(Possible NSFW) Public display of gas, how does it affect you?

I was in a silent library using a computer and a woman’s daughter that was next to me ripped one and it echoed. She was like 4 and she had a shocked look on her face lol.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Whoooo! I just witnessed a man farting in the store a couple days ago. I could see that he was embarrassed, it was probably louder than he thought is was going to be. I looked him right in the eye and said “Is that all you got?”
Meh, I feel that one should cover one’s mouth for a burp and try to be quiet about it. Burps can smell horrible. I’ve seen people burp and kind of blow it away by fluttering thier lips. That strikes me as kind of gross. I also try to have my ass over a toilet when I fart, as I still remember the time I was pregnant….
But the older I get, the less I care about things.
That said, I don’t think it’s appropriate to pass gas trying to be loud, or near people one doesn’t know or people who are eating.
@Blackberry an echo from a fart. That’s priceless and hilarious! Poor kid.

@Blondesjon is a he, he’s my husband. ;)

@jonsblond – I knew that! Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet. Sorry for the gender bender! :-)

@jonsblond from a gas emission standpoint does it make a difference? Just asking.

@Blackberry hahahahah man that cracked me up!
I can imagine it echoingxD

I burp in presence of my friends, they are like “ewww” and I always tell them to get used to it, it’s normal. lol
but I don’t/haven’t farted in front of people or friends, except in presence of my mother. I am not shy because me and my mother are really close.

@Trillian – if I had been that man and you had said that to me, you might have become my life-hero.

As to the OP – I feel more comfortable letting ‘em rip in front of my s/o than perhaps he would like. However, I maintain and have had it confirmed that they don’t smell at all, and I think this is because I’m unselfconscious about them and so there’s no toxic build up.

I always hear people burp in inappropriate situations. too many examples to give. Farting – hmmm it’s been a while since I heard someone rip in public.

I’m comfortable around my boyfriend and immediate family (parents, siblings), but squeeze the cheeks around everyone else.

Best fart I heard came from a little baby less than 12 months old. A coworker and I were meeting with a couple with a newborn, and the little guy ripped off a huge one. The neighbors probably heard it. My coworker turns to the couple and said, wow, that was drier than a popcorn fart.

What sick bastard gave me GA’s for those?lol

I’m comfortable around my SO enough to where if I do pass a pooter then I can excuse myself and it not be brought to much attention. He poots and will excuse himself or we giggle and say the dog did it.

In public then I try to move away from people if I think I have an uncontrable pooter that needs to go outside. If other people poot then I try not to notice because I think most of us will go away, aside or whatever if possible and if it happens in front of others then it must’ve been bad or unintentional and I can forgive that.

@Adirondackwannabe – I did!! So thrrrrrrrrrpt!!

My husband has taught me a lot of things, and one of the most important is to not worry about what others think about you. He loves to see the reaction of others when he lets one rip in a crowded room. Some people really get offended.

I’ve also learned from my husband that life is too short to let a fart get the best of you!

@jonsblond Fart proudly and leave it behind you. (Can you tell it’s a friday from this high level of discourse?)

Best place to fart is in a packed library while sitting on a wooden chair. Trrrrrrrrrrrrumppppppp!!! Sounds like ripping cardboard. If anyone glares at you for your anal faux pas just point at the nearest old person mouthing “bless” & all will be forgotten :¬)

@ucme Librarian here. Umm – No!!!

@janbb ssshh, quiet please

I never feel comfortable farting, not even when I am alone. If someone else farts I usually find it amusing but I would be mortified if I accidentally let one go in front of others. My SO of a good few years has only heard me fart once although, bless him, he swears he didn’t hear me!

I’m not so worried about burping in front of others although, I still never do it purposely.

I understand that we have about a liters worth of farts produced daily. But with the exception of the ones that just sneak their way out when bending over or doing something stenuous like bench pressing or yoga I feel it is pretty rude to just “let them rip”. I don’t know when this “ripping” thing came into vogue but I wish that it would be phased right back out as crass.
It’ a definite turnoff when men do this in front of me. I have dated alot and have to tell you “rippers” that not all men do this. Alot have the good manners and common sense to excuse themselves to another room or the outdoors. Some things greatly reduce your romantic encounters and I believe this is one of those things.

It grosses me out,even when a friend described it as backwoods air-flirting. :p

I laugh because I find it hilarious as long as it’s not when I’m eating. My family and friends all have one thing in common. If they have to fart then you better prepare because it’s coming.

a little poot in public never hurt anyone. A “scuse me” should be all that is needed to keep anybody from getting too bent out of shape about it. It’s those damn barking spiders.

@Leanne1986 Anal retentive much?

@Ponderer983 Could say that!

Anal retentive is a good thing in the context of this subject. Just sayin”

@janbb As long as they don’t exceed the max load limit. At least around me.

@janbb Yeah but in solitude – let it rip! Where else do you have that freedom?
