Acceptable places to fart

Ok, sometimes y'all have called me out when I'm being too strict about something, so I'd like to get your opinion about something.

DH farts probably 50 times per day. I don't know if he has a problem or what. Anyway, I told him to please either go in the bathroom or outside to fart. I don't think it's polite to make other people smell it.

I know this is a silly topic, but what do you think? DS is 10 months old, so he's a young to be teaching this, but eventually we'll have to teach him good manners too. Obviously he should say "excuse me" if he passes gas around other people, but isn't it preferred to just leave the room?

Re: Acceptable places to fart

  • Maybe 20 times per day. I don't know. But the point is, even though we've been married 8 years, I still think it would be nice if he tried to not fart around me out of consideration. No one enjoys that. I understand sometimes it is "necessary" or just sneaks up, but sometimes it is controllable.

    Yeah I'm with PPs. When ya gotta fart, ya gotta fart.

    MH farts a ton, and I gotta say I dont really GAF about it. Then again...his never seem to stink. Mine, OTOH, can peel paint. Im not usually an overly gassy person, per se, but when I need to let it out, I certainly don't leave the room to do so.

    OP, I'd say, pick your battles. It may be worth having your husband see a dr if his gas is really a problem, but either way. This would be NBD for me.

    Letting one go cause you need to doesn't bother me. Lifting legs, trying to squeeze one out, Dutch ovens, farting on your partner, etc. are all overkill IMO.

    Agreed. 100%

  • Lol, @mbenit4. The fart that prompted this question was in the kitchen while I was doing dishes. I thought it was rude of him because I couldn't leave the kitchen at the time (I could, but I wanted to finish the dishes). I should have left him in his own cloud to finish the dishes.
  • Egg farts are the worst.

  • Dairy farts are the worst.

    No. Pregnancy farts are the worst.

    I got a wicked wicked stomach ache one time after eating a chicken salad.  DH now refers to the nastiest of farts as "chicken farts." They are the worst.  Fact.

  • I'd rather not smell someone else's ass if it's avoidable.

    Spoken like a true lady.

    I guess I don't understand what makes farts funny. Nor do I want to.

    Even my 2 year old says Excuse me if he farts.


    Hey! I'm a lady goddammit!
  • Imma snap you some farts @mbenit4. That's what you get for being a fart snob.
  • DH and the older kids like to play "guess who farted?" No one claims their gas, they have to guess who did it. Points are awarded. It gets pretty intense.

  • i have the sense of humor of a 14 year old boy and i think fart humor is hysterical!  however, i do clutch my pearls at the word "fart".  in my house, it is only acceptable to call it a "toot" or "puff".
