If I break wind in a grocery line, what do I say to the cashier?

Answer 1

if they did not hear, it does not matter.

Answer 2

you would apologize if she notices anything if not just ignore it. Passing wind is a normal human action and quite often it can't be controlled. Not all of them smell bad. You could shrug your shoulders and screw up your face and give a silly smile....

Answer 3

I love the above answers. LOL

However, true etiquette would prescribe that everyone, including you, simply pretends it didn't happen.

In a private home with people whom you know, you would of course say, "excuse me". However, in a public situation, a public apology would be impractical unless you know just how far the odour has travelled. :)

Answer 4

Best nopt to say anything, there is a time to confess, it's not when you break wind.

Answer 5

Not necessarily at the grocery store, but anywhere else, when I fart I blame it on the rare species of farting (and VERY fast) bats that are indigenous to our area. :D I usually say, "OMG--did you see it? Where'd he go??"

Answer 6

Excuse me? LOL

I think the person who said "try selling that for half price," has the best answer.

Answer 7

lol, I´d say nothing. I did it when the doctor was examining me after having my second child...right in his face nearly!!

Answer 8

If no one knows ,,just act normal .Otherwise,apologize for it.

Answer 9

Same as for belching;

"Excuse Me"

Answer 10

"You should tell your boss you have a barking spider infestation"

or

"Damn these squeaky new shoes"

Answer 11
