AIBU to think most people walking, who suddenly look behind are checking before farting?

[NeedAnyHelpWithThatPaperBag]

IANBU ;)

Or checking if someone noticed the fart they already let rip

🤣🤣

I've been rumbled!

I don't check and just crop dust whoever is behind me

I think you're projecting hugely here OP. Stop assuming everyone behaves like you 😜💩.

I just keep walking and get as far away as possible from the scene of my crime.

I have been caught downwind of someone else - so either I was unlucky or the wind direction suddenly changed or the perpetrator didn't really care/or could hold it in long enough.

I would say 80% of the time that is probably true

Haha I am worrying now that people think I am doing that. I suffered a leg injury and my hearing is not the best behind me so I am checking if I am holding someone up while walking. Oh god never thought that they think I am going to fart. (Although explains while they run past me!)

Certainly true for me.

I must think of something less obvious.

This has never occurred to me! I did look behind me a couple of days ago as I sensed someone behind me.

Turned out to be a Mormon intent on asking me if I wanted to go to Mormon church

Agree <nods>

Another request for the laughing emoji back. We can be trusted, lol.

Tell me you look behind you before farting in public - without telling me you look behind you before farting in public ...! 😂

Oh that’s so me, I do apologise😳😂 Golly, is it that obvious🫣

DS1 forceps delivery, DS2 a 10lb+ baby and prolapse issues are to blame!

😂 This is very funny, but no, or at least not in my case!
I am an anxious soul with autism and get twitchy about people walking too close to me, and I listen to podcasts most of the time when I’m out walking or in town, etc., so I’m often checking to see whether there is someone behind me.

OK, hands up. I don't look behind me at all really in public, and don't really fart when I'm out.

BUT. I have (a few times) needed a massive fart whilst on the driveway at home, and I do look left and right of the car, to see no-one is on the public footpath, or in next door's garden, before ripping one off! 😆

I remember once saying 'oh shitting hell!' when I dropped my phone in the mud on the driveway when getting some bottles of water out of the garage, and the postman said 'oooh everything OK, Mrs Zov?' and he laughed. He was some 10 feet away from me, on his way up the driveway.

Imagine if I had cracked off a huge fart? WAAAAAY more embarrassing than him hearing me say 'shitting hell!' 😆

What a gutter mind you have 😃

No, I’m thinking, either overtake me or back-off, Ms Impatient.

Public service announcement: do not fart in a full length Didriksons coat, regardless of who is around you .It really lingers ….

Well I am so I have to assume everyone else is

I was at a gig a few weeks back and every so often there was a vile stink, then the guy dad dancing in front half turned to look at me

So yes. I think you’re right.

Ha ha! Possibly sometimes but not in my case. We get a lot of cyclists on the paths around here. I'm deaf so can't hear them, even when they ring their bells, so I stop sometimes to check that I'm not going to be squashed by one!

That's when you should have unclenched.

I like doing it in a crowd, no one knows who it is then.

I see from the voting that a large majority say IABU 😳Thanks to all the fellow travellers who posted though, for making me feel less of an oddball, lol.
