    OK, I know this is probably a bit weird, but... let's talk about farting.

    Do you think it's acceptable to fart in public? Have you ever farted in public... like school, work, public transport?

    I mean, sometimes you just can't hold it in, right?

    So... what do you think?

    I think people make to big of a deal of it, it's a normal thing to do. And most people can't help when they fart. Maybe TMI, but I'm a silent farter so...:lol:

    I know, right! :icon_lol:
    Hahaha, silent farter! That actually sounded kinda cute. :roflmao:
    :eusa_shif - the face one makes whenever they feel a loud and raging fart they're about to release in the public transport, but it turns out to be just a silent 'puh'. Oh, the relief. :grin:

    I know whatchu talking about. :grin:

    Why sneak away? I say OWN IT! :laugh:

    Reminds me of an Oatmeal comic. Sneezing is publicly acceptable, even though you're spreading thousands of germs at lightning speeds while farting, which doesn't hurt anyone except for sensibilities is considered the last thing you should ever do in public.

    Personally, it shouldn't be an issue. Just do a sbd.

    As long as it doesn't smell it's fine.

    I don't think its acceptable in public, especially in close quarters. It's technically okay in public if you're far enough away from other people. Otherwise it's gross, rude, and disruptive. I will give you a dirty look. Very rare are the instances one can't hold it in until you're in private, unless you have some sort of issue.

    Pretty sure you can't always hold in a sneeze. Also, it's not acceptable to sneeze without covering.

    Farting in public is fine as long as you are in an open and well ventilated space away from others.

    Oh trick I learned is to do it next to an old person because everyone will think it's them. It's evil but it works

    I think it's just as acceptable as burping or sneezing. Bodies just do things. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: That said, I still get very embarrassed by these strange, involuntary, corporeal events.

    One time I was talking to this lady, and in the middle of her sentence she ripped a big one, excused herself, then just continued talking :grin: I've never been so impressed with someone.

    How is farting involuntary? I do not get the comparison to sneezing at all. Maybe my body is different than everyone elses, but I can wait until I am in private and not around other people. I know sometimes older people cannot help it, or people with certain disorders maybe, but for the rest of the population, it seems completey voluntary, unlike sneezing.

    You are the devil! :roflmao: I like you. :grin:

    That sure is impressive! :grin:

    I remember one time I was at work, speaking to a client when I just let a loud one out, I wasn't sure if he understood what happend, so I just moved the chair and said - 'gosh, these chairs, man' and kept on talking until a second one was on its way, so I just left my colleague with him and said 'Oh, I forgot something in the other room' while I was walking out of the room. :grin: Well, I'm pretty sure they heard the second one. :icon_redf

    It's not really pleasant, but is this even something that is contested? I hardly expect people to hold in their emissions for the entire time they're in public; that's got to be unhealthy XD.

    I never really fart in public; but when I do, it's a SBD around a group of people... When this happens; I quickly exit the scene and people point fingers at each other. XD

    I usually fart a lot when I'm at home or alone or something. XP

    My rules are

    1) is anyone going to hear me? If no then
    2) am I moving through a hallway and therefore once I traverse a corner, will anyone know it was me? If no, then

    yes, farting in public is fine. I try to fart even when it's not completely necessary.
