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

Scrapaholic

I suppose I'm lucky that I don't suffer very often with wind . I try and keep it in if I'm not at home and usually succeed ! Now I avoid food that I know will def give me wind , beans etc . A few years ago I had beans on toast , nothing unusual , been eating beans since I was little .Don't know why , but they gave me wind all night . I couldn't get to sleep for pains and explosions every few minutes . Beans and I aren't friends anymore , can't risk it !

I don't deliberately 'blow off' in public but if one slips out then it can't be helped, have no issue doing it in front of my family though.

Once when I was in asda buying booze, I really really needed to let one go, the aisle was quiet but looked up and down to make sure nobody was about and let off, it was a beauty!! What I didn't do though was look behind me, where there was a lady looking at the wine I was also looking at, she wasn't long in getting out of the way!

I have IBS so can't help it, and OH's family is famous for their "brand" of farts, his mother once cleared a whole isle in Sainsbury's!

OH's stink, to the point that we walk away from them to avoid them, but he does it all the time (can't help it). Luckily we both find it hilarious.

OH also often gets migraines, and finds pulling a blanket over his head to block out the light helps stop them developing fully. He once dived into bed, pulled the blanket over his head, then accidentally let rip. I heard the screams of "OH GOD, NOOOOOO" from the next room! He then had the choice of getting a full on migraine or suffering his self inflicted Dutch Oven.

This thread has tickled me

We'd been married for 14 years when I got pregnant, up to this point I'd never done a noisy fart in front of hubby, however I seemed to have no control when heavily pregnant, his face was a picture of joy when I first peeled off a noisy one

My brother, when he was about 10, sellotaped a bag to his bum to try and catch some farts. I was 18 at the time and we were both crying with laughter. Before the bag he'd tried a jam jar, not taped though

OMG glad I am in good company. Am terrible at farting,but would not do it deliberately in public,might let it out silently making sure noone was around. In fact I taught my OH to fart properly he used to do it and deny it. I have a very sensitive digestion and fart all the time sometimes it comes out hot and I can't even stand it. Things like shallots,red onions,bran flakes and ryvita are banned in our house. All farting fodder for me.
I usually fart in my car and I know a friend would greet her husband who picked her up from work with a present. My husband always thinks I've farted, when I open the windows. You need both windows to blow it through.
I would fart in front of my parents and a very close friend and her family. Having been on holiday together we are used to each other by now. In fact my friend kept farting in a french restaurant with her daughter asking 'mummy have you pumped?' and her denying it until we left.

Thanks for this post nearly crying here. Sorry I am a girl with a toilet humour who admits to farting and snoring and yes I do poo at work better out than in and we all do it so why not?

I can understand not doing it infront of friends, at work etc, but not your spouse.

I have to agree, I find it completely mad that people will do all sorts of incredibly intimate sexual stuff and freely exchange fluids with a person but won't fart or wee when they're around!

...It does freak me out that smelling a fart is basically sucking in other peoples poo particles, but theres not really much that can be done...

Yes, quite. Not so funny, I assume that, as with coughs and sneezes and just people's breath as well, you can probably catch infectious diseases such as TB, flu and all sorts of dreadful and sometimes even fatal illnesses off it. That's a rather awful thought, isn't it.
