Cooking for girlfriend and her female friends one night. They were all in the kitchen yapping when i was trying to finish the dinner. I was so rushed that when I bent over to pull the roasted chickens out of the oven, a nice loud one escaped. I can see their face even now. Everyone quite with their wine glasses staring at me.

"Now that's some chicken. Wow, do you smell that?"

They all left the kitchen and let me alone.

I remember letting a few go off in my mothers womb, I wasnt embarased but my mother was when she queffed out my fart durring a dinner party or two :eek:

You know think about that one for a second though on a serious note, do think a baby actually does do that though in the womb? Maybe thats the real reason women get so bloated when they are pegnant :D

I don't think anyone will top this. You guys should give up.

I recall a story of this nature before, which may have been from Schadenfroh, concerning scatological antics. I think it was deemed to be shens, though I may be mistaken.

Link? I did not copy this from anywhere else, but I did link this story in another thread to this thread. Ask anyone in Business Calculus 8:30 AM, T/TH at my college;) The prof. retired that year, not sure if it was related.

that other thread is here:

I guess it wasn't you then.
Someone had posted a big story months ago about using a public restroom and making a huge mess, and eventually the whole room had to be hosed off.

Got in an elevator on the 36th floor then suddenly had the urgent need to release, figured it was late (after 1 A.M.) so it should be ok and let rip. Elevator then stops on the 31st floor to pick up two rather attractive girls. Only by the 25th floor does the horror that I had unleashed become apparent.

When I was in elementary, I let one rip in Art class. I think everyone around me knew it was me, but the teacher didn't. She didn't realize that the smell was a fart, and hit the button to call the office over the PA and ask if they could get a janitor down there, because something smelled like rotten eggs!

I was jogging a few weeks ago and had some nasty gas. It was at night and I had been jogging ~4 miles and my mind was in the zone. I didn't notice anyone on the street (actually I didn't really look) and so I just let it go (on beat with my pace so I could blame it on my shoes). Two seconds later I see a lady walking her dog on the street not 20 feet away. As I passed and wave at her she was laughing.

I had been called up to see the captain of my ship. (The captain of an aircraft carrier is one bad mofo as far as miltiary is concerned.) I put on my best uniform , got a haircut and was freshly shaved.

I headed up to the pilot house ( the bridge) as the captain and I were talking a loud one slipped out. About 20 people turned to look at me in shock. He raised an eyebrow and continued talking like nothing happened. I thought I was going to freakin die.

Meltdown, I can relate to that one too, something similar happened to me, but they never find out who did it. You made me crying loughing with those fonds memories.

Ahhhh, I feel better now :), what a relief.

Easy, 10th grade. I had a class that was in the room next to my previous class, so I'd go in and sit my books down and go BS around until it was time for class. Well, one day I went in, and as usual, not another soul around. I needed to drop ass, and I figured what the hell, no one's around. So I did, and went out in the hallway. A few minutes pass, and I re enter the room with a few people who sat near me in class. Much to my surprise (and theirs) the smell was VERY strong and VERY rank, despite a few minutes passing.

i was over at our new warehouse last week with my boss. i was standing off to the side, about 5 -6 feet from my boss. he was sitting next to another guy and there was a 4th guy standing in front of the previous guy. after a few minutes the guy standing walks away.

all of a sudden my boss gets up walks a few feet away and yells "holy fvck, who the hell did that?! Oh my god that is nasty! You better see a doctor because there is something wrong with you!"

the guy sitting next to my boss started laughing and said it was the guy who walked away.

a few days later, the guy sitting down admitted that he was the one who did it.

I've been at a client site a few times and I'll go into the bathroom. It's fairly small and not a lot of people use it, but it is by these secretaries. Sometimes I let it rip so loud in there I actually feel embarrassed to come out because I feel like they might have heard me.
Was at a different client site one time and I'm the only one in the bathroom, but it's tile floors, tile walls, etc., so it has a very loud echo sound when there's noise. I'd just finished at the urinal and I go wash my hands and grab some paper towels and am standing in the middle of the bathroom drying my hands and looking in the mirror when....BOOM. Let one fly. Not more than 3 seconds later some upper management guy who worked at the client walks in the bathroom. I was almost positive he'd heard that thing from down the hallway because he seemed to have looked at me kind of funny.

Another comical one was back in high school. I was on this Kairos retreat up in the mountains and was sitting in the stall late one night. All of a sudden, I hear the door open and someone walk over to the urinal. The stall door faced the urinal, so I could see who it was through the cracks and it was the Retreat Facilitator at my high school. Suddenly, as he's taking a pee, he rips this huge fart. I burst out laughing and so does some guy a few stalls down and we're both like, "Nice one Mr........!" "Shut-up you guys!"

I had me a few tacos the night before and something did not agree with me (my guess, bad sour cream). I had developed ?the trots? less than 20 minutes before class started. I had a C in this class and this grade would push me into A territory if I could finish it. Walked in and started taking it, intestines bubbling. I held nothing back and farted as much as possible (small trickles of crap came with it). The putrid smell overcame many people around me as I heard them inch their desks away from mine. I could barely stand my own stench for the next half hour. I could not think because of the pain, so I asked the prof. to excuse me to the restroom. He allowed me to go, as he could smell my condition. I exploded in the restroom and the splash force from the toilet left a nice ring of sh!t where the water does not flow in the bowl. I am sure the janitor had a field day. I was running short of time and I was not going to finish my test, so I shoved toilet tissue into my ass crack to absorb any moisture as I did not have time to fully wipe. I returned to class as smelly as ever and sat back down. A few people had switched desks while I was out. I was momentarily relieved after my last bowl movement, but it only lasted for a short time. The farts started again, as did the "sharting". The smell remained terrible as people around me turned in their tests way too early. I was forced to return to the restroom and repeated the same thing above. Finally, I returned to the class and finished the test. Turned it in, but I missed a good deal as I was not able to concentrate. Ended up with a B in that class and a whole list of enemies (or at least people who shunned me).

*crying and laughing*

normally i don't condone the wall-of-text-onslaught approach but in this case it fits perfectly. bravo!

While talking to someone I just met.

Mid-sentence it sounded like a trumbone screaming to get out of my pants.

I didn't realize it wasn't going to be stealth until it was too late.

That sounds like "the Steakhouse Incident". Just google it. If somebody posted it here and tried to pass it off as their own, that's not very surprising. It goes back at least as far as 1997 on usenet.

Good old usenet.

LOOOOOOOOOL, I was installing cable for a Time Warner customer when he asked me to help him move his TV, and AS SOON AS I STARTED LIFTING, I let one go. I apologized profusely and told him I was holding it in till I finished the job.

He laughed his ass off and let me use the bathroom and gave me $20 to boot. I really miss working as a cableman in Manhattan. I used to make ~$100 avg/day in tips alone. :)

I've been in an elevator when someone farts, gets out but I stay on. Then a couple of floors later someone else gets on and gives me a look.

LMFAO @ this thread. :D


I was on a flight and sat about 2/3 back in the cabin of a 737. It was warm and we had some bad food at the airport an hour or so before. I felt the brew master downstairs winding up the speed and I knew something was happening. I had to drop the bomb and luckily it was stealth.... I got away with no noise and no smell. How lucky was I....... but the poor bastards behind me wasn't that lucky. The air circulation in the cabin had pulled the fart from my seat along the floor and all the way back in the plane. I could hear people complaining and quite a few started breathing through their pillows :D:D

I wasn't busted but since this was a business trip and a few of my friends from work were on the plane and right in the danger zone I still hear them discuss the incident. They still don't know it was me. I'm LMFAO everytime they bring it up. :)

I once farted pretty much during an entire flight from London to Newark. I had eaten about 16 lamb kabobs over the past day and a half, and I am sure this was the culprit.

My sister was not very happy to say the least, and knew it was me, but it was so entertaining to hear nearby conversations about a "weird smell" that has been apparent since they boarded the aircraft.

High school, junior year. was taking an exam, full class of about 30-35 students, dead silent and out came a loud one but no smell. Everyone knew it was me though....they all talked about it for a week or so
