Fart Etiquette

So, I have this very good friend whom I love dearly. Said friend has passed gas both times I've seen her this week. This is definitely breaking new ground for us. She is a "lady" in every sense of the word, so I know it's completely accidental. But, I honestly don't know how I should react. Thus far, she's said, "excuse me" and I've pretended like nothing happened.

What would YOU do? And what might Miss Manners suggest (in case the answers are different)?

lol, I'd have to laugh.

Me too!Seriously Its life. Relax!!!!!

I am relaxed. While I am curious how people tend to respond, I posted this completely in jest. Sorry that didn't come through.

<~~~~~~~~ Your dear friend.

Jammer, my best friend is the same way; a perfect lady. In fact, I've only known her to need a restroom one or two times in the 16 yrs I've known her. BUT, OMGosh!! Every once in a while, she'll "queef" silently. You've heard of "silent but deadly," right!

Up until this year, I've always acted like I had no idea or didn't smell a thing, but earlier this year, it was totally impossible to let it go. I "caught wind" of what she'd done and immediately wheeled myself backward away from her and whispered loud enough for her to hear "Judas H. Priest, Monika!!!!!!" She turned beet red and went around the corner of the display stand.

Honestly!! I made her walk down an isle and turn two corners so she'd leave it behind her!!! We didn't go back to look at what been looking at when it happened. Also, I haven't let her live it down! It was a killer!

Betterm out than in, seriously I had a friend who couldn't fart or burb, and every 3 months she had to go to her Dr and he had to place a tube into her stomach area to relieve the built up gas
like the others said just laugh it off we all do it

Tomi, I don't know how to put this exactly; but I always thought queefing was something very different. Well.......not COMPLETELY different. Same sort of release of air, just out of.........ahem.........a different part of the body.

Thankfully, my friend hasn't been smelly just yet. I have a cousin who could clear a room, though. She thinks burping is gross; but, she'll fart like it's nothing. We've had to set ground rules for the car, it's gotten so bad.

my boyfriend and I try to outfart each other sometimes

HUH??? I know of only two places on MY body that release gas!! That gas is either called a brup or a fart/queef. NO???

Have either one of you ever lit your farts??? The young man to your left has given the family many very good laughs doing that!

I guess I'm going to have to be blunt. The best way I can think to describe it is using Wikipedia's term - vaginal flatulence.

Google "queef" and you'll see. On wikipedia, scroll down to the "slang" section.

I know what was meant! I've just never experienced it! And it was her son that used that term for her farts. Maybe I was dense that day. LMBO

I'm sort of amazed we're having this discussion. But it's been really good for a laugh.

oh my god lol I am really laughing here!!

rainbowz you do that in front of your bf? oh gosh!! I would die from embarassment!!

bebop - it all started with a little sneaker which I couldnt stop. I nearly died of embarassment, but to make me feel better he waited a few and farted too, so that I wouldnt feel aone bless his heart, ok its not the most romantic thing but you know, I thought it was cute.

Now, we just be as polite as we can, and sometimes try to outfart/outburp each other when in a silly mood - its like bein a kid - potty humor I guess.
hehe

my hubby does it in front of me but no way would I do it intentionally!! lol

i have NEVER laughed so hard in my life reading these posts. it's quite humorous. my husband will fart occasionally and we'll laugh, and god knows i fart, but i don't mean to. i laugh histerically when i do it. what a funny post. thanks......i needed a laugh.
sniffles

better to fart and smell a little, than keep it in and be a cripple

i don't respond to a whole lot of threads so i can't believe that i'm responding to a fart thread...lol......but its always been my view that if you can fart in front of someone and not feel uncomfortable then you have risen to another level in your relationship! lol....now i'm going to get a little personnal but i have to say that the worst time to fart has to be during sex.....sure destroys the mood....lol (sorry that may have been too much info!lol)

Way to much information!!!!

sorry.........lol

a couple weeks ago a friend came over to watch a movie. just after she sat down, she being a large woman, she started popping farts. pop pop pop pop pop like every second popped another pop. it went on and on and on. i wanted to say something like,"oooow, i can't do that!" but instead we both just carried on and pretended nothing was happening. pop pop pop it was a first, so though we've known each other well for 22 years, cossing this line this makes us family.

butterfly that is so funny I am laughing my hinny off lol guess it would be true though lol thanks! I needed that this morning!

I like to fart while riding up an escalator...think about it!

Alternately, while just exiting an elevator is quite satisfying, too...
