Breaking wind in public. Do you or don't you?

After reading the 'pooing at work' thread, I thought I'd take it a step further and move onto that other bottomly function, the fart.

I am way too embarrassed to fart in front of anybody other than hubby and kids. I have been in agony holding them in. I know people who parp away in front of people whilst carrying on their conversation without blinking. And this is women!

I'm quite confident that those people who poo at work have no trouble farting in the office!

Dear me, I didn't realise until today how much I'm spending around people whose minds are on their sphincters!

Well as has been said, everyone does it! Well not everyone but you know what I mean......

Lol! Some of todays threads have made me chuckle, I like to pump in public and while I was working I did all the time as I am very gifted and can do silent but deadly ones, I did in school too, and there was only a small group that knew it would be me, boys always got the blame.

I know everybody does it, I just didn't realise how many people are walking round clenching and squirming!

I had this incredible urge to parp while in Wilko's a while back. I headed to the back of the store where it was relatively people-free in case it was a noisy trump, let rip with a SBD wall-shaker and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then turned around and saw a small child standing right behind me with his head right at bum height. Poor thing must have thought I was his mother and caught the full impact. The look of horror on his face...

As I said in the other thread, I have ibs. Therefore, I can only trump when on the toilet, just in case :rotfl:

Only my children, my sister and my niece are (un)lucky enough to have the pleasure of my bottom burps. I think my OH is of the belief that 'ladies' don't do such things and would be completely devastated if I did it front of him. He on the other hand can do it wherever and whenever he feels the need!!

My favourite place to pump is the car. After a day of holding in stress-related trapped wind, I brace myself on the pedals and let go! I'm always scared I'll get pulled over though. How embarrassing would that be? "Could you roll down your window please ma'am?" "Erm. Really, really not. Sorry officer."

What happens if you really need to fart and he's there, holding it in often results in tummy pain and even moving can let it out involuntarily.
