Embarrassed by boyfriend

[DogDmor]

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?

I thought the original snapped and farted was on a train? And was a troll?

And no, didn't get why this bit of creative writing ended up in classics either.

@CaravaggioLover

Is 'snapping and farting' a way of expressing anger then? I didn't realise it was a 'thing'. One becomes angry and then releases a fart - to convey anger? how interesting.

OP your bf sounds as if he has problems reading social situations and you sound like a miserable friendless bastard. HTH.

Not a thing at all - just one comment (undoubtedly totally engineered by the OP) which went down so well with the Lolling Hun Massive that there were WEEKS of 'spat my tea all over the keyboard' 'just woke my pitbull terrier I laughed so hard' 'just startled my newborn awake with my rolling tears of laughter' etc etc ad nauseum.

Feck orf unfunny desperate people.

I thought the 'snapped and farted' line was in a post about a workplace and the OP came back and realised what she had said.

I wonder what I am thinking of.

I'm sure it involved an office chair.

I agree. I expected this thread to be hilarious from the build up. It wasn't. It also descended into one great big bullying fest

I never found this thread funny either.

The thread wasn't funny the first time round.

Isn't this a zombie thread.

Step away from the thread....

oh it's under classics. shoot me now.

I wasn't on MN when this was originally written, but I'm glad it's resurfaced, it's HILARIOUS. I needed cheering up and this had me crying.

What got me, what that I thought the OP had mistyped and meant she "snapped and shouted" but when she reappeared to confirm she has IBS and didn't imply it was atall unusual to fury-fart...well, that tipped me over the edge. Brilliant! Thanks for cheering up a dreary monday morning

@MuckyMare

I thought he was shouting Dog too

He wasn't? Someone explain please!

@Merryoldgoat

You don’t sound very nice and your karate instructor is the exact kind of cunt that keeps me away from taking it up again.

You should dump him. Save him from being in a relationship with someone poisonous like you.

This! you sound awful and your instructor is a bellend.

OH FFS! a zombie thread

it's your instructor that is the problem. Sounds awful

OMG so happy someone dragged this up out of the archives - not seen it before and pissing myself laughing

Snapped and farted

@MissMary0fSweden

he should be mortified by you, snapping and farting all over the shop!

Dunno about your boyfriend but your instructor sounds like an absolute dick

Your instructor is the total ass. He was a monster and I would be embarrassed that you think it is ok your boyfriend was abused.

The instructor sounds like a bullying macho dick.

Ahhh snapped and farted is back once again !

I know this is an old thread but:-

what are you giggling at? Are you a girl or what? Do you have something wrong with you?

I would say how the instructor spoke wasn't ok. Your boyfriend was probably giggling because he felt self-conscious and nervous doing an activity he wasn't used to. I'm a qualified fitness instructor and this is the opposite of how I would act.

But if he's made you cringe in other ways, you'd be right to bin him.

I assume you did.

Poor guy. It's the instructor that should be embarrassed. Don't know why he wants to go back with you after your reaction either.

I know this is an old thread but it made me giggle a bit.

I think the instructor was way out of line with the comments he said and very unprofessional. What if this man did have learning difficulties?!

Sounds to me like the boyfriend just has a zest for life, very much like the character Alec Baldwin plays on friends as Pheobes boyfriend 😂

OH PLEASE SAY - 'Reader I married him!'

This has made me laugh so much! Sorry OP!
Tbh you're being a bit mean, he sounds like he was nervous. Maybe this isn't the right relationship for you.

Ahhh Jesus an old thread! But the best typo I've seen on here for ages 😂😂

Ah, so THIS was the snapped and farted thread ... I always wondered where it came from

its not a typo

i always felt sorry for the boyf wonder if theyre still together
