Embarrassed by boyfriend

Been seeing someone for around 3 months. We get in we'll but he's quirky, which is fine - well I thought it was. Sometimes I'm starting to think he's just plain odd.

He's overweight and said he wanted to get fitter so I suggested he come along to my karate class. He did and I ended up mortified. He wore scruffy old jogging suit bottoms with paint on them and a massive baggy t-shirt with Harry Potter on. Whenever instructor showed him something he giggled. Instructor is hard arse, old school - I've known him for years and knew he was going to react badly. After 3 or so giggling moments and DB stood in weird positions and flapping his arms around like a little girl instructor said "what are you giggling at? Are you a girl or what? Do you have something wrong with you?". Everyone was looking. DB started stuttering and instructor carried on with "you know this is karate and not ballet don't you? Are you in the wrong class?". DBs face went bright red. I was mortified and just wanted to hide. Another female instructor said "alright, it's his first day" so instructor said "but what's he giggling at?". Anyway later on instructor came over to me and said "where the hell did you find him? Is he one of your patients or something?" I was so embarrassed I just said "he's a neighbour".

After the class I asked DB why he kept laughing. I'd warned him beforehand about the instructor. He replied "it was funny, I thought I looked silly!" So I said "you did, why did you act like that? It's a class full of martial artists, nobody else was acting like that" do he looked embarrassed and said "I don't know" so I said he shouldn't come again as instructor will have it in for him now. He got upset and said "but I like spending time with you" so I snapped and farted and said "well you embarrassed me, I've been going there for years and now I don't want to go back because of you, find your own hobby".

Anyway this isn't an isolated incident, a couple of weeks ago he embarrassed me in a cafe shouting and making a scene. In private we get on really well but in private he mortifies me.

He still wants to come to karate with me tonight. AIBU to tell him I don't want him there?

Funniest thread ever! I laughed at this one more than I did the monsoon buttons one, and I never thought anything would top that one! 😂😂😂

SalemBlackCat · 15/06/2018 19:51

I've been laughing and snorting throughout this morning and my cat lying beside me turned and stared at me. That made laugh harder then I got a really sharp period cramp - that stopped it. lol I had no idea there was a Classics section. I must go and read them.

73kittycat73 · 15/06/2018 19:57

Never before have I heard the phrase, 'angry fart.' I love it! Grin

This thread has had me in stitches! Almost crying at work today on my lunch break sat on my own like a weirdo!

Came home from work and picked up where I left off. Fucking priceless. Someone's made thread about this one and MNHQ have decided to leave it up as it's harmless fun GrinGrinGrin hoorah!!! The best bit is the OP commented on that other thread saying "I didn't fart AT him Confused"

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

AllIHaveToDo · 15/06/2018 21:08

I'm late to the party but this is a stunning thread just for the OPs comment

I've only read first page. Deffo ditch. I know exactly the type you mean. Just ditch!

AllIHaveToDo · 15/06/2018 21:19

RTFT whisky!

Whisky2014 · 15/06/2018 21:29

Haha ok!
I did read it as snapped and shouted which makes sense but OP did actually snap and fart Confused

AllIHaveToDo · 15/06/2018 21:31

But not AT him GrinGrinGrinGrin

teamclean · 15/06/2018 21:45

I hope the OP realises this is all in good fun and doesn't take it too much to fart Wink

Miladamermalada · 15/06/2018 22:01

It's a bit pathetic to waste a whole thread because of a typo-it's not even funny Confused

june04 · 15/06/2018 22:29

I still don't see how it's funny Hmm

Sharkwithknees · 15/06/2018 23:07

As someone eloquently put it: it's the contextual irrelevance of snapping and farting... if you don't find this funny then it's just a very different sense of humour or you have no soul Grin

Miladamermalada · 15/06/2018 23:09

Me neither June Hmm

Emma198 · 15/06/2018 23:24

@Mila how is it 'wasting a thread' it's hardly like we're running out of them. And it wasn't a typo. That's kind of the point. Funny how you can judge is a thread is a waste without even reading it!

QuackPorridgeBacon · 15/06/2018 23:55

Wasting a thread lol. I didn’t realise they can run out.

ificouldwritealettertome · 16/06/2018 00:02

Your karate instructor isn't an old school hard-ass. He's a total horrible cunt

🤣🤣🤣

TreasureInMyTummy · 16/06/2018 00:05

Snapped and farted - laughing like muttley here in hospital ward - worthy of a classic

SinceWhenDid · 16/06/2018 11:44

So man on a bus thread turned out a little fishy!? 😂

Miladamermalada · 16/06/2018 11:58

Hmm Confused
Think I've stumbled into shitsenseofhumour.net

commonarewe · 16/06/2018 13:08

It's the most perfect thread ever - if this doesn't deserve a place in Classics, then nothing does!

ChocEggNoThanks · 16/06/2018 13:28

The absolute wonder of this thread is that no one can pin down what made it so funny. It just is 😁

teamclean · 16/06/2018 14:09

Can't believe we haven't even found out what kind of fart it was. It was funny enough that it happened at all, I suppose.

commonarewe · 16/06/2018 14:12

teamclean

Are you saying you're disappointed by the lack of follow through? Grin
