Some people do seem to fart an awful lot.

I thought it was just vegetarians.

I'm a vegetarian.

I also have UC.

Yes, I am single :rotfl:

All this talk of farting animals reminds me of my late cat (Bowie), who once farted and woke himself up, then looked around bewildered as if wondering what just happened.

I of course then posted 'Bowie just farted and woke himself up' on social media.

I think I qualified that statement by explaining that Bowie was a cat ...

This thread has really amused me! Yes we fart/burp in front of each other. We've been together over 23 years and I'm not going out of the room! Hubby has just belched loudly and I have informed him he has no respect for me - he wants to know what makes me think he ever did :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl: We do it in front of each other too.

I am surprised to hear that people don't.

Why wouldn't you fart in front of your spouse? :rotfl:

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:

this made me think of first dog Anni - jeez that animal could fart for Wales! and you could hear them - they sort of went 'pfffftttttt', but what was funny was that she seemed oblivious. They stank too! second dog Meg mastered the art of the silent fart until she was very old - then she too seemed totally bewildered..........did THAT noise just come out of MY bum?

I personally waited until my partner had farted in front of me before letting it rip in front of him. And only then because we were snowed in and I was poorly.

I will still try to always fart in the toilet but of one gets out it gets out. He on The other hand will call me over if he's just done a silent but deadly Fart..... He's a giggle farter.

I'm so polite when I fart in my sleep he says I used to say 'pardon me' haha.

In the office it's terrible one of the women who works downstairs make the most heinous smells - from the depths of hell.... She'll intentionally do them by people's heads. Seriously rank. She's the most attractive woman in the world - and still men on the office say they couldn't live with it. I have been caught in the cross fire and when there were no mangers is tried to get her back - and been caught out by a male colegue on a Friday afternoon - I was sooooooo embarrassed but she's stopped farting near me now. Haha

I try to keep it under wraps - but sometimes germ warfare can only be responded to in kind.

Possibly the same reason that you wouldn't pick your nose in front of your spouse.

At least bogies don't stink.

The 2 things are not the same though are they?


You choose to pick your nose whereas, a lot of the time, a fart cannot be helped.


Farting is a normal bodily function, picking your nose is not.

This has bought back a memory from when I was at Primary school...
During a school assembly the head teacher was telling a particularly dry bible story when one boy let out the longest, loudest (smelliest, according to the kids sat around him) fart our 9 year old selves had ever witnessed. It was the funniest and most scandalous thing that had ever happened and was the talk of the school for at least a week :rotfl:
The boy was known as 'Farter' until we left school and he moved away from the area (fleeing in shame, no doubt).

What? So you don't pick your nose in front of your partner either? :huh:

What things DO all you prudish oh-so-polite people do in front of your partner?

Anything? Anything at all? Or do you just chat politely about your day, use the bathroom individually, and then retire to the bedroom and get undressed in the dark?

Seriously. I'm not saying you have to sit there farting and belching and flicking bogeys at one another all day, but to say that you should never do things that are perfectly normal - in front of your spouse or life partner, is just mind boggling. I would feel very stressed and unhappy in a relationship where I couldn't relax.

I do wonder how people like this manage to find each other...
