in order to avoid letting out stinking egg trumps which nearly choke to death everyone else in the class?
Ugh.

just back from the gym then Rowlers ?

poppy34 · 31/05/2008 12:48

erm yanbu but rofl. I take it that you were somewhat put off your stride in your class..

Rowlers · 31/05/2008 12:48

Oh god I nearly died.
Not from the exercise.

and usually it seems to be yoga/stretch classess that brings out the stinky types

WinkyWinkola · 31/05/2008 12:49

Snigger. That's hilarious I think. The person must have been really embarrassed. Not as embarrassed as the very prim lady who let rip a big hooting fart in my very quiet yoga class.

LucyJones · 31/05/2008 12:49

sometimes it sets people's metabolisms off... all that exercise
that's why I don't go to hot sweaty areobics in the summer
go jogging in the fresh air instead, or cycling

Twiglett · 31/05/2008 12:49

having a dump does not prevent the yoga farts

Blandmum · 31/05/2008 12:49

you need one of these before the nezt class rowlers

Blandmum · 31/05/2008 12:50

You cannot plan for fanny farts in yoga.

Tis the will of the gods

Rowlers · 31/05/2008 12:50

HA!
Yes, you look around for the culprit and everyone is red-faced anyway from all the huffing and puffing.

True but can anyone take a dump at will?

maidamess · 31/05/2008 12:52

Lol Martianbishop

on the subject of inappropriate behaviour in excercise classes I have recently seen

A woman sitting at the back applying mascara furiously before the class started

Someone else came in with a coffee in a cup and saucer and sipped it during the breaks.

Rowlers · 31/05/2008 12:53

These were def not fanny farts.
I almost expected to find a heap of manure next to me but no.
Just slightly embarrassed looking ladees.
No-one knows who dealt it, so everyone looks embarassed hoping your neighbour doesn't think it's you.

Rowlers · 31/05/2008 12:54

Someone did leave half way through.
I wondered if it was her but no, they kept coming.

if you are farting that much you def. need a dump.

She must have been very uncomfortable lugging all that extra weight around.

My dh always bets on the horse thats just done dump before the race starts.

lucyellensmum · 31/05/2008 13:12

thanks for that, i had just put down my chocolate mousse as this thread popped up

maidamess · 31/05/2008 13:13

Tee Hee

PheasantPlucker · 31/05/2008 15:34

As my old teacher said, in the 1970s, 'it's very bad form' YANBU!

AlistairSim · 31/05/2008 15:39

maidamess - That works with greyhound racing too.

Anything to lighten the load.

MABS · 31/05/2008 15:50

assuming it wasnt you then Rowlers?

ivykaty44 · 31/05/2008 16:16

like this?

LittleBella · 31/05/2008 16:18

But wind isn't the same as poo. Wind happens even if you don't need to poo.

MKG · 31/05/2008 16:54

I saw a bumper sticker that said, "A fart is the cry of an imprisioned terd".

I just needed to share that with someone
