if you walk into someone's pungent fart cloud, what is the etiquette? do you acknowledge the obvious?

Answer 1

Breathe from your mouth & leave quickly!

Answer 2

Well......that, humorous as it sounds in a question, is something that has probably at one time or another happened to all of us, whether some choose to admit it or not.

Silly at first, but actually a very good question.

Unless you are a total thug, with no respect for yourself or anyone around you, it can be actually an awkward situation.

Probably, try to keep a straight face, holding your breath if possible, and move out of it's range as quickly as possible. Depending on your mood and the setting, it might be nearly impossible not to make some sort of involuntary sound, either laughter, gagging, what have you.

But, remember that the person is probably accutely aware of the stench and is probably very embarassed to think that someone else (I'm assuming that this is a total stranger you are talking about) is also now aware of it and who it came from...... try to remember that you have or will someday be in their shoes. So, make the moment as painless for the both of you as possible.........

Answer 3

First of all, the expeller of the pugent fart cloud must first proclaime to the populas at large a warning; 'Don't go over there'!Those that know him or her will respect the request. The newer, inqusitive will want to investigate further. Let them for this will be a learning experience.

Answer 4

Etiquette is a system of rules and conventions that regulate social and professional behaviour. In any social unit there are accepted rules of behaviour upheld and enforced by legal codes; there are also norms of behaviour mandated by custom and enforced by group pressure. An offender faces no formal trial or sentence for breach of etiquette; the penalty lies in the disapproval.

Answer 5

hahaha! I often experience that from other's and i am sooooo freakin' annoyed. Then you look at them and they're just like, "Oops! Just blend in the crowd..." or whatever. But I don't acknowledge it, well, maybe a little, just to make them feel that what they've done was gross. Some people accidentally farts while in a crowd--that's excusable; but, otherwise, it's really annoying. I trained myself to control my fart btw so I won't just fart everywhere. lol!

Answer 6

Some acknowledgement is probably inevitable, but it would be best to continue on without staying near, unless it is inevitable. The other person already knows what they've done, so acknowledgement means you'll just end up letting them know you can smell it.

Answer 7

If i know the person concerned, then yes, i would definatly say something. What is the etiquette?....none whatsoever, unless you think that breaking wind is compulsary. Question.....why is it usually men that do it the most often, and are hardly ever embarassed by it, and they think its funny. Time for us woman to get our own back i think....any ideas?

Answer 8

Well if its a Saturday Id say, jeeze someone needs to change the brand of beer their drinking, hope there not gonna be a 'follow through'.

Answer 9

If he/she is a dominant personality, like your boss or any respectful elder, you MUST ignore and be patient.

If he/she is a personality, to whom you love most, don't shy to say "Happy Health to You".

If he/she is a boring personality, shout loudly and say, "What type of chemicals are you dealing in these days, by the way?"

Answer 10

If you know the person:
-give them props and rate it for
tone:(on a scale of silent to foghorn)
texture:(on a scale of desert dry to mississippi mud)
volume:(on a scale of petite poot to Goodyear blimp)
and
odor:(on a scale of nonexistent to dead animal)

Answer 11

Walk Away...Just Walk Away....LOL
