If you fart when in company …

My husband would automatically pipe up and say' Pardon me' !!

he's well trained ;-)

Blimey, all I'm short of is a kite at times. No wonder I'm on my own cats don't care though.

Laughed so hard at this think I’ve cracked a rib!

My grandfather always used to say, 'Sorry, ships biscuits'.

I'm always afraid I might let rip in my yoga class. One lady does regularly, and I try not to catch anyone's eye as I would giggle.

If I'm in company I just excuse myself for " speaking out of turn ".

This problem is one of my nightmares as I have absolutely no sense of smell and am quite windy. I never know if I have offended or not as I am told that not all are smelly. For this reason I never apologize, just look innocent and hope for the best.

I fart glitter and rose petals

I never fart…… ?

Welcome Gwan1. I know GN is a bit confusing at first. I suggest you go to 'Forums' then 'Health' and 'start new discussion' then add your post like you did here. I hope you get some helpful replies. If you choose 'watch this thread' after posting you can keep an eye out for comments by going to 'watching'. Hope I haven't made it sound too complicated!

Think I have posted on wrong page,sorry I'm quite new to this.

Hi,does anyone have problems with feeling tired all the time? I sleep really well and get up easily. I find as soon as I eat breakfast I am tired .Same after other meals too.Any advice please.

Ignore, with as much aplomb as you can muster, if it was you.
That is, if you’re not with family, in which case you can say, ‘Hmm, interesting bouquet, that one,’ or some such.

The most embarrassing one I ever did was in a busy cafe at Heathrow, while waiting to meet dh.

Got up to check the arrivals board, didn’t realise floor was wet, slipped, very nearly went arse over breakfast time (as my father used to say), just managed to save myself, but at the same time let out a monumentally noisy one. ?

How I managed to summon the aplomb to keep going as if nothing had happened, I will never know.

I have laughed so much at this thread, so much so that when reading some stories to my partner, I needed to do the deed, I now have a stomuch ache as I held it in.

My late partner would always say “ goodness , there’s lots of creaky floorboard's about…. “ with a tell - tale twinkle in his eye .

Omaoma57. Absolutely love this. If I’m brave enough I’m going to try saying that next time.

Zoejory but when you get older you’ll find that they pop out unannounced. Those are the situations I’m seeking advice on.

Lucca -. Exactly the type of situation I mean. A man in my yoga class does it often - says nothing and gets away with it. I always feel everyone must know it’s me when I do it and am mortified.

GillT57 yaah darling

My grandfather used to shout "speak up caller, you're through!" if anyone accidentally let one slip.

All so funny, made me laugh till I ……..
A friend used to all it a ‘botty burp’.

One of my most memorable fun times with the GCs was when the oldest, then 11, had received his first mobile phone. It took ages for him to produce a fart which he was able to record as his ring tone!

I heard a discussion Radio 4 about coughing. How someone with a cough has become the new social Peoria.
It finished with the thought at one time a person would cough to cover a fart now you might fart to cover a cough!

My MIL, prone to farting, used to kick the leg of a chair or make some bustle of noise following the fart as if to disguise it (too late). I find myself doing that now…
Yes, yoga is dangerous territory for farting. I remember lifting my legs high in the air and embarrassing myself. Music plays in the background these days, which is better.
Thanks for a fun thread!

One of the reasons I don’t do yoga anymore ….I’m sure I would be guilty of several misdemeanours due to a recent unfortunate increase in flatulence.

A lady did fart in a Pilates class I attended once. I thought I would choke trying to stop giggling. .
