    My ex's aunt used to rip some good ones. But she was a nun so you couldn't even laugh.
  • I was horrified in highschool when a loud one went off that was clearly me as I was being my usually anti-social self and sitting alone in a corner. :blushing:

    I am ashamed to say since being married, I've uh, let myself go? toots wise...and I'm too old and tired of struggling with my intestinal tract...:grumble:

    Oh man!!! I am laughing soooo hard!!!!
    I let em fly, but I own up to them, in the gym......that was someone else....who was using the squat rack, nope, not me! I love old people, and their "I don't give a *kitten*" attitude.

    If you have to fart, you have to fart. It's something the human body does. No reason to be ashamed of a natural bodily function.

    How old am I?
  • my dad used to always do it in the grocery store and say it was a mouse

    Your dad is awesome...
  • my dad used to always do it in the grocery store and say it was a mouse
    I had a friend who's dad would go, hey do you hear the barking spiders? and cut one, hahaha

    LMAO! I am using both of these. I'm sorry, trumping is the funniest thing on earth. I know I should have outgrown it, I'm a CEO. But every time I even hear a trumpy noise, I start to laugh. :-S
  • My Southern Lady, super religious grandma in-law is deaf, blind and in her nineties. She will cut the loudest trumps as she walks away from the dinner table and it never fails to make me bust out laughing. EVERYONE else looks at me like I'm evil for acknowledging it but I'm sorry, she knows what she's doing and it's awesome. She's totally me hero. She'll be talking about something her pastor said and "BRAP", right in mid-sentence. Awesome...
  • My best friend used to roll up the windows in her car and lock them, fart and crank up the heat. Now that's love. :

    I have done that but never thought to turn on the heat. My husband better watch out the next time he rips one on a long drive. I am drinking a fat Coke and letting one cook!

    P.S. anyone else find fat Coke makes them gassy? I hate the stuff but that's probably a good thing because it has an additional effect on my bowels that can clear a room in a Manhattan Minute!

    In public?

    3 or 4 and under is OK if they say excuse me and THAT IS IT


    I had to edit my own post before posting....lol

    Usually, when someone does this it just pisses me off.

    This kind of fart that you speak of..... Sounds like a "Greeting Fart" after consulting my fart list.

    Maam... You can fart right now if you'd like.... I am. Haaaaaaaah. I just had a "Squeeeeky Door"

    Do you know how many calories I have burnt just walking briskly throu other peoples farts while shoping? Toooo many... But not enough to lose 1 lb yet... So probably under 3500 calories burnt from that, so far this year. : )

    My dog is the ultimate crop duster. He looks at me real sly and gets up and leaves. It is about that time that I know to cover my nose because everyone knows dogs farts are the worst. Well other than shower farts.

    my ex and I worked at a dept store, and he would run over to the bottom of the escalator and let it rip...then run the other way. when the old ladies came down into the fog they would look all around, and at each other....it was hilarious!

    So I ask you, at what age do the elderly get this free pass (no pun intended).
    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....

    whoa, it's just for fun,. I'm not being malicious "your day will come" c'mon, lighten up a bit!

    OK..wasn't trying to be too serious there...I was defending the old folk (and I'm about there any day now)...and just sayin the day will come, when you least expect it and you'll be wondering how you let it slip too :blushing: ...that's all

    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).


    LMAO....I work at a dept store and these buggers, no matter what age, rip it in one aisle and hurry off to another aisle! Luckily we have a Health and Beauty Dept, so I just spray, Axe, Febreeze, whatever is there to eliminate it....and ALL ages do it....it was annoying at first but now it's funny b/c EVERYONE does it if they are alone in an aisle...I hate if I'm stocking and I get quietly blamed for it....sigh.....the joys of low wage jobs (however I am of secondary educated -- my pride made me add that, lol)

    Honestly....I think I'd excuse a person at age 0-7 -- then 80 years plus...

    Haaaah!!! :laugh:

    Pull My finger Sinclaire! :noway: Thats what my Dad used to say.

    My one grandpa was really really hard of hearing. He would shout when he talked. I come from a family of loud shouting armenians... So this grandpa thought that if he had to fart, all he had to do, was shout a little louder when he was talking to you... Sorry gramps, we heard that anyway. You don't have to shout over it. Just cause you didn't hear it, doesn't mean the rest of the world can't. :happy:

    Great question to ponder....:smokin:
    When are we just too old to care?
    I suppose when I am in diapers. I want it loud, wet and smelly :drinker:

    Dont think there is an age! my ma has been doing it for years... she worked in retail and she'd tell me she would go down an aisle and kinda tidy up where there was no customers and let one rip. It was always her luck to have someone walk up that aisle right after she did and she'd scoot out the other way knowing it was a rank one she let loose... giggling as she left.

    People always say where ever you be let your wind blow free! Lol

    I fart all the time, and now it's cute since I'm a waddly pregnant lady. SCORE!

    EDIT: I also have pretty much no control over my flatulence right now. I blame the baby.

    I was with my mom and one year old a few years back at best buy trying to talk to a sales person and I kept checking my babies diaper I'm talking like over a period of like 10 minutes because man it was ripe! I kept appologizing to the sales person but my baby seems to have gas or something. We leave the store and my mom bust out laughing she said it wasn't the baby it was me, she was like I'm sorry I just couldn't hold it in....I'm like you kept letting them go for 10 minutes and let me blame my baby?!? yeah it was a little funny but man it STUNK!

    Reading this reminds me of one of the funniest farts stories that I have lived though! I was at work and it was myself, my boss, our admin assistant and a co-worker. We were all setting up tables in the confrence center for a large meeting. The table locked together and you had to get under the table to lock them in place. Well our admin assist squatted down to get under the table and just let one rip. I was under the table trying not to laugh my *kitten* off because it was so funny to here a prim and proper lady in her mid 50's fart. The best part was when she says oops I think if farted hope it doesn't smell and leave a mark like it was no big deal...My boss and co-worker ran out of the room laughing...

    If you have to fart, you have to fart. It's something the human body does. No reason to be ashamed of a natural bodily function.

    This, because everyone does it. Those of you who NEVER FART EVER, what do you do when you have to? Run off into the bathroom, and fart? Do you also do this when you sneeze? That's also something that your body does, expelling air from it, AND making a weird noise..
  • heck i pick up speed from farting while i walk like a super charger i go into overdrive lollll

    Omg! I can't stop laughing!!!!!! That ish is hilarious!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
