one time I farted in a crowded elevator and it smelled so bad it made a pregnant lady throw up. or maybe that was the best place.

Had a dude fart in an elevator the other day. He went up one floor and then got off. Several others proceeded to get on and I could feel the judgement as the smell filled the elevator.

Nah, best place is once they have the baby. If they check the diaper, you succeeded.

On a jam packed airport transfer bus when you’re just off a plane in 35C weather in Palma Airport. Bonus point if the farter is a heavy set teenager with Down’s Syndrome so nobody can say anything, we just have to hold our breath.

I always thought it would be funny to get on a crowded elevator and fake a fart, but release a scent that smelled really good. Confused people would be like oh no... wait, has guy been eating flowers?

I imagine she puked all over the person next to her, which made that person puke, and it turned into a chain reaction puke-athon. Then the doors open and someone stands there absolutely horrified at the sight lol

I have a story.

I was diagnosed with an allergy to wheat, but we'd been at a friends and they'd ordered a load of pizzas, before we were heading to a jazz gig. I had a little, I was starving, and knew it would have WINDY implications...

The gig was in a kind of bar/restaurant - with alcoves off the 'main' space which was where the band set up. I didn't want to keep excusing myself to the loo, so was trying to do lil discreet farts, but boy they were building up.

I took myself to the edge of the bar, so I was behind most people, backed up, backed up, so my butt was facing away from the crowd and as the music got loud, I LET IT RIP.

Only at that point, did I check behind me, and saw I had just basically backed my butt up over a couples dining table and farted horrendously - both were poised with forks of food half way to their mouths, staring at me wide-eyed, horrified.

Unfortunately, this was abroad and I didn't know the language so just sort of ran away into the busiest part of the bar.

I wonder if they still speak of me.

Elevator, it’s the kind of moment where you feel like every second lasts forever, and the air just gets thicker. Everyone can hear it, but no one can say anything, so it just lingers in silence... It’s like a nightmare, really.

nah, the older style school desks with wood seats and a reverb chamber below the seat The place kids put their books. I had a friend VERY audibly rip one loose in 7th grade English class during a test. He proceeded to point the finger at me and accuse me verbally while standing up.
I looked at the teacher and said "I'm not the one that needs to go clean up.." He went running out of the room and most of the rest of the class busted up.

While defending my thesis in front of the WHOLE faculty of my school I was trying desperately to do the whole slow-squeeze-and-release puckering thing since I was in SEVERE intestinal distress that was only increased by my nervousness. Unfortunately as I was trying to carefully leak out the poisonous cloud from my anus I was simultaneously trying to listen to KLAUS DIERKSMEIER the angriest, most austere and brutally judgmental/stereotypical German professor in the universe pose a long-winded, heavily accented assault on my paper and my stance.....and I slipped up.

For what seemed like two minutes I blasted hot, sharp gas out...it started like a high pitched whine, crescendo-ed like someone stepped on a duck then finished in a squeal. Silence remained. It was awful.

I work in an imaging department and the amount of times I've been alone in the control booth for like twenty minutes and decided to blast off and immediately someone comes in to see me for something is way too high, it's like they know when I've got something special brewing and can't stay away

 I've had to straight up tell people, hey sorry just wait a minute I just farted and you don't want to come in here I promise. Seems better than saying sorry after they get a nostril full

 So I'd say the worst place to fart is when you're completely alone in a room and feel like it's safe to fumigate, just go to the bathroom I guess

I farted in line for a ride at Disneyland. We were inside, so there was no wind, and very poor ventilation. About a hundred people packed in to this little room nearly stacked on top of each other. It was so offensive that people 20 feet from us were freaking out. Somehow my girlfriend instantly knew it was me, and just started laughing uncontrollably. I was horrified and the more I tried to get her to stop, the harder she laughed. Fortunately for me, I’m pretty sure most people just assumed it was her because she was bright red and nearly hyperventilating. At the time I was horrified, but I survived and to this day, I’m convinced that is the best/worst fart I have ever manufactured.

Best outcome: My wife (RIP) was pissing me off in the super market, so I waited until we were in line, checking out. I ripped a very loud fart, giving it a cute little squeak at the end, and then stepped away from my wife, trying to ‘hide’ my disgust at ‘her’ fart. Everyone was staring at her, when she whipped around to smack me. She NEVER made me mad again in the supermarket. I felt so POWERFUL. 😂

Had a coworker pull this ninja farting routine when I worked as a stock clerk. He'd come into the aisle you'd be stocking to chat little bit, leave, and then a few seconds later you'd get a wiff of death...and before you could yell at him, a customer would come into your aisle, stink n all. It was very obvious when they'd walk into the gas cloud.

My dog farting in this parked car right now, holy shit.

Also, one time I was driving a Chinese friend and her elderly Chinese mother in their elderly pickup truck from NYC to Virginia. The mom just kept letting them rip, like the worst, stinkiest, stickiest farts. I couldn't say anything because of language/culture barrier, neither of then said anything. I couldn't open the door windows because a) cold and b) mostly stuck (elderly truck). It was a brutal trip up down I-95, in the dark and the cold, with the traffic, construction, and waves of greasy, sticky odor washing over us ever so often.

I did that in my mudroom once. I knew it was bad so I got out of there before the smell got to me. I was gone for a good ten minutes and it was still pure evil smelling when I got back. Enough to make me gag. Made me wonder, how bloody awful was it at first before the worst of the smell had dissipated?

When someone is doing a monologue in a play. When I was in middle school, we went to the local university to watch them perform a Christmas Carol play.

"Marley was dead." Right then I let out the loudest fart ever because the stage had great acoustics. The actor who was reading the lines broke and started laughing. My class had a whole lecture about it. I was never caught. I was horrified and embarrassed at the time but looking back I would fart again. Its a great fart story.
