There are certain situations that you can not excuse yourself and you can not hold it in for a long time and it just comes out. Sometimes it just comes out when you least expect it so why can't people just accept the fact that all of us are human and stop acting like they never done it before. If someone does it in front of me I will ignore it provided that they did not do it to be rude and said excuse me. Another thing why is it that women are expected not to pass gas but men can do it and no one thinks about. We are human too. If we can't do it men should not be able to do it and if men are allowed to do it women should be able to. What is up with the taboo of something that is naural and the sexism is so Victorian.

if i gotta, i just rip it. i try to be quiet about it and my diet is good so they usually don't smell but whatever i don't like having a bellyache. i will hold it till i'm blue if i'm having sex or something, but besides my lover the world is fair game. the world is also sexist and has these wierd thoughts of how women SHOULD be. women can fight it by being how they ARE and if you have gas, well go to the bathroom, but don't kill yourself over it. laugh it off, light a cigarette so no one can smell it or just eat right and do your thing.

Maybe I am lucky that way, but I don't have a problem with flatulence. 99.9 per cent of the time, I am sure I could hold it, if I had to--which is why I expect the same from others. I really don't want to breathe the waste fumes of another human being, especially a stranger. Who knows what he's been eating?

Its not necessarily taboo as much as it is "bad form" because no one wants to smell your a s s....
If you have bad breath, do you go around forcibly breathing on someone?
And what about taking a shower? If you don't you begin to smell bad, and you invite disease...
There is a courtesy here that you may not be recognizing is ALL THAT I'M SAYING....
But accidents happen, and I believe all of us here understand that...

I had a Chinese dude as a math teacher at Wayne State and he loved to picked his nose in front of class.
It was a night class so a lot of the students were prof.--most of them still dressed in thier prof. business clothes
He would picked his nose and just threw the things he picked out of his nose into a corner.

I had to miss the Packer game last night (cuz it was on the lamest channel ever created) cuz I ate a taco that acted up on me. If you know you're having a problem, stay home. If one sneaks up on ya, blame the dog.

Well, I can understand why people get upset when other people fart, but not when I do. I smell like some sort of cross between cool and awesome, but still people get upset. Ultimately I try to use my flatulence to make people happy, but you can't please everyone.

let's face it who wants to be caught in the hot stinky presence of a freshly expelled fart? Men are pigs. There's your answer.

It happens and everyone knows it, but I think it could be the smell that usually accompanies the fart!

I think it is taboo because no one wants to smell another person's fart.
