News Flash Everybody Farts!

Nurses General Nursing

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.

I only poop at home or at my mom's, unless I am sick, or on vacation.

Yea, guess I failed that developmental stage!

My husband's right there with you......maybe I'm just some pooping freak??? :eek:

(I was actually referring to pooping out in the open, in front of other people (like, at the nurses' station), not just using a restroom away from home ...)

Oh yeah no, I'd never do that. What am I, some kind of monster??? :wideyed:

You kind of lose poop shyness after being deployed!

I was under the impression that women did not poop or fart.

What is this sorcery?

You know what I hate? When you go into a bathroom that was funked up by the person before you, and as you are leaving, there is someone waiting there who probably thinks YOU did it! 😒

(Why don't people courtesy flush? You know...flush that bad boy down as soon as it leaves the shute so it doesn't smell up the place....)

I am a big time camper and I don't mean the type with campgrounds and toilets and showers - I mean stepping behind a tree and digging a cat trench. Never understood people who can only poop at home (My gastro actually told be it is very bad for you to hold it in all day and can lead to all kinds of problems a psychiatrist told me it's actually a form of mental illness) But I have always worn my MI with pride anyway.
