What's everyone's views on farting in public. Most people get disgusted by it, but it's just one of those things you can't control and when you gotta let it go you should.

Dr. Oz, (co-author of "YOU, the owner's manual") and a frequent guest on Oprah, says the average person farts 13 times a day. If you gotta go, just try to find an unpopulated area and cut the cheese. Although people my find it offensive, I have found that I tend to laugh when someone passes gas. I even saw a Michigan auto license plate that says, "IPASGAS". When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!

When I was in high school, my male classmate had gas problems. He would often fart out loud in class and when people looked at him and laughed, he acted like it was nothing. He also never apologized for it and I was even sitting next to him! It stunk so bad, the walls would turn green. For women, women have the power to control that problem. If we have to pass gas, we would go outside to let it out or to a different place where there is less people.

No you shouldn't just let it go. If you're polite, you would go to the bathroom and do that or atleast leave the room so others don't have to smell it. It's gross and no one should have to smell someone elses butt.

its something that can be very embarassing. but i dont think people should make a big deal out of something that we all have to do on a daily basis, unless the person is voluntarily being rude. if you know you have gas, you should excuse yourself, but if its an accident theres nothing you can do but apologize or pretend it wasnt you!
