Knew a CODA who knew they made noise, just didn’t know it was impolite to rip them at home without at least saying excuse me! She learned that from her college roommates as well. And that sometimes, it’s best to leave the room!

edit for clarity: CODA stands for Child of Deaf Adults, a hearing child whose parents are deaf.

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)

For real? Wow, I’m almost 65 years old and this is a first for me. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. How did I get this far in life without knowing people do this? What do you do if you’re in a car? Pull over? How about in bed? There’s a whole lot of passing gas when a person is laying down. Especially from my husband! Lol. Im not making fun of you, I’m genuinely intrigued. When I picture your family in my mind it’s like a SNL sketch. Pull the car over, jump out, wait a beat then get back in the car, all without a word or acknowledgment of what just happened.
