Bottom burps

I have a rule which is no farting in the bed when the sheets have been changed
This morning DP was farting like a cart horse in bed and the sheets where only changed yesterday,when I want to poop I stick my bottom out of the covers and then let rip.
I am no prude and I like a Dutch oven as much as the next man but it would be nice to keep the sheets stink free for a few days
AIBU?

I suspect you probably both fart in your sleep anyway.

I have told my DH that I dont fart ever and as far as he is concerned I never have!
So no YANBU. I hate it - thankfully DH does it discretely - just have to get the kids to do that too. They are loud and proud!

TheLadyEvenstar · 02/07/2010 08:47

lol Eleanor it would be so tempting if someone had imposed such a rule wouldn't it.

MrsBadger · 02/07/2010 08:48

yabu

sorry

IMoveTheStars · 02/07/2010 08:54

arf... Thunderpants, i can't believe you titled this 'Bottom Burps'

DS calls them poo bubbles

haoshiji · 02/07/2010 09:10

How do your sheets end up 'farty'? Are they very wet farts or something?

bran · 02/07/2010 09:16

YABU in so many ways. Being precious about clean sheets is U, especially when you only need to turn down the duvet to let them air out. YAB very U to use the phrase "bottom burps".

Anyway, it's only your rule. Unless your DP has agreed with it then it's not the rule.

Jasonthunderpants · 02/07/2010 11:36

Whats wrong with Bottom burps?

And I thought 'poop' meant poo.

YABU, although (double standard alert) I have a rule of no farting when we're eating.

Seems to work.

Mumcentreplus · 02/07/2010 12:09

are his farts so strong they permeate the sheets for days???...my mum calls farts poops..anyway..I dont enjoy being farted on the rule is not to fart on and in the main direction of me...I personally have never every farted in my entire life!

Jasonthunderpants · 02/07/2010 13:56

I cannot believe some people are so stuck up about farts and deni/deny ......
(wow thats a puzzle ,how do you spell deniy? I think this is the first time I have ever written it down)
..... ever doing them.I bet when they are in the house alone they pop them out.

yeah yabu to say bottom burps

IMoveTheStars · 02/07/2010 14:01

Jason - deny

Iklboo · 02/07/2010 14:01

Ds calls them 'bum chuckles'. I blame my dad

moondog · 02/07/2010 14:02

I am no prude and I like a Dutch oven as much as the next man

WTF......
(I dread to think.)

domesticdiva · 02/07/2010 14:04

Totally understand about the clean sheet night thing, its bliss getting into a clean, freshly laundered bed! But the bottom burps thing? Well so long as your DH isn't popping off then sticking your head under the duvet, I don't see what the problem is!

MitchyInge · 02/07/2010 14:04

heh

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 02/07/2010 14:05

Bum chuckles? Surely not.

Jason, we're not the ones stuck up about farts if you're the one with the rules about them.

MayorNaze · 02/07/2010 14:06

ohfgs just say fart

none of this tweeness pls

if you fart in your sleep then it doesn't count

that's my rule anyway

MitchyInge · 02/07/2010 14:11

I still want to know WHEN farts became funny

did h. habilis slap their thighs with mirth every time one of their kind let rip? or neanderthals or early sapiens or is it much more recent than that?

more research is so urgently needed I might burst

zeno · 02/07/2010 14:12

Makes me want to send the pixies round to fart in your bed each and every time you change your sheets. Tee hee hee.

If you like a dutch oven how can you possibly be that bothered about fart aroma on the sheets? Give him marks out of ten for odour saturation instead - five bonus points if it's proper burning rubber bottom.

Jasonthunderpants · 02/07/2010 14:15

Farts are funny

If I feel one coming on when I am out and about I try and let it go when walking past old people or teenagers
ha ha ha
sorry I am sat here chuckling at the thought

Can guffs really sully sheets? He must be passing solids if the stench remains for longer than it takes to waft the warm air out of the bed.

Jasonthunderpants · 02/07/2010 14:19

I am a man it is DW who farts
