Etiquette Inside The Train - Let out gas... / myLot

I do hope that no one thinks this post is offensive. I did not sleep well last night. So on the train this morning I closed my eyes and tried to relax my mind. Suddenly I smelled something stinky. I realized that someone farted. I am not sure if that person could have held it for a little bit and got out of the next station and then get on the next train so that we would not have smelled it. If you were this person, would you do the same? What do you say?

One way or another, i'M SURE THERE IS A WAY FOR THE GUY TO NOT FART. He should've at least made sure before boarding the train to finish off his morning ritual. So I guess when he boarded the train, he is feeling quite uneasy and he also feel needing the bathroom. It is unethical but we can't command nor request others to be polite and ethical in public transpo.

hahaha that's true too. But I guess he should've just boarded off the train and look for a washroom, but I guess if it's in the morning, rush hour, then I guess he wouldn't have a choice but to do it inside. (u

To toot to cut the cheese, that's rude. Perhaps the person can not control the nature call, since the train is on mobile.

That could be the reason or the person is already late for an appointment and could not take the chance of getting off the train and waiting for the next one

I have heard that it is just okay to fart because it is not good for our health if we will just held it...but I think it is unethical to do it in a public places...lolz...whatever the consequences that I may get of not releasing it, I think I better do it that have shared it with the rest of the public surrounding me...

You have a point. There might be bad effects if you do not release it

Thanks a ton for your discussion. Well yes u are absolutely right, people while on train should be very much careful about their co passengers and make sure that they do not feel uncomfortable with their mannerisms or behavior. i think whoever has done this should feel bad and be regretful and should not repeat his mistake. What say?

Absolutely right. We should be mindful of others. We should remember the golden rule "do not do unto others what you do not like to do unto you"

Hi, Some people don't have etiquette. Some people don't feel shameful by farting in public places. They feel it is normal. I don't do the same. If I have this problem I would go away from the public and release gas. It is very embarrassing to fart in public.

I do the same thing. I move away from public if I need to do these things. No problem if it is odourless but what if it smells. LOL

I think people talk a good game about etiquette until it they're sitting there and need to fart, at that point they just hope the smell doesn't travel too far.

Like what I said, if it can be held for a little bit more and they can step out of the train, the better.

have you ever tried to hold in a fart? We'd all like to, but it does not always work that way. Passing gas is a part of life. I hope not to be near someone who does it, but when it's got to come out, it's got to come out. That's nature! Can you think of any other animal in existance that would hold in a fart? LOL
