I would probably laugh if I heard it. I assume people don't want to call attention to it in case no one noticed.

I think its because they are embarrassed and who would want to draw attention to the fact.  Its a natural body function, but somethings are best left in silence.

Okay I can see this from both sides yes someone should say excuse me but if you ripped one around strangers would you want to admit it was you or run LMAO..Sorry had to..So yeah it is a polite thing to do but some people are embarrassed to fess up to strangers that they just farted  :thumbsup:

If it is real loud they are embarrassed and don't want anyone to know it, and if it is no noise at all they are still embarrassed because it is a foul odor. I don't like the walking farts. Someone fart in the bathroom and leave out the odor is still there when you walk in and leave then someone else go in and think that was you. Or someone walk by and fart and leave  and you are behind them and some one else is behind you and they think you are the one. Those are the baddest ones. Some people want to get away with it. If their dietary habits were more healthy they would not fart at all.   :peace:

Are we talking about the loud tug boat sounding gas or the silent but deadly ones?? lol...because I don't think I've actually ever heard gas being passed but have smelled
the horrific scent of one lingering in the isles of a store. Now, some times I get the urge & one must not hold it in or they will get severe stomach cramps. Therefore, I try to find an empty isle & graciously get the wind out or I will faint & then run like the wind before someone comes & sees me & smells it at the same time! LOL...but they usually don't smell!  ;D

Kimber????   What???  You funny!  I try not to break wind where anyone can hear OR smell.  Sometimes, your among people and you have to toot (can't help it).  I try to be very quiet, and pray no one smells anything.  One time I was with a man I barely knew.  We were in those first stages of getting to know each other.  He had good manners and was always impeccably groomed.  One night, we were standing outside talking about this and that....and he rips one off.  We both started laughing so hard, it was hilarious!  He said he tried to just squeeze it out carefully, but once it started, it had a mind of it's own.  That definitely broke the ice.  We have become the closest of friends, and every time we remember, it sends us into hesterics! 

You definitely say excuse me if your among anyone, and your not doing it on purpose.  There are those that just tear em off, one after another and think nothing about it.  That....is bad manners (putting it lightly).  We all have bodily functions and sounds that are natural, but there's decorum if and when they are to be shared....lol  My pet peeve is someone who hasn't bathed in ages, and your trapped with them in an elevator or somewhere you can't get away.  The BO smell is enough to make me yak.

LOL....Annella, I try! And I agree with you 100%. I would definitely say excuse me if someone was in the room with me or in the vicinity of 10 square feet of me & I let one rip! lol... and B.O. is definitely a BIG turn off & people who do not shower or do not use deodorant should be banned from the planet! Do they NOT smell themselves?? lol...anyway..don't wanna break the topic! All have a great Holiday weekend! Tootles!  :wave:

So you are saying to me that if you pass gas you would openly say excuse me? It's difficult for a person to be completely honest and open about something embarrassing he has done.

I work at a Senior Center and let me tell you, I have heard some gas passing that should have peeled the paint off the walls.  I never hear an "excuse me".  I think it is done so often they don't think anything of it or maybe they don't even know they did it. Thank goodness I was never down wind or is it upwind?

Have you ever been shopping in your favorite Walmart or grocery store and could hardly get to the product you wanted to look at because it was so crowded in that isle? Well, I have the remedy for cleaning out the isles. It works everytime, and No I don't say excuse me!

I have this problem all the time!! It always seems that whenever I'm in a store, or really anywhere for that matter, and I'm either in line behind someone, or even just walking behind someone, the person in front on me always passes gas and of course, I'm in the line of fire! I think that they know they did it, but fail to excuse themselves because A) It's embarrasing B) They think it didn't make a noise or smell or C) They just really don't care. Whatever their reason it, I find it highly disgusting and really wish that these gas-passers would think about the people around them and excuse themselves!!

Asking someone to excuse you from farting doesn't stop the smell! So why bother asking them to excuse you? Will it make it better and make the smell go away? I would think not! It's just a natural process all living creatures go through. So if your ever caught in a situation where someone farted around you just take a deep breath of natural air and enjoy it! It's natural, not manmade! Or is it?

Almost everyone has an accident at one time or another.  Of course it is common sense and good manners to say excuse me.  What gets me are the people that unload one after another for hours.  I wish that these people would go unload their gas somewhere else!!

So today, I was in the mall, minding my own business, walking behind someone and BAM right in my face, there it was, someone's nasty butt gas lingering in my personal space. I quickly turned to my husband, and in a very serious tone said "Was it you?!" and he swore that it was not, but that he did notice it. So loud enough for the people in front of me to hear, I yelled out....."What is it with people farting in my face all the time?! Seriously, if you have to fart, go to the bathroom! Disgusting!" I'm hoping that they did hear me, and will realize the error of their way.  ;D

It's better to fart out loud because the silent ones are the deadlier & smellier. I remember passing gas while in line at fair. The little boy behind me was very kind & didn't say anything. lol  ;)

My husband's dog ginger's (rest in peace gingerbread dog) farts was sooooooooo toxic that she set the fire alarm on!  lol we use to joke about using ginger as a top secret deadly weapon which would have stopped the war in the middle's years ago!!!! :bootyshake:  :peace:

There are lots of reasons, and most of them have already been covered in some of the replies here. I almost always say excuse me, and I am not ashamed when I pass gas, nor embarrassed. I feel this way because EVERYONE does it, it is a bodily function that sometimes can not be helped, and etc... so what if it happens? I don't think it is a big deal, unless like you are at a place that serves food, or some place like that, THEN I think it is inappropriate, because people are eating and etc...

I actually have fun with mine sometimes, LOL. If I am in a store and I happen to pass gas, or I can't help it, or stop it... if someone is standing near by, and my boyfriend is also there, then I some what loudly say after I do it "David! Geeze..." LMAO, the funniest part of this, is HE does not like passing gas in public, I mean this man will get a belly ache from holding it in for too long. He DOES get embarrassed and I love harassing him about it. When I do things like that in the store, he just gives me this look like "if looks could kill" LOL, but I just laugh harder.

It is more embarrassing to say anything. We are not gross people just cursed to fart instead of burp. I wish like hell it came out the other end. Burps you can say excuse me and laugh it off but farts you can't because it admits fault and causes nasty words and looks at you. I never burp but I fart all the time it is so embarrassing. People treat farts as a much grosser and say bad things about you. Whereas burps are passed off as a minor annoyance especially for women. We aren't trying to be rude just go unnoticed while we let the shame pass us over.

This should have nothing to do with manners. Do you say, "I'm sorry I just breathed air." It's a natural bodily function. It happens. Excusing oneself implies they did something wrong and passing gas is not wrong.
