My wife and I were having an discussion which I feel only the people who frequent Meh are qualified to answer
3Since this a very sensitive subject, I will try to be as generic as possible in describing the discussion.
If one is having an ongoing buildup of pressure in their lower region, can one accurately determine if a release of gas will solve the problem or a trip to the bathroom is necessary. Or if you are undecided about the outcome, it is better to err on the side of caution?
And is the answer different for a man than a women?
Any yes-you are 100% correct in your assumption that after 50 years of marriage, we have some very weird discussions in our family.

Having UC, I always err on the side of caution and hit the bathroom…
love that you have conversations like this! Been with mine for 30 years and we have amazing talks… He would not hit the bathroom, btw.
@mikibell My wife thought no one would respond to this post. Showed her your response and that it was a female to boot. Thanks for proving me right and her wrong.
@Felton10 oy! now I feel terrible-- chapter one of the book of life states never prove another female wrong!!!
But it is the internet and meh… we talk about all sorts of crap…
@mikibell I wouldn’t take it personally-we still have our own points of view and are now onto discussing whether men and women fart differently.
Valentine’s is coming.
How would Mrs. Felton10 feel about getting a Dutch Oven?

@mike808 Nothing says love for Valentine’s day like a pot to poop in.
@Felton10 @mike808 or a great way to piss off your better half. Give her a pot to make your dinner
@mike808 @tinamarie1974 She already found something to buy and told me it was to be her Valentine gift.
@Felton10 @mike808 smart lady!
@mike808 @tinamarie1974 After 50 years of marriage and many mistakes on my part, that is the safest way to go.
@Felton10 @mike808 @tinamarie1974 I’d be stoked for an ACTUAL Dutch oven.
lecreuset would never make me mad! 
@Felton10 @mike808 @sillyheathen I would be ok if it was a gift for the house, but I would not want it to be my present.
@Felton10 @mike808 @sillyheathen @tinamarie1974. Bought hubby this a while ago and he loves it https://dutchovenkits.com/products/dutch-oven-kit?variant=28565883453492¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2019-03-13&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign
@cbilyak @Felton10 @mike808 @sillyheathen haha! Not at all what I was expecting to see
I agree with @mikibell, even without the UC issue, considering the time investment entailed in a hazmat clean up vs. a quick duck into the loo, I try to err on the side of caution & hit the head whenever possible. Sharts are NO fun!
Given that in most household, the bathroom is one of the smallest places with an exhaust fan of any kind, that would usually seem to be the place for controlled release regardless. If the exhaust fan is not present, perhaps an installation could be made.
@werehatrack I always try the 'one cheek sneak" as my hero George Carlin called it, but my wife is wise to my actions and I always get caught.
@Felton10 I suppose blaming it on the parrot is quite a bit trickier than blaming it on the dog.
For me it depends on the type of pressure, but at a young age a wise man once told me “never trust a fart.”. Being a stubborn woman, I have not always listened to this advice, and have regretted it multiple times.
100% err on the safe side. Even if it’s just gas it’s easier on the loo, and the acoustics are better.
You could always go outside and find some mid to late grade school boys. They are generally engrossed in body noises and find them hysterically funny. I have taught more than one how to make fart noises with their hands. As a side benefit you will make new friends and be the hit of the neighborhood as a “cool” adult.
Wouldn’t it depend on who is around? If you’re alone, then does it matter (like the tree that falls in the forest)?
@DTominator Yes, it matters. How else would you know how awful it smells if you don’t share?
“an” discussion?
You should have been paying more attention in grammar class, instead of collecting fart stories for 50 years later.
@phendrick an argument.
To borrow from Ivan: If I poop, I poop.
@mikey
@mike808 You, sir, are the hero I needed at this moment.
I say err on the side of caution; if you are experiencing gas only, the acoustics of the porcelain tuba are immensely satisfying. If not, the satisfaction that you did not poop yourself in public is unmatched.
win/win
'Tis a sad ass that never sings.
@cbilyak And you know about these because?
@Felton10 bought them for hubby…he does not have the best judgement on when to risk it and when to go to the bathroom to be safe. The kids and I howl when he comes home early from his guys night out to change his undies and go back out. It is kind of his thing. Proud wife, NOT.
@cbilyak omg-Thought you were joking-saw they sell them on Amazon. I better not show them to my wife-she’ll order me a couple pairs just to be safe.
@cbilyak @Felton10 Maybe she should just get you some diapers.
@cbilyak @Kyeh shhhhhhhhhh
