'I walked out on date because he farted at the table - but he says I overreacted'

A woman has shared her disgust after her date passed wind when dining out in a restaurant - and proceeded to lie about it. She explained how she met up with a man after speaking to him online for a few weeks, saying he was "very funny, intelligent, and cute".

But her opinion of him completely changed minutes into the date when he passed wind for all to hear. She said on Reddit : "Everything is going well. We get our drinks and appetizers. He got some kind of bean soup as an appetizer. He was slurping it out of the bowl - didn't really bother me, it was just noticeable."

"Dinner comes out and he lets out the loudest, rank fart that I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing (I work in healthcare.) Honestly, he looked so embarrassed, I was going to ignore it and continue with dinner. That is until he practically yelled out 'I didn't fart! It was the chair! The chair farted. Not me. I promise I didn't fart'. So I said it's okay, just please stop saying that and lower your voice."

Following this, the man started scooting around on his chair in an attempt to show it wasn't him. But she wasn't having any of it, adding: "This went on for a solid five minutes with people staring at us. I was embarrassed and he would not let it go.", reports the Mirror . "I finally just got up and left. He left me several voicemails afterward telling me how dramatic I was for leaving over a squeaky chair and how ridiculous my pet peeves were."

She said as she turned to the internet seeking input on her situation. One commentator responded, "Omg no way this is real? What I would give to be sitting at the restaurant and watch this unfold." Another chimed in: "I ended up sleeping with a guy on our first date and he accidentally ripped the biggest fart after we did the deed. Butt ass naked. I had to pretend I didn't hear that massive ass cannon and almost died holding in my laughter."

"He was so embarrassed and I'm pretty sure he thought he'd never see me again. We've been married for eight years." Adding to the conversation, another user shared: "Farting is a natural phenomenon. The red flag is he was denying it 'wholefartedly'. He should just say excuse me and move on."
