pulling your pants down and taking a dump is much different than passing gas. I think if someone has a gas problem, they should carry some type of OTC medication with them like Gas-X or Beano. I don't think people should fart in public on purpose, especially because their foul smell could offend. But, if you gotta fart, you gotta fart. Just make sure it's not in an enclosed space like an elevator or car. Making others smell your nasty gas is just rude and gross. But I'd saying farting is pretty natural just not a beautiful thing.

Holding in gas for extended periods can cause quite a bit of discomfort. If a public restroom is not immediately available, then farting in public is not a major calamity.
On the other hand, I believe that bending over, spreading your cheeks, yelling "watch this y'all" and holding a lighter up to you butt while farting in public might be a bit of a blunder.

When, oh when, will the insanity stop? Not farting leads to a backup of gasses that can, as gas does, rise. Once in the brain, this gas will affect reason, perception, and cause general discombobulation. Not farting is considered one of the leading causes of midlife crisis and spontaneous human combustion (didn't you see the South Park?).

A lot of things are natural body functions. You still don't do them in public. I think its gross, some men are even proud of it I wonder why, every Idiot can fart.

Only guys feel this way....
There are MANY things you DO NOT do in public...out of sheer politeness...etiquette and decency. Ask him if HE would like smell other people's gassy-emissions???? I would guess the answer is no...or would he be turned on and follow a girl who did that as she walked by....????
My husband quit seeing a particular Dr because this guy seemed to fart EVERY SINGLE time my husband went to see him..and would smell up that little exam room...it was NASTY!
You are right....we don't pee, poop or do other bodily functions in public for a reason....tell him to keep his noxious odors to HIMSELF!

I agree with you 100%. It is not acceptable in public. If you gotta release air you either hold it, or make a dash to the public bathroom just like you do when you have to take that sh*t you speak of.

This is a social faux pas and is NOT acceptable in public. In the privacy of your own home, or the home of some of his fellow fart-loving friends, flatulence is considered acceptable and may even lead to competetive farting. However, in front of a lady - NEVER EVER acceptable. Period.

Yea its natural but the thing is...it's gross and if someone farts in front of me like while im eating or something it totally grosses me out and ill lose my appetite. I think people should have respect for people that think you shouldn't do it in public...whether they think its fine or not. But to me it is gross and if someone beside me I did not know farted I would be disgusted

I think if one feels a fart coming on they should find a bathroom and let it out there. There is nothing worst then walking past someone of standing next to someone that just cut the cheese.
