Loud Long Fart

Aibu to be livid over this encounter?

I was shopping today and as I passed a man he let out a very loud and very long fart right as I was level with him in the aisle. There’s no way it was accidental as it sounded very forced.

Makes me think that some men just hate women and do things like this to make them feel uncomfortable.

He cocked his leg up.

That doesn’t mean it was forced. Most men are incapable of farting without raising a leg.

No, the world record is something like 5 minutes. We have a game called Shot in the Dark & this was one of the questions we had to guess

😮😮😮😮😮 FIVE MINUTES?? now that’s seriously impressive.

I bet they looked like a popped balloon afterwards 😆

Growlybear83 · 09/07/2025 22:04

Unless it was a woman who was wearing thick tights - they would swell up like hot air balloons if they were filled with a five minute fart 😆😆

You can tell it’s forced when it goes on for about 20 seconds at full volume when he’s right beside me in the aisle of a shop.

What aisle was it? The beans aisle? Or was he stocking up on Wind-Eze in the medicines section?

I was crop dusting just a few hours ago in Asda.

Can I suggest that you do some research on colostomy bags.

They make sound that is entirely uncontrollable and extremely embarrassing for the person.

As such it limits your life as the worry of making the sound in public places or even worse, having a leak, stops you from being able to enjoy a normal life.

Imagine living that life then some uneducated pearl clutcher writes a post about you on a forum? Usually after suffering the horror of bowel cancer, then having to deal with fools like yourself.

This.

I hope the OP has part of a bowel removed and has a colostomy or ileostomy bag sometime.

ZERO control on the timing and noise of passing wind.

Not so funny then is it?

A guy farts in front of you so he hates women??

MN gets weirder by the day I swear.

Maybe he thought it was safe and would be a silent one? We have all been caught out by those sneaky bastards 😂

Well I saw a man on a bus today so there is your clear evidence that men hate women. Case closed.

Toetouchingtitties · 09/07/2025 17:44

Did he look like he snapped then farted?

I had totally forgotten about this post, thanks for the reminder 😂

Booboobagins · 09/07/2025 22:22

Im assuming you walked away quickly and left him at it....

I think I'd have done the typical British think and laughed.

ArtTheClown · 09/07/2025 22:27

I've now got this in my head, but with the words now Long Loud Fart, and the howling noises replaced with a twenty-second ripper.

When my dad was undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer, he farted a lot. He physically couldn't help it and they were very loud and drawn out, 20 seconds would have been below average. People did get offended when we were out in public at times, Especially as he had that old 'pull my finger' type of humor and would just try to laugh it off but he was actually really uncomfortable and embarrassed and he stopped going to the shops because of it.

I'm not saying that this man that OP encountered wasn't just being an ass but sometimes there might be more to a situation then first appears :)

I think the OP should have farted back if she thinks people can fart on demand.

Whenlifegivesyouoranges · 09/07/2025 22:33

I have a stoma and don’t have control of the wind that passes from it and it can be very noisy. You know absolutely nothing about this man, so I’d just forget about it and move on.

ChaliceinWonderland · 09/07/2025 22:39

Omg am laughing like a drain!

Negroany · 09/07/2025 22:39

Ah, this reminds me of one of the things that made me realise my ex was a controlling arse.

I farted, and he said "don't force it, it's bad for you" and I thought "fuck me, he's even telling me how to fart now!".
It wasn't "forced" anyway. So I surmise, you could not possibly tell that.

TheyFuckYouUpYourMamAndDad · 09/07/2025 22:46

I farted loudly once in Asda (not forced!) and the guy behind me applauded and said, “Good Arse!” which made me laugh as well as die a little inside 😳🤣😳

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 09/07/2025 22:52

Very outing here but my DF once farted so violently after eating some salsify (?! sp?!) that apparently his bum lifted off the loo seat with great force.

On a similar note, my DS aged 7 is delightful and sitting on me farting deliberately daily. In my disgust and stifled amusement, I tell him off then guffaw loudly after.😅🤣😅

TheSilentSister · 09/07/2025 23:01

@Toetouchingtitties - I remember that thread, think it went in classics. This could go the same way.

Topseyt123 · 09/07/2025 23:31

mutinyonthetwix · 09/07/2025 17:37

I am reasonably confident it's not possible for a person to conjure up a twenty second fart entirely at will. Are you capable of this feat, OP?

Should we not be considering the possibility that OP actually DID the fart herself and is trying to deflect the blame onto the poor man?😃🤣

Minimili · 10/07/2025 00:34

It sounds like Karl Pilkingtons Auntie Nora who had wind for 5 minutes 😂

ConnieHeart · 10/07/2025 08:38

I once went out for a curry & when I got back I could not control my wind. Must have gone on fir around a minute, on & off. Luckily I was at home but I've never moved to the bathroom so fast in my life 😯

HelpMeGetThrough · 10/07/2025 08:51

I guess Raynor Winn is looking for a new book idea now, here we have it….

The Long Fart, a heartbreaking story of walking past a man on a costal path who “force farted” for 20 seconds.

You can tell it’s forced when it goes on for about 20 seconds at full volume when he’s right beside me in the aisle of a shop.

If it was really 20 seconds and "full volume" the poor man would have deflated! 20 seconds is a long time, most people would call a 3-4 second fart a long one.
