‘D’ P farting while he’s prepping food

161 replies

Easipeelerie · 26/12/2024 20:00

He’s in the kitchen chopping meat and just let out 2 enormous farts (and quite deliberately, not like there was nothing he do about it)- doesn’t care and doesn’t think it’s a big deal. He’s in the kitchen prepping food,
Am I being unreasonable to not want to eat with him now. I find when he does this sort of thing that it’s so disrespectful and just unpleasant.

They’re funny and usually there’s no food prep involved.

What do you think is going to happen to the food?

Thepeopleversuswork · 26/12/2024 20:12

There are two types of people on Mumsnet: those who are disgusted by farts and pretend to their spouses that they never do it; and the people who recognize that farts are a fairly normal human digestive function.

The responses will fall neatly into one of those two categories.

I couldnt get overly excited about this. It’s a fairly childish bit of slapstick but no one is going to get ill.

WalterdelaMare · 26/12/2024 20:12

My husband does all of the cooking and all of the farting.

mrstinsle · 26/12/2024 20:13

Op, does he fart in bed?

grizzlygrump · 26/12/2024 20:13

I’d find that so off putting. I just don’t want to hear other people’s farts or burps or whatever, just go to the bathroom. I don’t think I am clutching at my pearls, I just think it’s basic courtesy to the people around you.

arcticpandas · 26/12/2024 20:15

In our house we have a rule: no farting in the same room as someone else. When I go to bed I can hear DH letting all hell loose. But to be fair I do my fair bit under the covers so when he comes to bed later on and lifts the covers it's not roses he smell..

Exactly. Or step outdoors.

I'm glad the men in my life have been too couth to ever make obnoxious noises in my presence.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

SlipperyFish11 · 26/12/2024 20:25

I'd find that gross tbh. My ex used to fart anywhere in public, silently, but it absolutely stunk and used to piss me off so bad. I'd be just trying to do a food shop or have a nice meal and there would be the smell of his ass.

Do you honestly go to the bathroom every time you need to burp or fart? I can't imagine feeling this uncomfortable around people I share a home with.

TwinkleLights24 · 26/12/2024 20:27

Hahaha.

Strawber · 26/12/2024 20:29

Oh that's a big no no because there will be farticles on the good now

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 26/12/2024 20:29

It's a fart FFS, not like he's shit directly onto the food.
Amazes me daily on here what some people can actually bring themselves to not only give a fuck about, but also create a thread 🙄

Ciderisrosier · 26/12/2024 20:29

I’m glad I don’t live with most of you a third degree tear means I can’t control any of my farts. You’d be shouting leave the bastard about me 😆

sweatband · 26/12/2024 20:30

daisychain01 · 26/12/2024 20:02

Presumably he isn't pointing his bum directly at the food?

People are so weird. If I need to fart it's unlikely I'd get off the sofa and all the way upstairs before it popped out!

On MN? Surely not 🤣

Can you imagine the thread started on here by a woman saying 'I farted in the kitchen while I was preparing dinner for everyone else and DH is accusing me of being 'disrespectful''. Cue howls of "OMG! LTB! How dare that bastard not just be grateful for your efforts".

buttonousmaximous · 26/12/2024 20:33

It's gross he should leave the room

mrstinsle · 26/12/2024 20:36

He wasn't in the room with OP, he was in the kitchen. Read the post.

In all seriousness a year of physio sorted this for me and was available on the nhs.

MabelMora · 26/12/2024 20:39

Isn't this the sort of thing you just roll your eyes at, saying for God's sake Bob if you must? Posting on the internet so all the over reactors on here can start with the vile/grim/I couldn't be with someone like this/ he really doesn't like you OP comments - I mean, really??! If you generally like your husband then move on, for the love of God.

😂😂 Burps as well though! Fizzy drinks must be banned in @grizzlygrump's house.

Thanks I’m so glad you got sorted. Unfortunately nobody repaired the tears at the time so it’s a bit trickier as nothing is in one piece. Thankfully DH makes a lot of allowances and doesn’t care about farts 😊

Gowlett · 26/12/2024 20:42

We’re a farting household…

CoralOP · 26/12/2024 20:49

Some of these responses are crazy, human beings release gases from their body, sometimes they stink, sometimes they are noisy!
Of course it's not socially acceptable in a lot of situations but in your own home with your loved ones no one should feel disgusted at anyone, especially when they are sneaking off to fart themselves.

I can't imagine living with my husband and children and feel the need to sneak off to let rip and expect them to do the same thing, surely that's a really uncomfortable living environment...
