News Flash Everybody Farts!

[hppygr8ful]

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

Am I the only one that just blames it on the patients?

We blame it on the babies where I work

Hehehe my husband gets what Larry the Cable Guy calls the "walkin' farts", especially at night. I just figure it makes him easier to find in the dark.

OMG! I laughed hysterically at that one! My husband thinks I lost my mind. I'll add what he says when he farts (Using and Australian accent) "The elusive desert spider, often heard but never seen"

When I was a young girl, my father would frequently pass gas, no matter where or what was going on around him. He insisted that his doctor told him it was not good for him to try to hold it in, so he would let it fly, often at the dinner table. One night when this happened, my baby brother, who was about 4 at the time, exclaimed, "Daddy, that was bad enough to kill a dinosaur!" Ever after that, whenever Dad farted, he was "killing dinosaurs."

I'm absolutely cackling from reading this thread! I'm the non-politically-correct girl. Before becoming a nurse, I spent four years working in auto parts. My coworkers took off running if I walked up to them and said, "Hey. You guys wanna hear something funny?" I used to stick my butt in my bosses office, fill er up with a big fart, and shut the door. He'd get so mad.

I knew I'd met my best friend in nursing school when we were walking out the door on break, and he looked at me with a half grin and farted this long trumpted as we walked across the parking lot. When we turned around, the bench was full of girls from another class who were also on break. I laughed until I cried. Love this forum! Love farts. Farts are great.

I will confess to my most horrible fart story. I was working as a CNA and went into a room to get the patient into a wheel chair. A SBD slipped out and was rank. The patient scolded her husband for befouling the room and he apologized! Yes, the patient's husband took the blame for my fart.

Thank you! My Grandma used to ask me all the time what type of shenanigans have I been up to when I was a kid. lol

I have been married for almost 25 years, and my husband has never, not one time, passed gas in front of me.

I cannot believe that someone started a thread about flatus. So uncouth.

It is a normal function of the body, but, if there are digestive issues (which may be affected by what goes in the body such as medication, unnatural foods, etc.), then it will be "bad" or more often. The body then has a more difficult time processing synthetic and foreign substances. I would say it's the problem with IBS also. Now, some may say "I have a healthy diet", but, it would also depend on the way the "healthy" foods are grown and processed. Just an fyi :)
