News Flash Everybody Farts!

Published

I have read a couple of posts lately where people are complaining about people farting breaking wind, passing gas etc...

What exactly is the big deal? The average person farts 14 to 20 times a day and if you say you don't fart you're either lying or you are an alien species.

Yes it can be gross and smell bad but it's like poop it just happens sometimes.

Hppy

There are too many really serious problems in this world to get your undies in a bunch over some people having a giggle over farts.

Asking those who routinely fart at the nurses station to fill their pockets with potpourri isn't a tall order..

You know they blame it on you right?

Asking those with sensitive noses and holier than thou attitudes to wear nose plugs isn't, either. Put a little Vicks or some peppermint oil just under your nose and quit trying to control the people around you.

It's not about having a "sensitive nose." Gas is unpleasant for anyone. Why should others have to be inconvenienced when you're the one afflicting others with your odor? That is why older people fill their pockets with potpourri. It's basic common courtesy. It's also the reason that we as a society consider farting in the workplace to be unprofessional and tasteless.

I've never seen an older person fill their pockets with potpourri.

This is not a Long Island thing.

Apparently not a Chicago thing, either.

Maybe it isn't potpourri he's smelling-maybe they just fart roses??

I really don't get the potpourri thing. Unless the culprit manages to fart through their pockets, what good is the potpourri? Do folks sprinkle it around as they are expelling gas?
