One time, I had to rip one in Ames (like Kmart). I was with my wife, pushing a cart down one of the "main aisles". There were people all around, so I sidestepped into the empty barbie-doll aisle and ripped one that sounded like a water ballon broke in my pants. I giggled a little, then heard something and looked down.............
There was a little girl, probably about four years old, standing RIGHT next to my ass. I hadn't seen her before I farted. She looked like she was about to BURST into tears....the ony thing that was delaying the outbreak was the fact that she was completely surprised that someone would actually stick their ass in a stranger's face and fire away.
I felt horrible..........I caught up with my wife and told her what happened. Luckily nobody hassled me. If some father would have come up and started bitchin, I think I would have just let him kick my ass since I was such a idiot.
