Foo - Why Don't You Fart In Public?

Walking down the really long hallway at work today, I saw this lady up ahead. She looks back for what I thought was no reason (no noise, no fork truck beep beep .. nothing).

Got me thinking (you know, one of those completely random streams of consciousness): "I wonder if she farted and was hoping there was no one close behind her."

Which got me thinking: "Why don't more people fart in public?"

Yeah, I get the rude part. I get the "it's courteous not to do so." I get all the "good manners" angles. But really, why don't you fart in a crowd .. in public? Or do you?

I dunno why I don't do it. There is a funny story of my neighbor walking up to my car when I was driving out one day .. and I had just let an especially pungent one go; Broccoli does that to me. I was praying he wouldn't want to chat. But he did. I swear I saw him wrinkle his nose ever so slightly.

Oh well.

I fart in public.

i usually do, especially if i'm about to leave an area. like an elevator or a train. it's also perfectly acceptable outdoors and when you're walking around. kinda sucks to do it in a closed room though. that's where the manners come in.

I know a guy that likes to drop SBDs while he's walking through a crowded room. Calls it "cropdusting"

Me too. I love the expression on peoples faces when I do. :D

Alright - get real folks. Even Miss Manners has farted in public. She just blamed it on someone else... ;)

My husband loves nailing elevators right before he gets off of them. Then he listens for the gasps and chokes when the victims get on on the next floor.
Also, when we're in a crowded place and he says "we have to leave now", I don't wait around. I know what's coming.
He loves the ability to fart on command. I'm kinda jealous... :rolleyes:

I love the blame games where it isn't any of the people in the room/locale. What if you are so gassy, you get some leakage and it turns out that it IS you but you don't know it.

This is the funniest thread I've read in a while. I must be British.

only if i'm standing near a bunch of role playing geeks....

reminds me of the joke about the dog under the dinner table. "Damn It Skippy, move before she takes a dump on you!"

wow, you scored! don't let that catch get away

I had broccoli the other night then went down in the basement to work on my remodeling. Remember broccoli gives me major smelly gas. I swear I'd let one rip and have to run from the spot.

I didn't get much done that night.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Public is for farting.

It's why they invented outdoors in the first place!

i do. my wife hates that. yeah i think she's jealous i can do it on command...like my avatar is doing right now..

Oh yeah, Mrs. Funnypants--yuck it up. Your hubby got off the elevator on the 11th floor just as I was getting on. Not only did he get a chuckle out of it, but when the elevator stopped to pick people up on the 10th floor, who do you think everyone wrinkled their noses at? Mr. Pammy? Noooo! Stinky Second Mouse, thank you very much! :p:p:p

what kind of fart?

A friend of mine, who is hearing impaired, recently had an operation to implant a hearing device in her brain.

During the course of deciding whether or not to have this operation, she was talking to one guy who did have it and after the operation, when he was able to hear, he was horrified to learn that farts make noise.

That was my most painful day of laughter. :D

I love when i read something online that literally makes me laugh out loud.....the looks from the coworkers are priceless!

A friend back in the day used to always say "that guy looks like he's smelling a fart" to describe a certain type of jackass, with a certain type of jackass face.

Outdoors, always. In a big crowd, sometimes, depending on the air circulation.

i was in the post office yesterday waiting in line when the woman in front of me let a juicy one out. A second later, someone across the room said "i can help the next person in line", she promptly took advantage.

Everyone farts in public...just not loud. :eek:

Some of you are fart 'commando's'. I gotta drop some in public :)

I just thought of more that my "I can fart on command" husband does. If someone bangs a cart into him in the checkout line of the grocery store, he'll drop one and leave the poor bastage there to enjoy the aroma. It's not like you can move far to get away from the stink....

The only place he won't drop bombs is in church. Some places are just sacred. In his words, church is a "no fly zone". It wasn't that way with my Dad. He'd drop one then look over at me like I did it. The worst time was when a little kid behind us asked during the sermon "Mommy, what stinks?".

And people wonder why I turned out like I did.....:p

- old one, but still relevant here:

toot tone (http://www.kewego.com/video/iLyROoaftIjY.html)

when 2 people are in an elevator and one farts...everyone knows who did it.

Not I!

My favorite is to let loose a blast in an airlock door (Doubles with a vestibule) or an elevator with no one else on it right before I leave it. A leetle present for the next "victim".

Can you fart while riding a fixed gear bike? I can.

I find that the pressure of the saddle on the perineum prevents me from farting while in the saddle. I usually stand and poot. I almost always feel lighter.

Why haven't more women replied?.....come on......women fart too :)

Um... I fart. What's the relevance?

Women don't fart. They don't pee in the shower either. :rolleyes:

it's Foo.

Re: relevance question.

There is no relevance to asking after relevance for a Foo thread.

I just let it rip, if you think its nasty, then i don't know what is wrong with you. Everyone farts.

I fart. It just doesn't stink.

I fart. It just doesn't stink.

what a coincidence!!!


i crap but my crap don't stink

what a coincidence!!!


i crap but my crap don't stink

Ahhhhh. Picture acres of beautiful roses, all in bloom. Yup, that's what I'm talkin about!!!

I get over my perennial lust for Halle Berry/Jenifer Lopez/<insert your favorite lust> by picturing her/him groaning on the throne. Or stinking up the joint with an SBD.

What make you think I don't?
