Friend posted embarrassing and childish status on my facebook timeline. Am I being too sensitive??

Yesterday I was in the next toilet cubicle to my friend and we were talking whilst weeing (as you do!) and I accidentally broke wind. She kind of stopped talking as I did it but then carried on, it was so embarrassing. But then it happened again about 3 times and she stopped talking completely and it sounded like she was silently in hysterics (I know what she's like, she cracks up over anything and everything). I was mortified but as we left the toilets she never mentioned anything and everything seemed normal so I kind of forgot about it.
Late last night though I got a facebook notification to say she'd posted something on my timeline and when I went to it she'd put "what talks loud and goes pump pump pump?? MyGrain does! xx". To make it even worse a few friends had asked what it was about and she'd replied that I'd had a "pumping fit" in the toilet and had tried to talk louder to disguise it!! Shock mortified.

Am I being too sensitive to be quite upset and angry?

Some people always like to find a fault with a friend. Be thankful that all she could find with you was breaking wind in a toilet!

If I'd seen that post, I'd think she was a cow. I wouldn't be laughing at you.

Can you descend to her level 'she who smelt it dealt it...she who denied it, supplied it etc...'

I'm sorry but I think Chigger's and bleedingheart's advice will just make matters worse. I would be embarrassed by this so-called friend but the earlier advice of just saying, " yes, I sometimes fart when I'm on the toilet" is probably the quickest way of getting this over with.

(Really, I don't think anyone will mention it, they'll be too busy hoping no one mentions their spot or bloated belly or that they forgot to put deodorant on...).

Poor you.

This is one of the many reasons I am no longer on FB.

MarthasHarbour · 06/06/2013 22:24

I left fb just this week because of crap like this.

Just shrug and ask them where they would fart Smile

allaflutter · 06/06/2013 22:32

also, bad idea to go on the loo next to a friend AND talk - I'd be embarassed to be heard by someone I know tbh. Other than that, agree she's not exactly a good friend.

allaflutter · 06/06/2013 22:33

fb is evil Grin - good idea, Marthas.

Conina · 06/06/2013 22:35

How nasty of her!

I'd take the matter of fact approach - yes, I farted. Doesn't everyone?

Please don't worry. Most people I know would be very disdainful of this - its not really funny its it? Its just nothing. No big deal.

if person A tells you something about person B, it tells you more about person A than person B Smile

FunnysInLaJardin · 06/06/2013 22:39

bit weird to fart loudly 4 times in the next cubicle tbh. After the first time I would have made a real effort not to or to disguise it. Childish of your friend but weird of you

Sh1ney · 06/06/2013 22:42

I think this is some sort of fetish wind up

Schmoozer · 07/06/2013 15:39

I would

Delete the post
Ayone who mentions it, i would say, yes it was a really funny post, especially as she was the one pumping !! :)
Dont look / feel embarrased !

BarredfromhavingStella · 07/06/2013 16:05

This thread has made me lol!!

Pretty childish of your friend to post on FB about it though.

Catbert4pm · 07/06/2013 16:06

I think that's out of order; I would hide the post. Think about whether you delete her as a FB friend tho' - can you forgive her? If so don't delete I would suggest.

Pagwatch · 07/06/2013 16:11

I would post 'were you using the phone on the toilet? Promise me not call me when you are doing that. Although it would explain all the crap you post...'

Woofsaidtheladybird · 07/06/2013 17:25

Um, Funnys, why is it weird of the op to fart a few times on the loo, irrespective or not if a friend is in the next cubicle?

Seriously?
Hmm

SolidGoldBrass · 07/06/2013 17:42

What's the rest of your friendship like, though? Have you been friends a long time?
I am just wondering whether she meant to hurt your feelings or whether she meant to share a funny joke with you. Some people think farts are hilarious, others don't like lavatorial humour. If you don't know each other that well as yet, she might have thought that as you were willing to carry on a conversation while going to the loo, you would be amused rather than disgusted by her joking about it. It is, for instance, the sort of thing I might post on some of my friends' facebook pages (because they would laugh and post something equally vulgar back) but would not mention it to others, who would either be irritated or upset - but I know which group is which. Maybe she doesn't. yet.

KinkyDorito · 07/06/2013 17:48

I'd be tempted to write:

"Farting in the toilet? Better than publicly shitting on a friend..."

KinkyDorito · 07/06/2013 17:52

Oo, I like Pag's "crap you post" one too.

MarthasHarbour · 07/06/2013 19:04

funnys WTF? Hmm

she farted - how is that weird?

MardyBra · 07/06/2013 19:10

I remember feeling a bit Blush when I broke wind in the cubicle next to my MIL. I can't help it sometimes when I'm weeing.
I was relieved when she farted back.

It was like a little conversation.

WuzzleMonkey · 07/06/2013 19:13

I'd have brazened it out and replied "what?? I thought that was you shitfeiend's name!"

WuzzleMonkey · 07/06/2013 19:14

Mardybra, that's hilarious!
