Flew from Atlanta to La Guardia and back today. Currently in the air heading home. Holding in my farts.
When I was walking through the terminal in La Guardia some fucking knob walking in front of me just rudely ripped a loud one. I will never be anything like him.

No, I just rip ass. I might try to be silent if someone is speaking.
As long as there’s plausible deniability, I’ll rip a silent but violent. It’s uncomfortable and unhealthy keeping them in, and I also get a grim satisfaction from knowing that other people are forced to endure my stinkers.
I try to hold in, if Im on the street – fuck it. But in a plane or whatever, I dont want be “that guy” my fella passengers tells his friends about for 5 years.
Im educated as a commercial pilot though, so, however, because of pressure changes – you are basically climbing the rockies in 5 minutes, the airplane is pressurized to “liveable” leves, but still like 7000ish feet depending on the plane.
So in the same as a pack of sealed chips, your stomach will create gas – and that has to go somewhere. You can hold it in while you are awake, but not when you sleep. So knowing this, what I do is normally go to the bathroom after 30ish minutes on cruise, even if I dont have to. There is most of the time a bit of “air”
It’s a normal body function; there’s no moral superior award for holding it in; you’re only hurting yourself. Just do it when you need to and be discreet when possible. On a plane it’s tough to be discreet so you don’t have too many options. People just gotta deal.
Yeah I hold it. Just go to the bathroom and let it out there. Simple.
I just try to be mindful of if I’m moving in a close public space (like going to my seat on a plane) so that I don’t drop dust folks. Otherwise, if I’m walking in an open public area or already seated, I’m letting them go.
Nope, I let fly, but not if they are going to be loud like that. I would also not drop one close to people if I could avoid it.
On the plane I would hold it and go to the bathroom.
Yes… But especially not airplanes 🤷🏻♂️
On a plane? I’ll hold it. I take some chances at work though, and I probably would at the terminal
Nope, gotta let them out. Equal rights for the deaf.
You say you will never be “that guy”.
Wait till you turn sixty.
No I let it out slowly.
Then I say,” hmmm do I smell popcorn ?”…
Farting in front of people is very rude. I always find an empty room or bathroom if I feel a loud one coming. However, if you happen to hear someone slip and they seem surprised/apologetic, just let them be. Will never forget when I was crouched down and one escaped and I hastily stood up to meet the eye of the one coworker that heard it, who just gave a smile and went back to her work. Also, as you get older, your sphincter gets weaker. My late grandmother went off like a tommy gun all the time shortly before she died. If you see a really old person going off, don’t blame them unless they look like they’re going off on purpose.
I’ll open the air nozzle, wait a minute so nobody connects the dots to what’s about to happen, do a little trial fart to get a feel for whether it’ll be silent, adjust if necessary, and then open ‘er up all the way for full relief.
Depends on the situation, how bad I have to fart, and how many many MAGA supporters are around me.
Let it out silently and then ask the person next to you “Is something burning?”
Absolutely I do this. I can suffer with a little discomfort, it’s not going to cause bodily injury to me and I’d rather not make somebody nauseated when they’re sitting cramped right next to me and throw up all over. I mean normally I don’t produce that type of methane but it is possible and I’d rather not risk it. I even find that if I don’t indulge in any food prior to getting on the plane, it’s no issue. I enjoy those pretzels however micro they are.
I don’t really hold it in, I just let it out extremely slowly, like a slow release pressure valve. If you do it right there is no sound and no smell.
I started holding my farts when I started dating. I didn’t fart around my date or my girlfriend. Sometimes it would even hurt bc I couldn’t do it when I stepped away.
Even now I don’t fart around my wife and she does the same for me. I’ll do a toot if I’m in a different room but I won’t drop a stink bomb off if I’m near her.
As far as public, I’ll try not to be obvious about it. I may crop dust an aisle if I’m in a store and no one’s there.
Um…no if you don’t then you are that guy! You’re the nasty SOB that’s always dropping the SBDs in public? Nasty boy.
You don’t need to hold it on a commercial flight. The air is recycled often and farting is a top reason.
Not on a plane, but you can bet I’m letting it all out in between gates
I rip ass freely
I’d just let it out slowly and quietly
I try to be as polite as I physically can about it. I don’t let it rip in public if I can avoid it.
People who get a satisfaction out of doing it publicly on purpose deserve a right hook to the jaw for forcing me to taste their shit particles. 😂
No…. i just go take a shit and fart in the washroom.
I turned 50 and developed a new philosophy in life, “Never trust a fart!” I will go to the shitter to pee because I’m now about 50/50 on drawing mud.
Currently on a family trip and I farted in an airplane soon after takeoff going to our destination. It was silent, but my daughter noticed the smell. We were near the back and she asked if there were bathrooms in the back and I said yes. She said they stinked. I didn’t correct her. 🤣
Farting on the plane is fine. It absorbs into the seat cushion.
No, crop dust for maximum effectiveness
Jezus, dude…you’ll give yourself a rupture. Go to the washroom. You really need to be told this?
Omg.. when I am on the airplane is when I rip the most farts! 😂
Theres more room out than in.
Finally a good topic.
Yeah I hold it while in public. But if I catch an opportunity I will rip a silent one.
That big dude that’s sweating, yeah he’s saving everybody’s lives and you need to give props because his tummy is doing mean things to him and he’s fighting for you.
crop dusting is fine, gassing out a plane, not so much
No
Always hold it if I can in public. However it also caused the worst stomach and digestive pain I’ve ever experienced when I had to hold it for a cross country flight with three stops. I was sweating and cramping at the end of the flight, all because I didn’t want the girl next to me to know I too fart
I try to crop dust as often as possible.
Crop Dusters unite !
Nope. I’m all about the SBD life
OP is bougie
I mean if Im on a plane, depending if its causing me discomfort ill just go to the bathroom.
I fart blanks on planes. I don’t know why. But there’s not a single molecule of aroma
I always go up to first class. Then when they send me back, I rip a loud one just before going back through the curtain. Then everybody claps in economy.
Just kidding of course.
Sometimes you can’t hold it in any longer… But I can feel if it’s a silent one or not. And yeah, the smell is your problem then.
I just blast em. Full throttle open the vents and shake the seat action. I’ll look for and hold eye contact.
I will let her rip, and if it really smells laugh uncontrollably.
Farts are funny.
Every creature on the planet farts! I ain’t gettin a bad guts because everyone else is too stuck up. Let ‘er fly!
edit: Farts being a loose term.
Hell no, the seats are so close together no way to know who dealt it. Let the mystery continue.
Or i’m flying business and i can fart all i want in my cubicle.
Do you also hold in the farts from your vagina?
I let em fly at will with little to no regard
I used to be like you. Can’t believe I carried myself in such a way
I prefer to let them out slowly, wait til we can smell it, and look at the guy next to me like “how dare you!?”.
Out and about, no. In enclosed spaces or near people, mostly yes if it’s for a short duration. On planes or long train rides I usually get a feel for the type and severity, and if the stars align in favor of silence.
Letting the pressure out in the jetway after landing is one of the great joys of life

When I sit on the chair, I try to focus my weight on my ass so that I fart directly into the chair. That minimizes the risk of smell, because it uses the chair’s cushion as an air filter. I think.
I try to mask the sound of the fart by exclaiming loudly, “Omg, who farted?”
I thought you get ejected from the plane if you fart so I’ve never taken the chance. Plus I’m not great with a parachute.
Do the old drop your book and fart technique.
I am the type of guy who holds it in until I get in an elevator with other people.
Then I let it out and look at the woman next to me and ask loudly, “good God what did you eat?”
Yep. A lot of days I am completely unaware that I am holding them in until I am standing at a urinal at work. Sometimes all hell breaks loose back there!
Having too many farts in your body while taking off and landing fucks you up bad. I had the worst cramps of my life and was shitting foam for a full week. So no I dont hold them in on airplanes anymore.
Hold it in at all times in public unless I hit an empty public area where no one will be impacted, like finding a nuclear exclusion zone for farts.
Once I needed to fart really badly, but I was on a public train, only problem was I fell asleep and woke up with zero need to fart. This moment haunts me and makes me laugh.
I hold it in if I can. If I have to rip one I just cough over it. Works every time
I like to use the boiling frog method. Release one “bubble” at a time spread out over the duration of the flight. Use olfactory fatigue to your advantage. Requires pro-level asshole control.
Seriously? I am a man over 30. I long ago learned how to fart silently. And if it smells, I’ve perfected the disgusted side look at the person next to me.
Yes, my mom taught me manners.
There is a bathroom on your plane that comes in handy for bathroom stuff.
I have Ulcerative Colitis. It can actually be painful for me to hold in a fart sometimes. I still try to be quiet about it though
farts are always silent so I fart everywhere, I sure as hell won’t endure the pain just so people won’t endure the potential smell of my farts
On a plane? Let them rip, son. Let ‘em rip. It’s only my GF who knows it’s me.
I’m gonna venture to say based on your use of the word “knob” that you are from the UK and I believe that might be the difference you are thinking of lol
Mi nah hold it back. Mi just let it guh and act like mi innocent victim, then stare pon somebody else like dem do it.
I let them rip, and them look at my wife and say, OMG baby did you just fart that’s so smelly!! even when it was me the whole time.
On a plane, I’ll go to the toilet to fart.
Never trust a fart. It could be loud, it could be smelly, it could be a shart. Never trust a fart.
Airplanes I let them go. No point as it all goes in the cushion which I’m pretty sure absorbs most of it. And if it doesn’t the air circulation is fast enough that I’ve never really smelled a nasty fart.
Now those oils them older asian folks use, those are annoying. They smear it on all over and ugh stinks up the entire cabin.
I have no shame I’m letting it rip then giving the person next to me a WTF look like they did it
Nope. That causes cancer.
If I have plausible deniability, yeah. Best thing to do is seek out a baby as that’s a great cover story.
Nah, let er’ rip.
I’m not holding anything in. Maybe I’ll try to let it out quietly on a plane. But otherwise let er rip tater chip.
I just tell the woman sitting behind me to pull my finger
No
