AITA for not warning my wife that I had just farted on our puppy?
A Reddit user recounts an amusing incident involving his new puppy and his spouse. Enjoying the benefits of working remotely, he has dedicated time to training and building a connection with their small, furry dog, Telly, who enjoys napping close to him in his armchair.
He inadvertently caused his wife an unpleasant surprise one day when he passed gas on their puppy, not realizing the odor would stick to the dog’s fur. Upon arriving home, she immediately embraced Telly, but quickly wished she hadn’t. She is now scolding him for failing to warn her. The complete story is available below.
‘ AITA for not warning my wife that I had just farted on our puppy?’
My spouse and I recently acquired a puppy, who has a fluffy coat. This is important because my present unemployment status allows me the time to train him before I begin my next job.
Telly only reached the age of twelve weeks, so he requires a significant amount of rest. I dedicate a considerable part of my day to reading while sitting in my recliner. His preferred location is nestled between my legs. He doesn’t appear to mind when I pass gas in his vicinity; he doesn’t make any sounds of disgust or anything similar. However, he voices his discontent quite often when I attempt to stand up while he is situated there.
My spouse returned from her job yesterday and grabbed him for an embrace. She then immediately set him back down while making gagging noises. Seemingly, the flatulence remains trapped in his fluffy coat. She expressed that I was inconsiderate for not alerting her. I wasn’t aware that she intended to bury her face in the dog and take a deep breath as if she had just resurfaced from holding her breath underwater for two minutes.
Let’s dive into the reactions from Reddit:
Oblio_Jones − I didn’t know she was going to stick he face in the dog and inhale like she had just come up from a two minute free dive. Thanks for this; I’m still laughing. NAH. Now you know to warn her about future puppy contamination, and she knows to sniff before inhaling. Shouldn’t be a big deal for reasonable people.
FordT852 − NTA this is freaking awesome! I will say that maybe you should check your diet or something if the smell lingers in the dogs fur for extended periods of time LMAO. Of maybe wear boxers or something damn lol.. Poor little s**t puppy LOL.
SuffringSuccotash667 − you ever hear or see girls talk about “puppy smell” that s**t is like crack to women
Archon-Toten − If it’s a Dutch oven to fart in bed and hold her under the sheets, what name does this have? Fluffy grenade? Playing catch?
notyourcoloringbook − My cat LOVES to be in caves. So when I’m on the couch with a blanket over my legs she likes to nestle right up against my b**t. She’ll come out, rub on my face and I’m immediately like “aww how cu- you smell like farts.”
My wife is aware she’s going to have a flatulent odor, and so am I. It’s an unavoidable consequence of owning an animal that enjoys cozying up in such snug locations. Not the A-hole. Your spouse will get used to it, haha.
Automosolar − NTA and just refreshing to see a post on here that doesn’t end with an entire family in shambles or some equally as devastating. Just two differing opinions at an impasse made all the more interesting when farts were introduced as a variable.
Odd_Reindeer0251 − NAH 😂 obviously unintentional on your part, a natural reaction on your wife’s part.
PieAlive2865 − How dare you ruin the new puppy smell with your arse fumes!
Chemical_Error2794 − You’re gonna give her pinkeye
Historical_Ship802 − I hate this sub so much.
Was it reasonable for the spouse to anticipate an alert, or was this simply an unlucky occurrence? What would be your approach to dealing with this kind of minor issue? Please share your opinions in the comments!
