Farting

I see you posted this in the listener category, Do you listen for farts often ? It has been said that if you don't fart you will explode

I think people should master the art of farting. For example, when you are seating at a dinner table with a group of friends and suddenly you feel like farting, try to control it and make excuses to go to the rest room. On the way to the rest room, try to fart slowly while walking. I know its not good to hold your fart but its not a good manners to fart loudly in front of others. I often use this technique myself and I find it very effective in order not to disturb the others while they are having their meal.

If you have the need to fart, and do not want to do it around others. Politely tell others that you need to leave the room go to a restroom or and open area with no people around, and let 'er rip! Look, everyone has gas, but you just let out a silent one or go let one out where no one knows you did it.

Ah yes, now here is a topic that is bound to get a lot of hot air as a response (sorry, couldn't resist the pun). The brief answer to this is, no, of course it isn't good manners to fart in public. But it isn't as simple as that. There are many kinds of farts, and some of them happen with no warning, and you can't stop it. So while it may be bad manners, it isn't really your fault, which makes you wonder if it really IS bad manners, since manners implies that you have a choice on how you behave. Now, having said that, you can, with practice, let the gas out without making a noise. Yes, people may still smell it, but if your in a crowd then no one can pinpoint it as coming from you.

I try very hard not to fart when in a large crowd, even if it's an SBD (Silent But Deadly)one. If I can't possibly hold it in as an SBD, I'll go outside or somewhere where there aren't a lot of people around. I just think it's bad manners to let one rip loudly in any gathering, large or small.

It may not sound good or even smell good but it is just a fact of life. It is better to fart then to hold it in. Some people say you should go to the bathroom or away from others but that is not always possible as sometimes people start walking and it just comes out. There are other bad habits that people have and they can control them but it is hard to control when you are going to fart.

LOL...I know what you mean. They say to suppress it is not so good, so just let it all out, ha. However, if it's in a real public place like a restaurant, it's best to retain those farts. If really needed to, go to the restroom and let it go. LOL..I can't believe I'm saying this. Good topic, we need to know about this once in awhile. There are also some tips in not getting farts for those really active, easily bloated people. Avoid cold drinks and gassy ones. That's what someone told me. And also try to avoid foods that are too cold or something.

farting is fun, farting is healthy because it releases gas that made us bloated, farting is disgusting after you smell it when it explodes--but is there a comfort room or a place for us to fart? ANYWHERE! lol. But do it with dignity and finesse for a great relief! It's a challenge for me and my husband at home (sound, smell)but not in public pleaseeeeeeeee!

Well, farting sometimes is inevitable so you really can't control it and it just comes out suddenly. I would consider it more of a "bad manner" to look down or to laugh at a person who did the farting especially if he or she is really embarrassed already. But for those times that you have the power to control it, I think it's better to fart discretely. Though some people are able to turn a fart into an ice breaker in a social gathering, I think it would really depend on how well the person knows the other people present. Some people are not too open to such acts and some are just fine with it. So if you are confident that the people you are with are fine with what you farting in front of them, then maybe it's fine. What needs to be remebered is that you can never do anything you want in front of others. Farting is not just something that you can do anywhere because it doesn't just affect you, but the other people around you as well... lol

Only if your among rednecks...lol

That was funny but dangerous smell. I only do fart on a place that there's no people around and especially outside the air conditioned area. But if I can't take it anymore, there's no way I can do but to release it badly. That was totally ridiculous!

At least in my country farting, loudly or not, in front of others is really bad manners. We don't need to cut our body to get rid of gas, we can just go to the bathroom and do it there, where we won't bother others with our gases smell.

Of course not! I think its very rude to do it so loudly. I think u can excuse yourself atleast to release it somewhere.. lol! Yes, I've heard of that - suppressing it is bad to the body but I dont know I still think its unethical to fart in public loudly. :)
