Rip *kitten* in public without a care or acknowledgement? I mean even the loud ones, the crop dusters, SBDs, you know...
The reason I ask is this (also the reason I can't stop laughing, yup farts are funny) is there is an older guy who works here and he just walked in and let one go without missing a beat. He was asking about lunch, I heard this thing it was a loud one, and I turned and looked and he just acted like nothing happened. And now I can't stop laughing!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I've caught my g-ma doing it and other people I know too, they just don't even pay attention.
So I ask you, at what age do the elderly get this free pass (no pun intended).

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it's an embarrassment thing? I accidentally ripped one earlier as I was walking to a meeting and I just had to pretend it didn't happen because to do anything otherwise would have meant CERTAIN DOOM AND SHAME.
I just clenched my cheeks and walked on, feeling the burn of accidental-toot-awareness spread across my face.
Oh, crikey, I'm giggling so hard at work right now.
My boss must be getting suspicious that I'm not actually updating our Portal...0 -
:laugh: I think under 10 and over 70 its acceptable.
But thanks for the laugh....needed it this afternoon. Never happened to me - and hope it never does.0 -

I would leave the elderly out of the equation because it's not a matter of "appropriate" but not having the control...so what age is considered "elderly" ? not sure on that one but you're day will come....0 -
Now! Just do it!0

Some people just plain dont give a ****. And on top of that, I'm pretty sure there is a point in life where all people say to themselves "I just dont care what anyone thinks about me anymore". The age is hard to pinpoint.0

I just did!0

good point. That's true, they've lived and made it through some things that the rest of us haven't, so they feel entitled. I get it. Still hilarious0 -
This is too funny and so true. My mom started doing this around 2 yrs. ago at age 78. I just crack up cause she just let's loose no matter how loud or smelly they are. I remember my Aunt (God rest her soul) would fart and she'd put her hands over her mouth and say Tuse Me each time. I thought that was also hilarious. You see she was from the deep South and had a hard time talking right. LMAO! Thanks so much for giving me the chance to have a good memory for a passed loved one. I'll be laughing all afternoon now.0

i do it everyday at the gym and just hop eeveryone has their music turned up.0

Never!
I was seriously raised where such things weren't discussed or done. I can't tell you how many times I saw mh mom clinch and race out of the room.
True story. Went on a date with a guy who farted at the table after we were finished eating. I tried to ignore it... It stopped me mid sentence. I just said "... Did you just...??" and he said "yeah. It's the highest form of flattery in some countries to fart after a meal". I got up and left.0 -

Your mom and mine must have been raised identically :laugh:
There was a time my sister was driving us back from somewhere, and she let loose, and my mom nearly had a coniption fit, asking her why she didn't pull over and get out of the car to do that :laugh:
But yeah, I was raised that it's just not appropriate, so I don't know if I ever would, unless I just couldn't help it. But I'd definitely be so embarrassed about it, if it were to happen.0 -
my dad used to always do it in the grocery store and say it was a mouse0

classy....and i dont mean your date0 -
I do it all the time. Sometimes you just can't help it. I can tell when my husband is crop dusting because he takes off and begins randomly circling wherever we are. I used to toot in my cubicle at my old job or get up and crop dust. Sometimes you just have to!0

I had a friend who's dad would go, hey do you hear the barking spiders? and cut one, hahahamy dad used to always do it in the grocery store and say it was a mouse0 -
Women don't fart. ever. In the rare exception butterflies and rainbows come out, and it smells of roses.
I don't care, but I don't stay in the place where I do it! haha.0 -
I followed an elderly lady at Safeway one time that had the walking farts (thanks larry the cable guy). pfft pfft pfft with every step. I figured heck, if she can do it, so can I!!!0

I had my 14 year old daughter pinned in an isle at a sporting goods store once and I let a silent but violent one go.. waited a few seconds and left the isle. As my daughter was following me, all I heard was.. "oh daddy.."0

Pretty fked up but I do the same thing at work lol0 -
On a more serious note, some people have illnesses like crohns, UC or IBS and they just can't help themselves. It is either let it go or suffer terribley0
