I hope we can keep jokes to a minimum here. It's something that can happen to anyone I guess, but when it happens to me, it always seems like it never happens to anyone else. There's times when I know I have to hold it, and there's times when I know I can let one off(like when walking in the street), but it's the grey areas that catch me out.
There was this girl at college that I got talking to her at the elevator. It was one of those rare opportunities where you can get talking to a stranger, without making it seem forced. Leaving the lift, we then were both headed towards the same computer room. She sat two computers away from m on the same row, so there was one pc between us. I had to write a lab report, so I went into a relaxed frame of mine, like as if I was at home in my own room. Unlike some other people I know, I couldn't write a report while half chatting to someone else. So even though she was seated near me, I went into introverted mode.
I then had to leave one off, (and let's face it can be quite uncomfortable to hold one), so... I did, without even realising it, until a few seconds later I thought "usually they're not that smelly, if only I'd known". I then thought to myself, "this has happened to you before, I thought you knew how to make sure it'd never happen again" I just kept thinking "it's okay, she's a whole 2 seats away from you". I couldn't do anything for a few moments until I'd felt sure the smell had passed. But there's something about a fart, where by people just know where it has come from! I then sort of leaned a bit further to my right to see if I could smell it there too(just being paranoid).
Nothing seemed to happen for a while, at which point in time I thought "surely it must have passed by now". And it was then, that out of the corner of my eye, I noticed her head suddenly move. She wasn't going to say anything, but I thought that this might have been her first detecting it, and having to realise the whole "what's that smell, oh it's a fart, who did it?", etc. I then felt terrible yet again, but all in all I'd say (without being in denial), that there's about a 75% chance she smelled it.
What annoys me so much about it, is that, it had to happen just after the sweet interaction we had. And given that I came across pretty well (from our earlier interaction), then as soon as she smelled it(if she even did), then she probably(for the 1st second) immediately presumed it wasn't me. And then, for the next second, thought "gee, how ignorant, and unexpected from that guy of all people". Know what I mean? It's one of those unforgivable crimes, because when you smell someone's insides, and are reminded of how disgusting and unromantic it is, you're not going to view them in a sexual way any more.
It's interesting, how depending on the circumstances, a person who farts may be able to completely get away with, OR look like a complete retard. I suppose it happens in marriage a certain amount, if you're around someone a lot more often, but under those circumstances, I guess one has to just get over it. I generally manage to make a good effort to not get caught farting, but when I do, it always seemed to be in socially awkward situations.
I actually didn't even really fancy her, but the thought of killing a potentially new friendship/acquaintance with a fart just(for that moment) killed me. Also, she'd be connected to a few girls that would be on my dream list of getting to fuck. And I know most of you might say, that she couldn't care less if I farted, but still, if I ever interact with her again, I guess it will have to be on an "assumed she smelled it" basis.
So in conclusion, I guess trying to point out, how this natural bodily function of ours can be so unfair to some who might be playing all his cards right, and might then lose it all over something as trivial as a fart! It's always puzzled me, because if you're confident, you can get away with certain mistakes you make by not showing that you dwell on them, but there's no way out of a fart! Feel free to share any experiences of this yourself. And also, in the older dating scene is equally as unforgivable to fart?... you know giving that the woman in question might have been married 10 years, and might have been exposed to all sorts of things?
