Not only does everybody know it was you, but it came out like a high pitched whistling sound because you were trying to hold it in.

You do absolutely nothing.
This is one of the quirks of etiquette. One is assumed not to be in control of flatulence. Therefore anyone saying or doing anything [including the "culprit"] calls attention to it and is being rude. Everyone is supposed to pretend it never happened.
This is different from a burp. One is assumed to be in control of a burp, and an "excuse me" is expected.
I don't make the rules, but I read about them and remember them!

I would say I do believe someone has pooted on us.
Once when in an elevator in Flint Michigan-one of the three that still work in Flint-I thought I was passing gas when I squirted the mess down my leg. The smell was really bad and when we got on the ground floor, I said to the two guys riding in the car with me Boys, that was pretty bad in the elevator wasn't it? When they agreed, I told them that they hadn't had the good stuff yet as I was driving their ride back to the hotel. Outside tempature was a blistering 17 degrees F and these two dudes rode the ten miles to the hotel with their heads out the windows.

I would say, 'Look, I was really trying to hold it in. I am sorry, but, be glad I did not sh!t on myself and let you smell the sh!t that was jammed up my a$$ and is now stuck to my a$$ and under ware! I got to walk around knowing I broke wind and am embarrassed! Motherf@ckers....I feel embarrass! one day, your sorry a$$es are going to go through the same thing, but, you might not be so luck. You may have diarrhea and have sh!t running down your leg and making a squishy sound in your shoes! Then I would stare at you and see HOW the hell you feel!

At that point the best course is to admit it was you and apologize. Yes, it's embarassing but chances are that if you're a guy, there will be a woman in the elevator who will be so impressed by your honesty, she will ask you to go home with her that night.

I would pray that all the people there have a high pitched hearing loss.

Hey...be loud and proud.
Pace like Dustin Hoffman in Rainman......and say uh oh...uh oh..fart
It is better to fart and feel the shame then hold it in and feel the pain.

You put a very disgusted look on your face and glower at the person next to you.
