Do you check around before you fart?

Sometimes, we feel like farting and farting is something that probably couldn't be controlled. The problem is some people simply don't check their surroundings before they fart! Haha.. Do you check your surroundings before you fart to ensure that no one's nearby so that you can fart in peace or do you just let all hells go loose and don't give a damn about the people nearby? As for me, I let all hells loose when I'm with my friends and family. But in the public, I try to remain discreet whenever possible.. Haha.. How about you?

ha ha ha.. weird post but hilarious. This is the first post I checked and made me laugh out loud! yep true everybody farts but i dont know why we feel apologetic about a natural bodily reaction. like all i do feel embarassed but if i cant control it I cant. so just move away as soon as I can.

I think it's instilled in us since young. By farting, we are hurting the nostrils of people nearby and therefore we'll have to feel apologetic.. :)

I live alone so there are many things I can do without checking out around me first

It's not a bit embarrasing. It's very embarrasing in fact.. I'll always try to have a backup plan.. SUch as drag my shoe or talk loudly to cover the sound.. As for the smell, that can't be helped. Just pretend that you're also a victim of a fart attack! hahaha..

What if you feel a big one coming? A tidal wave.. Haha.. If I were to feel a tidal wave, I'll probably drag a chair to hide the sound.. As for the smell, just blame it to the burning rubber.. hahaha.. Tips of the day: Fart only when there's a chair nearby.. Happy mylotting!

Well, I will check around before farting. This is a kind of respect to other people. However, it is difficult for us to ctroll it sometimes. This kind of situation is very embrassing. Even with my friends or families, I still watch out. For example, before the young child, I want to set a good example for them. So I will not do it before them.

I always look around. I do not even want my family to hear or smell my farts. The worst is when I am in school and I have gas. I try to go to my car or if I am in the bathroom I will make sure no one else is around. I know farting is a natural body function but I dont like other peoples farts so I assume people dont like mine either. I am embarrassed even if I fart around my kids. My boyfriend on the other hand will fart around anyone in his family. He does fart around me, but only the silent ones. Men seem to not care as much, in my opinion, who is around when he needs to pass gas.

I usually have a quick look around before I fart but then once I've known someone for a while, I don't care if I fart in front of them. I don't fart at work, some of the women I work with would wrinckle up their noses lol and I'd prefer not to annoy them when I work with them lol

HMMMM..a great topic! I think its funny how people all try to hide it. Each and every one of us does it and we all know we do. SO what is the stigma behind it that we have to hide it? We meet a new girl/guy. We suddenly dont fart for a year! Imagine..me fart! Never!...but once we get used to them, its a different story my friend...lol If its friends , I dont care, Otherwise, you will never know!

Yeah, we'll never know how the guy/girl would never wanna become our friends because of our fart.. Imagine that.. A: I don't we could be friends anymore. B: But why?? Whats wrong with me? What wrong have I done? I have been so nice to you all along.. The movies, the rides, our adventures together. Why are you doing this to me?? A: I can't stand your fart. B: -__- Hahaha.. Happy mylotting, Ramsay..

It all depends on where I am. If I'm home with my fiancee or at my parents house, I tend to just let it go. At work or out in public I just hold it until I can be alone. You never know if it might smell and I don't want a trail of stink following me. lol Sometimes if I can't hold it in, in public, I just find a spot where noone would hear it and let it go. lol

Whenever I'm around someone like my friends and family I will fart as much as I can. The more the better. On the other hand I sometimes do the same in public. I seem to notice around me (the public) when it's to late

Farting is not controllable when it come to rael time but sometime we never look around for once it is very bad for health if you do not fart but still as human we have to care care of others to result : fart when you want but find open and lonly space but you can't find a lonely place do keep can of small freshner in pocket.

Hi, zahfran! Yes, I do check around when I am in public. I will try to move around and turn the other way. I usually will walk off and let it out farther away.. I have even passed by people and I gassed. That is only when I can't no longer hold it in.. So, but when I am at home, I may try to go in another room or the bathroom. My hubbie gets irritated when I fart.
@zahfran (851)

hello cream97, why should he be irritated? Doesn't he fart? Anyway, you should teach him to try and love your fart.. Cuz appreciating each other's fart is a sign of true love.. hahahhaha..

I usually fart first then remember that I need to look around. However, in my last job, there was this important meeting with all the big bosses, and I felt like farting and for that hour I had to try to keep it in. Most of the times I just let loose, especially around family members. Sometimes in the middle of a conversation with my brother, I could fart and he would be like, "Did you just fart???!!!" and I'll be like, "Sorry..."
