Fartiquette - A Guide to Bottom Manners
Passing gas is a natural and healthy part of life, but it can be an awkward
situation. There are some manners to keep in mind when it comes to farting.
Here are some tips on how to handle it politely:
Excuse yourself: If you feel the need to pass gas, excuse
yourself and go to a private place like a bathroom or outside.
Be discreet: If you can’t leave the room, try to be as discreet as
possible. Try to muffle the sound by coughing or sneezing, or by
covering your mouth with your hand.
Avoid odor: If you know that your gas is particularly smelly, try
to avoid passing gas in public places. If you can’t avoid it, try to
move away from others.
Don’t make a big deal out of it: If you accidentally pass gas in
public, don’t draw attention to it. Just ignore it and move on.
If you really can’t cover it up here are a few things to say that will put
everyone at ease following a fart or two:
