyone has to fart, it's a natural body function.

@TeddyBearsPicnic89

But did you snap first?

Never gets old 😂😂

Everybody farts. It's a hilarious natural bodily function and I really don't get people who think it's 'grim' or whatever. I had an acquaintance who wouldn't let her boyfriends fart in the same room as her, including the one she lived with. I cannot imagine being so uptight that a little trump upsets you so much you simply cannot be in the presence of one. How do they cope with their own?

You are not being unreasonable to fart. I would suggest your DH gets several grips.

My DH farted last night in the kitchen and I ran out in fright thinking my DS was crying. DH thought it was so funny but I was really upset!!!

Upset about what?!

What was there to be upset about?

Does your DS crying really sound like a fart?

I am.lactose intolerant...if I have had dairy my farts can clear a room, however dp luckily has a great sense of humour and often wakes me up in the middle of the night with exceptionally loud farts.

Although they are far funnier when he does it and I'm already awake and he scare the bejesus out of himself.

I remember accidently unleashing a silent but deadly in a pub (pre covid). It pretty much cleared out the pub. Luckily it was karaoke night, and everyone was in a merry mood. I had guys coming up to me saying Was that you? I responded by laughing and covering my face. They said Haha Good girl!

My husband does this to me. I know he can't help but it's does cause irrational rage! Though I've never gone downstairs just been vocally Cross. He takes it in good humour knowing I am a grump if my sleep is deprived

Do you have an Alexa? Suggest setting it to fart mode when you hear his key in the door tonight 😂

😂😂😂😂

I was going to ask if this was a reverse.

I would be homicidal to be woken on a Sunday in such a fashion.

I was working in Belgium and decided to pop home for the weekend. I was on a night shift and took the first Eurostar. Got to my seat, immediately fell fast asleep.

Cut to me doing the fart of my lifetime and waking myself up with an ACTUAL jump. I looked around and everyone was either cracking up or trying to politely suppress a fit of giggles. I - still half asleep and thus lacking volume control - basically shouted to the entire carriage “did I just fart?” to which an elderly couple across the aisle from me nodded and the lady said “a most impressive one dear!”

It was the first time I’ve simultaneously cried laughing whilst being so mortified I’ve wanted to evaporate into the abyss.

We have both woken each other up with the SMELL before. Think that is worse than the noise. @Geriatric1234 that sounds very funny oh man….

I've woken DP AND myself up with a particularly loud one before. I could feel him staring at me and I would have got away with it had I not giggled!

@Geriatric1234
@MaintainTheMolehill

These are so funny.🤣🤣🤣

Meh I farted on my DH and I's first date (accidentally!!) I think he needs to get a grip.

It’s probably just because it made him jump and took him out of a deep sleep
Yep - there's a reason sunrise alarm clocks are a thing and fart ones aren't

I'd feel murderous if DP woke me up shortly after I'd gone to sleep - the rules are that house had better be on fire or Zombies are coming up the stairs (and even then, I'd prefer it if he'd take on the undead horde on the landing and let me know about it in the morning). The cause of the waking up - farting, turning over, dropping his phone, moving around, getting into bed, getting out of bed, breathing - is irrelevant, it's the fact I've been startled out of sleep.

On the other hand, though, if somebody is nearly asleep or moves in a particular way (beware posh Yoga studios), it's also something that happens without any possibility of a warning or deciding to try to hold it. Meh. Human biology doesn't care much for our customs and etiquette.

I'm glad I'm not the only adult woman who finds farting funny. I never do it in front of bf but when he does, it makes me giggle. On that basis, yanbu.

Well, thats given me a laugh op. And this comes from someone who lives with two teenage boys and a DH with the mental age of one. Some dinnertimes they seem to re-enact the table scene from the Nutty Professor. I despair at my lack of control and theirs. He is a prima donna op.

You must have been married a while I remember my first proper fart argument. We'd been married 3 years and I was on slimming world which gave me terrible wind. I let out the biggest cabbage-smelling fart under the covers, DH walked in and thought he might get to do the no-pants dance, lifted the covers and it hit him like a brick. He gagged and called me a scruff before telling me he'd sleep in the spare room if I was going to be so mean
It's funny because DH thinks he's hilarious when he farts on me or near me, or at the moment near a fan but when I do it he doesn't like it. It makes me do it more!
Tell him to sod off. If he can't laugh at a fart he's the problem!

@MaintainTheMolehill

Aw I'm sure he will laugh about it tomorrow.

I farted so loud in my sleep that I woke dh up but he just heard a loud noise and spent 10 minutes looking round the house to see what it was. I still haven't owned up

Funny! I can't stop laughing about this

@Topseyt

Of course he is being an arse. Farts like that are comedy gold.

Go and fart again in the living room now.

Feel I've.met my kindred spirit
