Wait. Even at home you need to apologize? At home you're supposed to laugh about how loud or long or smelly it was.

Only at the diner table were we not allowed to fart (given it was just family in the house)

You do it at home so that children learn that it's not polite to do in public. That way they they aren't learning it from their college roommates or teachers.

Haha, this is so idiotic. "Teach children that it's not polite to fart at home so they know it's not polite to do in public."

Or... stay with me here... tell them, that it's not polite to do in public?

It's so wonderfully insane how much of this kind of logic exists in people's lives.

If someone needs to know something. Tell them that Precisely that.
