To think it’s rude to comment when somebody farts?

Surely the polite thing is to ignore? I hate DH going on about it. I find it really embarrassing.

His farts or your farts?

Honestly the normal response in our household is giggling.

Completely agree!!!

Not if it’s a DP, if it’s in work I would ignore it (out of politeness if it was not deliberate).

Ruder to fart than to comment on it I would have said

Laughter or 'pardon me' is the only response. Ignoring it would be weird in our house.

I agree @Casmama and I don’t make a habit of it but I have to SOMETIMES!

Surely it’s really awkward to ignore the fart?! Like the elephant in the room

My Nana who I love dearly farts loudly. We're talking leg raised, scrunched up face, loud farts. I have never once said anything, not made a face, smirk or remark. I just couldn't.

But DH gets in trouble for farting next to me.

omg i would divorce him

He goes on about it because he knows you are embarrassed about it. The way I see it you have 3 options…1) Stop farting in front of your DH. 2) Let one rip loudly right in his face or 3) LTB.

When I say gets in trouble, I just mean I say ewww and if its particularly smelly to leave the room for the next one.
In trouble sounds a bit controlling, not how it was meant and definitely not how our household is.

It depends on the context. Member of your household at home, yes comment. Work colleague in a meeting or elderly person during conversation, ignore.

What do you mean he goes on about it? Do you need to see a doctor?

If you fart audibly in public it’s fair game IMO. If you want it to be discreet, then do it discreetly

It depends who's doing it. where they are doing it and if it smells.

We need more context OP.

If you don't want him to mention it, don't fart in front of him.

If one of us farts, we'll say "pardon me" then that's that.

I mean you have a fart based username so you can't be that modest about your farts

Seriously. How can anyone keep quiet when somebody farts?

A fart deserves a response consistent with the volume, or worse, odour.

I'll get my coat.

My FB newsfeed had an article on it today about a woman who held her farts in around her new partner, and ended up in hospital!

I ignore them in polite company. But if you know your audience, a decent ripper can have people laughing for ages.

Farts are funny and ignoring it is weird. Usually we all blame each other though in our house

I don’t fart in front of him deliberately but he tends to follow me around so it’s hard to avoid him entirely.

Haha you wouldn't like our household. We have a laugh about farts with all family. They are at the end of the day a bodily function and they are better out than in!

Could be worse. My 8 year old blames his farts on our cat. Our cat who has been dead since October. He claims the cat is haunting him. Well they do smell a bit sulphurous.

I wouldn't comment if a stranger/work colleague did but my DH is fair game if it particularly stinks

If you feel so self conscious about it can you not do to the bathroom?

Or just laughter about it.
