DH over reacting about public fart

[OnePearlTraybake]

I don’t normally break wind and have very good manners. However, I experienced an unexpected fart whilst out shopping with my husband and son earlier. We were leaving the shop and approaching the car and I broke wind really loudly in the car park. I really didn’t mean to but it was incredibly loud and unfortunately a man happened to be walking right by me whilst returning his trolley and another couple in a nearby car turned as they were loading their shopping in the boot.

I quickly got into the car and stifled my laughter but as DH and son got in they looked very unimpressed. This was several hours ago and it’s still being brought up in conversation. I feel he has completely over reacted by being this shocked and disgusted.

surely it’s not that big a deal?

Make it worse. Tell him it was a fanny fart.

It's not a big deal at all and if you were male I bet the reaction would have been different.

Funnily enough I was just telling my husband my theory about whether relationships can be compatible. And I think a key thing is:
do you find farts funny or disgusting?
If you disagree on this, I'm not sure you are compatible.

Oh my God, this thread has actually brought tears (of laughter) to my eyes. I’m actually quite prim and try not to fart even in front of loved ones but about 6 years ago I was walking through a busy hotel lobby with my dc and did one of those awful raspberry farts that last for several seconds. It felt never ending. I don’t know how we kept our composure and walked through the reception past about 20 people but as soon as we were out of sight we all burst out laughing.

I think it’s the only time I have ever had wind in public and my dc still remind me every so often.

ooh God the only other public fart was doing yoga.

Maybe you could reassure him and say the other people might of presumed a flock of pigeons were taking off.

Your husband is a miserable twat.

Might HAVE shall I say!

This reminds of the time I was working in retail and I had a cold and as I sneezed, my bum decided to sing a loud tune infront of a queue full of customers!
I tried to ride it out with a snooty "excuse me", until I looked along the queue and a huge biker guy was laughing so hard that his entire shoulders were bobbing up and down and he gasped out "How did such a loud noise come from such a little you?" - that was it - everyone including me, starting laughing (I'm barely over 5ft)

Farts in themselves aren't that funny. I no longer have the sphincter control of my youth, and have felt prissily embarrassed when one has accidentally made its way out in public without notice. But THIS^ is fucking hilarious.

I was once caught out by an unexpectedly loud burp in the supermarket. Thought I was letting it out discreetly but a thunderclap of a belch came out. Didn’t know where to put myself.

Tempted to make my son do that;he's on a high protein diet and the farts smell horrendous;he can clear a room

Just deny everything, even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

I can't believe he was still letting rip about it hours later. Surely it would normally have blown over by then?

I don't see why his opinions on this event should automatically trump yours; certainly nothing that should cause your relationship to blow off course.

Once while sitting down on a slatted bench with my sister and a complete stranger, I thought I could let a discrete one go which would disperse through the slats. Unfortunately the vibration travelled down the length of the bench . My sister looked at me in complete disgust. I just burst out laughing while the mortification propelled me off the bench. I didn't dare look back to see if the poor stranger was equally appalled.

Op i'm assuming you're younger than me. I'm mid 50's and menopausal I can't even stand up and walk without farts erupting out of me. No smell just like trapped wind. The menopause has a lot to answer for.

😂I think for a teen it's either going to be hilarious or embarrassing like everything their parents do, DH is being a dick acting as if the mega fart was on purpose and shaming you for it. I'd find it funny if I was a bystander, it's a reminder that bodily functions are normal and we all can get caught out by them at awkward moments.

A fart is a joke that is funny in all languages. Your DH is a miserable prude 🤣

Your husband needs to get over himself

It sounds like you just snapped and farted. Now the pressure is released, could you try karate lessons to help control your flatus control more?

The funniest live show I ever saw was centred around fart jokes. The audience was full of families and the children were laughing much it set all the parents and grandparents off. In the end the performers couldn’t stop laughing either. My stomach muscles hurt the next day from all the laughing.

I’m so sorry your husband didn’t see the funny side. It’s not like you did an almighty fart with intent. Farts are funny, anyone who can’t appreciate the comedy of a large and unexpected fart, I pity them.

😂

Omg! Hilarious!

In a supermarket I was following a man pushing a trolley. He stopped, raised one leg to the side, pulled his buttocks apart with one hand and let fly! Charming!

I had a friend who was a nurse and thought she was letting out a silent one at work. Unfortunately it came out really loud in front of the patient and consultant. All she could think of to say was, 'oops.'

maybe if you’re five years old they are. Otherwise no.
