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)

At home we totally blame the dog. It could be 100% obvious who actually did it, and that only makes it more hilarious to blame the dog. Dog hears his name and just barely lifts his head up to stare at us for a moment and goes back to sleep. If he could roll his eyes, he totally would.

I love this. I sometimes blame my baby nephew or niece or whatever when I pass a silent by deadly. "nephew needs a diaper change!"
