given that it is a completely natural process, why do we get so embarrassed by it?

Is it embarrassing? I hadn't noticed... I thought it was the most hilarious function of the human body x.
No, I do know what you mean... like, you're trying not to fart when things are serious, but you can't help yourself. It's like cracking a joke in bad taste. It may still be funny, but it makes you look bad to other people who are trying to keep things together, as if you're laughing at their misfortune, even if you aren't really. It's when you don't mean to do it, that's the worst... because other people laugh at you when you don't necessarily want to be laughed at.
There's a lot to be said for learning to let off silently if you really can't hold it. At least that way there may be some chance of getting the benefit of the doubt ;) Unless you are already notorious for such behaviour, er, is that really the time, I should be in bed...

Well because its kinda smelly.
Worst fart i ever did was in the exam hall during my GCSE's and instead of owning up and claiming it as mine i turned around and said in a really loud voice, thats's so disgusting. No one believed the girl behind me didn't do it.
It just is embarassing, i guess because we like to be in control of our bodies.

It's only embarrassing when somebody in the room passes out.

ha just cause we live in a very "polite" society these days. there are people you can fart around who wont really care but in a room full of strangers perhaps not the best way to let your presence be known

Because it's sounds funny and smells gross! There's an obvious reason why other natural functions and reflexes, like yawning or sneezing, aren't viewed that way!

Maybe because we do it in the wrong place and at the wrong time. And because some leave an odor that seems to linger for a long time.
