Farting anywhere and everywhere

[Queserasera1]

Not sure if this is a relationship question. But is farting anywhere and everywhere normal? I know you can’t always predict it but surely if you can contain yourself elsewhere, you can do the same at home? Not talking about the odd fart just constant and anywhere even when the family are eating. Or do I have unrealistic expectations?

@SwordToFlamethrower

I just knew this odious and predictable type of post would come up. 🙄 It didn't take long for somebody to come on here and call people uptight and weird, and 'clutching their pearls' and all that rubbish, because they're not keen on people ripping foul, shit-smelling FARTS around them.

It's funny how the people who go around farting all the time in front of family/the kids/the wife (and it's nearly always MEN who do it!) manage to not do it when it suits them!

Men who do it at home (loud stinky ones near to someone,) and stink out the house, wouldn't do it in front of the women at work or the boss at work, and any woman outside work, especially attractive ones.. They wouldn't do it while standing in a queue in Tesco. They wouldn't do it on the bus. They wouldn't do it on the train.

They just do it when it suits them for attention, and just be disgusting, and for shits and giggles, because they're childish and pathetic.. (Several posters have said they know men who only do it at home and one said she's convinced her grandad did it deliberately to annoy her grandmother.) Of course, some people have to fart sometimes, and me and DH do occasionally, but we eat well and they don't stink!

My DH used to have a mate about 20 years ago. He'd come round to our house 1 or 2 times a week and every single time he came, he ripped off the most foul farts. It actually smelled like stink bombs had gone off - crossed with a blocked sewer. After the first 6-7 times he visited (and stunk our house out every time!) I told him he was not welcome anymore. It made me and DH, and our DC feel sick, and my DC had to go in the garden to get away from the smell. Dirty rancid c*nt. He thought it was hilarious. He was single. shocker!

And I'm not upper middle class. I'm working class! So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Also, by the way you call us 'lasses clutching pearls,' I have a strong suspicion you're a man. So yeah, you probably crack them off for attention and for shits and giggles, no matter that your fart has come past a shit, and stinks like a cesspit. Whoever you're married to has my sympathy.

Yeah some people have IBS, but it's almost certainly not them cracking off the stinky farts, it's attention seeking people (often men.)

And you claim people who hate other peoples rancid farts don't have any fun in life?! Good grief. Do grow up!

You pearl clutching lasses crack on with your no farting rules and having zero fun in life, Jesus.

This is so weird. We are going on a once in a lifetime holiday soon, we will have loads of fun there. Me and my DH like to go out, have a drink and dance and have loads of fun then too. We sat in the garden last night and had a lil bbq, we had fun. It's school holidays and our kids are older so having fun, even if it's just a day of baking or watching cheesy horror films.
Oh and we are working class, don't have dinner parties, people just come for their dinner or tea.
I don't see what farting has got to do with having fun?

I'm from very working class stock; my parents barely had any schooling. I never heard flatulence from them, my sister or any man I've ever been intimately involved wit in my 61 years.

Being couth and having consideration for others isn't a matter of class, it's a matter of character.

Exactly what I said in my post. To suggest people don't have any fun in their life because they don't want to be smelling someone's rancid fart that has just come past a shit, is absolutely pathetic.

My dad, ex and DH all just fart whenever they want. I really strongly dislike it and voice this. DH will half jokingly say "I can't help it, it just happens", so I've reflected has it ever happened when he's at work in an important meeting... Funnily enough not.

How can you get interested in sex with him, seriously?

Who is raising men to be like this?

I agree with this. Farting can be fun and hilarious.

My parents used to have farting competitions for the loudest and longest. My sister and I would join in when we were old enough.

Of course, we would all have behaved ourselves if the Queen had ever visited, but for some reason she never did. 🙄

@KreedKafer Then we're in agreement. One slipping out is funny. I thought this thread was about people who do them constantly and don't care about the smell they're inflicting

This post is absolutely bonkers 😂
You heard it here first ladies.. you need to create a wall of bowel stench around you to have fun in life!
I'm working class as they come, love.

Farting can be funning and it can be offensive. It all depends on perspective and occasion.

Me and my kids (now adult) find farts hilarious and will happily fart in front of each other. However, I definitely wouldn't be pushing them out at work or in company or with my partner. I think you can acknowledge that farting is natural whilst also respecting that not everyone finds them endearing or hilarious.

People have all sorts of food issues and gut problems, but I don't hear people farting at work or on the tube, so if I can hold them in and other people at work can do it, then it must be possible for most people.

If you find your partner's endless farting too much @Queserasera1 then that is a conversation to have with him. It doesn't matter what any of the rest of us think, because 3 pages of threads in, you can see that there are lots of different views. What matters is what you think and how you and your partner come to a compromise or resolution on what you can both tolerate.

FFS, "farting can be funny"!!!! not sure where funning came from.

This is one of those mind blowing internet moments - are you all telling me you can control when you fart?! How is that possible?! I can sometimes diffuse it with internal squeezing but not often. I can feel a poo coming and hold it, same for a wee, but never a fart.

Honestly my mind is blown.

UPDATE:

it wasn't lawn mower oil, it was a two-stoke mixer of petrol and oil.

I thought it tasted rather nasty and subsequently lit a cigarette to try and rid myself of the lingering tang and then proceeded to perform a rather unexpected and (if I say it myself) spectacular impression of a Welsh dragon.

The two children next door were totally awestruck, but I shan't be doing it again thank you.

If you have a good balanced diet, there's very little farting. I suspect your Joe Average is following all the instructions, and expecting everyone else to listen to his body, rather than listening to his own body and giving it a diet that doesn't require constant farting.

If your normality is that everyone farts around you all the time, move, unless you enjoy it? It really isn't happening in most places.

I honestly find it intriguing and hilarious how often on here we end up having lengthy discussions on farting! Love it.

There are some great threads on this refined subject. 🤣🤣

Thank you for all the replies. Some laugh out loud moments here. I promise I’m not stiff upper lip but that is how I am made to feel. I too can laugh about a fart, I too have accidents but if you do it so much always loud and always rancid, there must be an issue. Really not expecting you to leave the room at all times. But refusing to acknowledge there is an issue or this is simply how I am just makes me wonder. But then it is the same as thinking loud chainsaw snoring is normal and you don’t have to get it seen to. Funny enough I want to seperate and I promise it is not about the farting. I have a family member with IBS and even they don’t go about in the same way.

We let rip here in the house whenever we want, apart from if we are eating. Its no big deal.

At night, we are both "lifting the sheets".

God I wouldn't be able to be sexual with someone like that..

Some people are on meds that create this effect eg diabetics and in general the older you get the fartier you get 😂

I don't normally link to the DM but just thought I'd leave this here

I get terrible flatulence, my DS has it too and it is horrendous. DH joked about how he inherited my dodgy gut. In the end we've worked out we both have a severe reaction to broccoli but my MIL always said we should eat it because it's a super food etc and we were having it daily the second we switched to green beans and spinach we were fine. Leeks are also trigger food for both of us, I guess some bodies react differently.

Tel him to do the low fod map diet. Sounds like a intolerance!

Farting is a bodily function, get over it!

Farting is a bodily function, get over it

So is defecating. So is urinating. So is vomiting. Wouldn't fancy sitting round the dinner table at your house. The rest of us are going in another room to perform some of our bodily functions, but clearly at your house, as long as it's a bodily function, it's suitable anywhere.

I'd love to see you in a job interview. (parp)
