Ill-Timed Flatulence

Has anyone here ever accidentally let one rip, or witnessed it, or been on the unfortunate receiving end during a checkup, exam, or procedure?

Everyone has.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but that has never happened to me.

As Susie said everyone has. When performing a pelvic exam is a favorite time to receive this. Can't compare to stinky feet which is far worse.

Yup, when a student's finger was leaving my rectum, it wasn't alone... More than once.

You've never had a colonoscopy. The recovery area is like the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles...

That's not ill timed, that's encouraged

Exactly what I was thinking. I have had a colonoscopy, and they won't let you leave until you pass gas. That seems to be part of the normal post-procedure checklist. I assumed that the question was about uncontrolled and accidental farting.

I definitely have...I think it happens to everyone at some point.

Just wait until you get older. All the way down the hall you'll be going putt putt putt.

By the time you reach the bathroom, you won't have anything left to release discretely.

Thank god its never happened to me...

Doctor steve, Hope you can still say that in 20 to 25 years.

This has happened to me in recent years. I found, by trial and error, confirmed by my gastroeberologist, that the problem is lactose intolerance. Lactaid pills help.

Thank god its never happened to me...

DENIAL ! 😁 😁

Too many information at this strange thread

If it feels good then it is not ill timed.

Well, maybe while standing at the alter taking wedding vows might qualify. 😞

I've never let one fly during a medical procedure or check up as far as I can remember but when I was 28 and went to get an IUD my SLOB boyfriend at the time came with me and when the OB/GYN was doing my yearly exams and putting in my IUD my boyfriend kept dropping stink bombs in the exam room and they were loud and the whole time the doctor and her nurse just kept giving him dirty looks and as I got dressed and we left I heard the nurse in the room spraying air freshener, he stunk that damn exam room up big time, it was pretty embarrassing

Also another time when I was in the hospital over night for surgery I was watching TV and I let one rip and right after the night nurse came walking in to check on me LOL

@MissAmy1980, I wish that I could have been that night nurse, we could have had an interesting conversation. 😁

@StephenS I was kind of embarrassed because it wasn't a silent one and I was hoping she didn't hear or smell it because it was a real stinky one haha LOL

@MissAmy1980, aren't you happy that you did not have an enema at that moment? 😮

There are a couple instances where I will let one go if need be. For one, if I am the last person in an elevator, I'll leave a calling card as I depart. The elevator door closes, it travels to a different floor, door opens, and some unsuspecting soul walks into the cloud.

Or if my wife and I are in a store, I'll go around the end to the next aisle, if no one is near, I'll make my deposit and quickly return to the next aisle with my wife.

You crack me up Amy. 😁

@StephenS I would have died of embarrassment if I had an enema while farting LOL

@quincy that's the same thing I do in elevators and as for farting in the isles at the grocery store what I'll do once in a great while if it's overly crowded I'll let one fly while walking through the isle and travel it to help clear out the isle but that's only if I absolutely can't hold it in LOL

@mike45 I'm glad you like my posts LOL

For my last colonoscopy there was this older lady nurse whom i could overhear being nasty to one or two other patients. She wasn't with me, but she was trying to reassure me that it would be ok to "pass gas". She even commended me after the procedure when I did. If she only knew how i take farting liberties in everyday life, my crop dusting endeavors etc LOL

I was at my chiro and he was manipulating my back by having me lean forward, then pushing backwards while his fist rested in a specific area. That led to a few more sounds than just my back popping.

He never said anything, but I was sure I was bright red!

I was pregnant with my 2nd son ... i was in my 1st trimester and just laid down to get an ultra sound ... the tech smeared on the gel ... began the procedure ... ... ... i shouldn't have had that banana ...

I recall it happening to me at least once - unable to prevent a fart during examination. I guess I had a stomach ache and this was not unexpected.

This happened to me when I was at the docs for a sports physical, she asked me to bend over and touch my toes, I know I was holding in gas since lunch and I bent over too fast and I let one rip, luckily she didn't mind it to much

After a vehicle accident a bout a year ago I had to go see a chiropractor for about 3 months or so. During one of the visits he had me on my stomach and pushed on my spine. I never even felt it, but suddenly passed gas. I was totally surprised and embarased.
