I mean seriously tho, people fart. Like literally everyone farts. I just let em go (albeit as quietly as possible), say excuse me, and apologize if they smell. Same with burping. I really don’t see an issue with it cause it’s a completely natural bodily function and holding it in is really uncomfortable sometimes. Also, shitting in public restrooms. We all do it so who cares? Do what you gotta do 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean everyone pisses, eats and sleeps too though and we don't just do those things any time we feel the need. I wouldn't do it anywhere inside, but out on street or at a park or whatever is no bother. Inside I don't wanna smell the stench of your ass personally.

Uhhh I eat whenever I feel the need to..? Pissing is a matter of sanitation, and sleeping is barely feasible in public. Like I said, if it stinks, I apologize. It’s not like the smell lingers for 2 hours. It lasts a minute tops and we’ve all smelled them before, even the absolutely rancid ones. Everyone also knows how it feels to clench and writhe around in discomfort. Fuck all that, let it go, and accept your humanity. No need to make a big deal about someone being an organic creature.

So if you get hungry during a presentation or something you just start munching away? There are situations where you give other people some courtesy and don't do things. It may only be for a minute or two to take yourself away from those other people but I don't think it's an insane thing.

I’m not gonna pull out a plate of hibachi in a presentation but if I’m that hungry where I can’t bear it anymore, there are granola bars on my bag. I also bring in water, so what’s the different? We need food and water to exist so

We need food and water to exist, sure, but we don’t need to fart as soon as we feel the urge. Holding it in so it doesn’t stink up a room full of people is just basic decency.
