I’m staying out of town, and the place I’m staying in hasn’t got the greatest sound insulation, and there is someone else directly through the wall. I can hear them watching TV. I could even hear them using an app I use, because I recognized the notification sounds.

Today I’ve had an little bit of an upset stomach from eating food I’m not used to, which well… makes me a bit gassy. I’ve been trying to sneak out quiet toots ( blow offs, passing wind, letting one rip - you get it), because I was pretty sure my neighbor would hear any out loud ones.

I felt a good one brewing and tried to let it out without trumpeting its presence. Unfortunately, I failed. It was so loud and long it would have made a pattern on one of those cymatics sound resonance plates.

there was a short pause, and then…coming from the other side of the wall I heard what sounded like a very intentional, loooong toot, with a wee extra toot at the end.

I’m dying…

I f@#ked up, embarrassing myself by tooting so loudly my neighbor definitely heard. What am I going to do when I eventually get to meet them?

I didn’t expect a sympathy toot. Or maybe it was a challenge? should I do one back…?

TLDR I announced my upset tummy to my Airbnb host by tooting so loud they heard me through the wall. But at least they did toot back.
