[QUOTE=FourPaws] You have to be \<3 to get on this ride. [/QUOTE] 😃 (on preview – \>3’s missing a brain. While I’ve not seen any evidence of heart, I do admit I’m only interested in the pile on, so I may have missed it.) ---

[QUOTE=Two and a Half Inches of Fun] Just because are in a restroom, it does not mean that the rules of etiquette are suspended. If you are taking a dump, you should attempt to be as quiet as possible. If you are at the urinal, you need better manners. If you are at the sink, you should be shot.

I was just coming here to pit the fart bowls they have in public bathrooms because they’re never wide enough to submerge my ass for maximum hilarious bubblage. But…you’re…supposed to _shit_ in those? Gross. ---

When I was in my late teens, I used to take a Greyhound to visit a friend in a distant city once or twice a year. While I was waiting in the Greyhound bus station, I had a favorite joke I used to play on innocent “By-sitters” in the cavernous, tile lined, resonant and echoing men’s room. I would go into a stall, close the door, sit down, and wait until someone else came into the washroom. Then I would start doing the “bilabial friccative” making farting noises with my mouth. Loud, quiet, low and high pitched… it was a symphony, I tells ya, a symphony! So… I guess that the OP can be glad he never ran into me, in my earlier years… PHHHBBBTBTBTB (squeak!)! FML ---

Sadly, now that **2.5 Inches of Fart** has been banned, it is time for this thread to disperse like a fart in the wind. Anyone with leftover fart jokes is free to start a new one. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-people-who-fart-at-will-in-restrooms/459782.md?page=6)
