What would you do if someone near you farted?

Say you're in a public place and someone rips a really loud fart right near you. What would you do? Would you act any different if it were a guy or girl that farted?

    I would probably start cracking up, because I'm really mature...

    Sometimes at work people will walk by me and just fart as they go by, like they didn't notice, and it always makes me laugh.

    I'd try not to get into that situation, but if it did happen, and it was smelly, I'd probably hurt some feelings. My father now farts so horrible, that when I get a whiff of them I have to leave the room, and if I can't, my hands fly over my mouth and nose. But if it were just loud, I'd be real English and ignore it.

    If it's just loud, not smelly, it's easy enough to ignore.

    If there's a bad odor around, the only thing to do is to pretend you didn't notice anything. No nose-wrinkling, no "Who did that?" or anything similar. The offender is probably more embarrassed than anybody.

    People always worry that everybody else will think that you did it. Maybe so, but if you ignore the whole thing, you won't be blamed any more than anybody else.

    Guys or girls, young or old, this applies to everybody.

    I would also be really english and completely ignore the fact that it happened. I wouldn't think any different of that person, it's just not in my nature to dislike people, no matter what they do :P

    I would move upwind away from the expanding cloud of noxious gas, if possible. The sex of the source is of no consequence.

    i would die laughing especially if the person started looking around conspicuously then in my mind i would hope that that person doesn't have any health problem that would cause them to do it uncontrollably because then that would just be messed up

  • Honestly, I would give them the "stink face" and move as far away from them as quickly as possible.
