Of Belches and Farts
I think snoring or expelling gas while asleep is not a big deal because you’re asleep and not fully aware (or not aware at all) of what’s happening, thus unable to fully control these actions.
It’s the indiscriminate belching and farting while consciously awake that I find disconcerting because they are bodily functions that, although necessary, need not be announced to anyone and everyone within your vicinity.
It is such a turn-off, not to mention unrefined and rude, when one of your dinner mates lets out a humongous belch or when you’re enjoying a nice cup of coffee, you hear someone from the next table let’s out a long smelly fart.
Although I understand that in certain cultures, belching publicly is a sign that you enjoy the food that your host has served.
But I would prefer that we all keep our burps and farts to ourselves.
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
