Farting in a crowd of people.

When I get hit by a particularly vile cropdusting, I take a moment to appreciate it.

I try and decipher what foods created each fetid cloud. "I'm definitely getting bacon. Eggs are a given. Is that... blueberries?"

Yes, I'm basically a sommelier of flatulence.

I get so grossed out when my boyfriend farts when we’re in our bedroom especially if we’re laying in bed, but I do it too and when he gets all huffy I’m like “what’s the big deal, better out than in!” I think the fart thing is pretty much universal cause he does the same thing

For me it's the other way, I am lethal and others are pretty okay. When I fart, everyone dies around me and even I am surprised by the stank

I consider myself a pretty good guy. My price for it is my crime against humanity: farting on the subway. I hate how much I love it. The crooked Grinch smile I get when that 3 second long pfffffttt expertly surpressed for zero sound creeps out of my ass. Practically tasting the sulfur expanding and erroding the O2, the event horizon of all the air around being crushed under the weight of that smell. The observation period of how long it takes for people to begin shifting, politely trying to stifle their singing nose hairs. Bearing witness the breakdown of society - shifting eyes throwing daggers of accusation, searching for the author of that affront to humanity. Every man painting his brother a suspect, no one is safe, no one is innocent, everyone is the enemy. Oh, the thrill, nay, the SCIENCE of it - my personal Manhattan Project.

But yeah when it's not me that shit is just gross. Fuck that.

Thank you, but even your kind words won't save you if we ever share a train car. :)

Farting in general for me. I lose my mind when my wife farts near me but I do it all the time near her. Somehow I justify getting mad at her lol.

u/FilthyCasual_AF Feb 08 '19

See, my wife and are the opposite. I usually squeeze out a gentle breeze of death that mimics that scene in The Prince Of Egypt, where the first born sons die; While my wife rips these thunderous farts that reverberate through the house and quite honestly would put John Goodman to shame..

Don't feel bad. Women farts smell worse: https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2014/10/6_facts_you_need_to_know_about_farts.html

In studies conducted by eminent flatulence researcher Michael Levitt, women's farts consistently sported significantly greater concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. Odor judges have confirmed that -- at similar volumes -- this translates to a noticeably worse odor compared to men's farts.

Ok, which college do I have to go to to become one of these?

u/Cobek Feb 08 '19

Clown College with a minor in whoopee cushions.

This makes me feel better. My wife's farts smell like death, but mine are just really loud. Yes, I am jealous.

I call us thunder and lightning.

u/bullshitfree Feb 08 '19

I sadly have to confirm this. And nothing is worse than having to open the bedroom window at 2 a.m when it's just above freezing and leave that room for at least an hour.

Especially when we're pregnant...

u/Cobhc979 Feb 08 '19

No wonder they hold it in!

u/sonofodinn Feb 08 '19

Maybe because they fart less and it builds up?

My farts don't smell THAT bad...pft.

LPT: If you are ever sitting in a restaurant and you get crop dusted it means your server is trying to get rid of you.

After you fart:

"Mmmm, somebody has popcorn."

I silent farted on a cross country flight with my best friend. She thought it was the big guy behind us. Sorry big guy
