How long before acceptable to fart in front of partner?

Some say they would not fart at work which could be sensible. I knew someone who lost his job over a fart at work. I was working in a large office when one very respectable elderly man let rip, obviously thinking it would be silent. Everyone was too polite to say anything except one young chap who said loudly "That's the most sensible thing you have said all day, Charlie". Everybody fell about laughing and Charlie went very red and rushed out of the office. A while later the chap who made the remark was called to the boss's office and told he had a week to find another job or he would be sacked.

This sounds like a concoction of a vivid imagination to me.

An old man at work laughed at someone for farting, so the old man who farted ran out embarrassed, and the man who took the pee out of the old man was told to leave or he would be sacked.

I don't believe a word of it. No company in the world would be allowed to tell someone to leave because he made a joke out of someone farting.

actually - I was told a story of someone who got sacked for 'farting' at work. I dunno if it was true!
Apparently this person thought it funny to fart in the lift up to their floor. Every day more or less, loudly, and would crack up laughing as people were 'gagging'. I am told people even got out and walked up the stairs the smell was so bad.
I was told he was sacked on the grounds of 'bad attitude towards work colleagues.

You certainly know about it when a broody hen farts

My little tortoise farts, audibly, and he's only half the size of my palm. I've never noticed a smell though, but my nose isn't down there with him. Whereas I daresay he smells mine. Fortunately I live alone except for cats and tortoise.

This thread is cracking me up after a very grumpy day so thank you

In my life, the only people I can fart in front of are my siblings and my father - probably as my father trumps regularly. Not because he needs too - he makes a song and dance about it! He is posh too! I think when he had four kids, he thought it would be cool to fart, you know watching TV, lean to one side and fire one off. I still have never farted in front of partners as despite my father, my mother thinks we were all animals for doing so and so I respect her enough not to carry the family tradition on beyond closed walls (but open windows)!

This was in the 1960's when there were less regulations on employers.
The man who farted was a senior staff member and the one who made the joke was classed as a junior who had only been there a couple of years. The company helped him find another job.

One or two are bound to slip out, but I don't condone those who, whilst seated, raise an arse cheek by lifting a knee, then laugh as they fart!

I have an inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis) and I'm afraid the amount of gas I sometimes need to pass can be more than normal and not only that but can be unexpected and very, very painful if not expelled (though odourless).

Still, I think it was a couple of months before I did pump in front of hubby and he just laughed. Now we do it all the time. Only in the home of course.

We even had a discussion because I was worried he'd find it gross and unladylike, but we both agreed it was a natural thing and as long as they weren't particularly smelly it really wasn't an issue and we'd rather make a noise than be in pain keeping it in. Works for us.

However, I understand my brother's fiancee has never, ever pumped in front of him (she's been with him many years). I find this a bit odd. You're with your partner for life and at the end of the day if you can't pump in front of your own partner then who can you pump in front of?! It's all about sharing the love :rotfl:

Since day one, my missus and I have farted or burped in front of each other, and we are 69 & 70 now. Never in a showy way, just let it go and then asked pardon. Both of us have problems with wind and reflux, it would be actually dangerous to try to hold it in.

I have a Parastomal Hernia, which is a stoma on a large hernia, after bowel disease and an emergency operation in 2009. So my expelled wind is actually what my youngest granddaughter christened "Belly Burps" - as a family we are both close and open with each other, if you see what I mean! Benefit is that they do not smell.

This Thread cracked me up, thank you OP!

I don't feel embarrassed about anything with my OH! Sometimes it is unavoidable, what are you supposed to do if you're out walking, run away to do it?

This thread made me think of MILs dog. One of my friends insists that dogs can't do loud ones because they don't have bum cheeks, but MIL's dog completely disproves it! She's so funny, she does loud ones that make her jump and then actually sniffs her bum after looking confused about where it came from! :rotfl:

My dog also. He jumps up to look out of the window and lets rip. We find it hilarious and he looks round as if to say what you do it too
