Do you refrain from farting in your house?

oatstie · 03/05/13 - 22:55

A question for people who don't live on their own: Do you make any attempt to hold in your farts around the house, or do you just let rip whenever you feel like it? We were discussing this in the staff room at work this lunchtime and several people admitted they fart whenever they like, including in front of wife/husband/kids/brothers/sisters because they take the view it's their home and it's therefore an appropriate place to do it. :eek:Me personally, I'd feel embarrassed farting in front of any other person so I'd always try my best to hold them in. I'd also feel very uncomfortable about subjecting other people to my pooh smells.

What is your policy?

I live alone, but even when I didn't, it was open house on farting.

Mind you, the house really needed to be open, to vent the smell.

I go for as loud as possible, and judge the result out of ten. I still haven't hit a ten-shot yet

ETA: Although I do live alone (with two equally smelly cats) so that disqualifies me from the thread

I'm early middle aged, so farts just pop out now, if it happens in front of chap, I say excuse me

Two poo threads and a fart thread, OP?

You're on a (questionable) roll...

Virgil Tracy · 03/05/13 - 23:22

I always blamed the cat .

When you've lived with someone for nearly 2 decades hiding your farts is a distant memory.

We all let it out in our house, no point in holding it in and getting a bad stomach

[Deleted User] · 03/05/13 - 23:42

I live alone now, but in the past no, I never held in a fart. It's my house too, regardless of who else lives there, so if I want to let rip then I will let rip.

Wherever you may be, let your farts go free for the want of a fart was the death of me.

I live alone, but I don't fart in front of the cat as she gets easily spooked by loud noises.

Seriously though, I would never fart in company.

:eek: This forum is almost as obsessed with piss, shit, and farting as it is with benefits, Christianity and Muslims.

It's always better to fart in company with others.

It makes for a more tuneful sound.

They blow free here, and we have been known to laugh about it.

dorydaryl · 04/05/13 - 00:09

Sounds like a Friday Fartfest is due.

LakieLady · 04/05/13 - 00:19

Not only do OH and let rip in front of each other, we give each other marks out of ten. We enjoy a good trump.

Most of my closest friends and I are on farting terms, too.

I had to laugh at this.

I was in Sainsbury's one Saturday and I was in the breakfast cereals aisle, and behind an old lady, every step she took a fart popped out, I followed her to the freezers, which was a fair distance, and she was almost playing a tune.

It made my day.

She ddin't report me for stalking, before anyone asks.

Bungitin · 04/05/13 - 00:24

Wasn't there a french farter called 'La Petomane' to could fart to music and as such performed on the stage. Musical flatulist?

Fortunately pre You Tube.

Thank heavens.

For some reason, as I get older, I have developed a phobia about farting in front of the other half, even going to the toilet is awful, I have to wait till he leaves the house. I have been known to make excuses to go buy a paper so I can use the public loos.
Do I need help??

Where ever you may be
Let your wind go free
In church or chapel
Let the bugger rattle

So that's what #ff means on Twitter ....

I had a friend who, newly married, would actually lean to one side if she was sitting, lift up one buttock, and fart loudly. Funnily enough she wasn't married for long, although I cannot swear this was the reason for the divorce

Are you saying you wouldn't even try to hold it in, even if you thought it was going to be a particularly smelly one?

For such an intellectual snob, you don't have come across as full of wind and pish.
