Farting
A retired bus driver has been given a written letter asking him to step out of a social club when he is farting.
The letter said, “After several complaints regarding your continual breaking of wind (farting) while in the club, would you please consider that your actions are considered disgusting to fellow members and visitors.” Here is the link: Link (For those of you who doubt this is news, you can see this important story was covered by Foxnews).Do you typically leave a crowded room if you have to fart?

I usually leave a crowded room after farting.
No.
Temp hit the issue on the head, however.
What? Whatever do you mean? I NEVER FART.
hahaha jk
Yup – always.
I pass the blame onto someone nearby.
this is a really strange question, Dan. You tell us what you do, first.
yes – if leaving the room is an option.
Nope! All I do is aim for a silent one and hope for the best. By the way, that is a very attractive looking old man. Almost looks like he could be my brother.
But seriously, flatulance is often caused by overeating or poor eating habits, so I try to avoid things that I know might be a problem because they are probably having other bad health effects.
So chew your food well and don’t overeat, and avoid greasy, heavy foods.
Depends on circumstances.
I just blame it on someone else!! Gosh…you can’t plan farts!! They are so random!!
I wouldn’t fart unless I REALLY had to, in which case yes, I would leave. Unless I’m drunk then I don’t care.
I don’t pass gas period often so it is not a big deal. Eat better and worry less.
Dan, I don’t fart. Ask anyone
I try to make it to a bathroom before I fart, if I can! My daughter told me I fart in my sleep, too–guess I fart a lot…
No, but I might move to a more crowded part of the room.
I don’t know what I do.
hahahaha….cant possibly be that bad, dan!
I fart, then follow it up with something along the lines of “Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh that was cool.”
My boss likes to publicly anounce it when he Farts.
To answer your question only if I believe it will be loud or stinky.
No. It doesn’t occur very frequently. When it does, I can typically either wait until a “loud moment” or ensure silence (or try for both). And, even if someone does hear it, who gives a damn?
Actually flatulence can be caused by lots of foods that are in fact otherwise healthy including cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage. Also this guy could have irritable bowel syndrome or some other disease that might cause excessive flatulence.
In any case these people should leave this poor old man alone. wtf. And if they are going to ask him this, they should say it to his face not send a letter.
If the circumstances allow, I’ll leave the room, but I’m not gonna go out of my way to do so.
haha…i just feign ignorance and pretend it wasn’t me
I so agree with nephyo. They should’ve said it to his face. That is sooo true!
no, it’s not like it’s a very controllable function. besides, everyone does it, and it’s just air…
No.
I have ways of making them silent. It’s all in the muscle control.
you guys…you can’t just “not fart.” if you say you don’t fart, then you just fart a lot in your sleep. sure, there are some foods that promote farting more, but it’s not un-healthy to eat them. beans are a very healthy food, and they’re pretty much where i get all of my protein, seeing as I’m a vegetarian.
This has got to be the wierdest question you’ve ever asked, Dan.
depends on the crowd
First of all, we all know that women don’t fart. So, those of you who admitted to it either are lying or the women I’ve known have been lying to me all my life.
I generally will not leave a crowded room when I fart unless everyone is seated. It is harder to hide the fact that you have done it when everyone is seated such as when you are in church. However, if everyone is standing or reasonably mobile, I’ll generally fart freely and move to another area of the room. Ideally I will fart WHILE moving to another area of the room so that more people can enjoy the experience.
On another note, just because one is extremely flatulent does not necessarily mean that they eat a poor diet. Many healthy foods also cause great intestinal turbulence.
Always!
hahahaha, yes, usually i go outside or to the bathroom
RYC: Santa rejects all request to alter his laugh……..Santa will continue with HO HO HO, because Santa is pure and good.
As for Farting, of course you do that as discretely as possible.
HA…another fox news moment.
The guy drove buses for a living. He deserves his sweater, his beer, and his fruity musical expressions.
lol, yes.
On the one hand, farts stink. On the other, mean people suck. Get a life!
Heck no. I’m a girl. Girls don’t fart. Or poop.
funny story — I was in the hallway talking with two other teachers — when a student came out of the room across the hall from mine — when his teacher asked him what he was doing in the hallway — “Well, Mrs. I, I just came out here to fart”, at least the child had the excuse of being blind and honestly didn’t know there were 3 teachers standing in the hallway at the time.
Wtf? He must have been really gassy… Um, no, I just hold it in. If I absolutely have to, then yeah, I’d go to the bathroom.
No, I hold it in as long as I can. Until it gets painfull. Then I slowly let it out.
if it’s going to be loud, I try to silence it or get away from people. But if it’s fairly quiet, I’d go near someone else and then blame it on them
.
And what girl doesn’t pass gas?! sheesh. I’m a girl, and I will be the first to assure you that, yes, girls do, in fact, have the gift of flatulence.
ROFL!!!!!
I’ll never tell!
Well ain’t this awkward.
yeah.. and hope I don’t bring it back in with me..
nope i crop dust
hahahahahah
poor man :/
but to be honest, i guess i just .. have a good control over these things? i can’t even remember the last time i accidentally farted in public. it’s like learning how to wake up at night instead of wetting the bed
ahahha something like that
depends who is in the room.
How embarrassing.. I don’t tell.. So if you smell something.. It isn’t me.. It is you..
I leave the room.
And that guy just looks like a serial farter.
Ladies don’t fart, they have the vapors.
um, before I fart I leave the room – but I dont have that problem very often… or I fart slow and soundlessly – oh yeah.. lol (it usually does not stink and no one knows… ha ha)
Daniel (doubledb)
Farting in a crowded room is the best place to fart. As long as it’s silent, no one would really know for sure who did it.
I will go and stand next to an older fellow like him or a woman, then point at them.
LOL! Spacey1 Thing is, if you stick around that same spot, people that DIDN’T do it start getting away from the smell…FAST and it leaves the dealer all alone!
Fart machines are AWESOME too! The looks you can get can CRACK YOU UP!
Only if I have eaten beans and chile.
Yes… if I can… boy, what are you thinking? lol
I’d leave – it isn’t polite.
Yes I leave the room to fart but….being over 45 …sometimes you fart in the store when you bend down to get something…I carry fart spray in my purse incase I need it.
it depends on the crowd…if it’s family, you have to in order to defend yourself…or you just blame it on my mom.
Depends on how loud the room is.
Sometimes…LOL (That story is hilarious…)
No – when I was younger we pass the blame round who let one off.
an answer to that one…
Im usually hiking towards the himalayas before I let out some a killer flatulence =}
Depends on circumstances. However I usually can’t hold it…
farts are funny
haha… one word… “BRRRRRRRT!”
I leave the room now, back in the day I use to “blame the dog”
I leave if I think it’ll be loud/noticed.
I usually just clench my cheeks and keep it in there.
If you can handle looking at a man with teeth that bad, why are you complaining about his bodily functions?
I’ve been advocating the de-stigmatization of the fart for years. Its a natural bodily function. I admit I’ll usually try to controll my own farts, either by holding them in or trying to pass them quietly, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. I’m never offended when someone else gets “the vapors.”
“But seriously, flatulance is often caused by overeating or poor eating habits, so I try to avoid things that I know might be a problem because they are probably having other bad health effects. So chew your food well and don’t overeat, and avoid greasy, heavy foods.” JabezPrayer
LOL You are full of shit! You actually believe poor eating habits is what gives a person flatulence?! Yeah riiiiight! Go back to 7th grade health class! First and formost it depends on how much bacteria and what type of bacteria lives in a person’s large intestine. And one can eat very healthy and fart up a storm. Eating whole grains, bran, legumes (such as dried beans, dried peas, soy beans, and lima beans), broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, many fruits that contain the sugar Sorbitol which humans can’t really break down, many dairy products that have the natural sugar called Lactose. So spare me the crap about only unhealthy people fart. LMAO!
If I have to fart, I let it rip. I don’t care who is around.
EDIT: Eating whole grains, bran, legumes (such as dried beans, dried peas, soy beans, and lima beans), broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, many fruits that contain the sugar Sorbitol which humans can’t really break down, many dairy products that have the natural sugar called Lactose… CAN CAUSE FLATULENCE.
Sorry about that.
I held in once, and it leaked out.
In front (or within smelling distance) of the CUTEST 18 year old freshman, in a program other than mine.
I was working her.
Till my dairy mozzarella stink stench filled the caf.
Imma still gonna bag that. I’m a man. I fart. She knows it now.
I try and leave before it happens.
I’m always afraid people will drop to the floor with stomach spasms and I would feel so guilty and embarrassed!
Well if it gives the kind of relief shown on this guys face I guess I would do it where ever needed.
In a crowd!? It could be anyone. I’d like to see you pursued this kind of complaint.
nope i just let all out its normal
