what’s it with guys who insist on burping and farting all the time?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a prude and a well placed burp or fart from either sex can be hilarious. But, I’m sick and tired of guys who insist on burping and farting, especially when they think I’m sharing some great male joke.
Like my 30 yo male flatmate said “great” when our female flatmate moved out because now he could “burp and fart all he wanted.” Like hello! What am I a wall or something, don’t my nose and ears work?
I can't believe this guy actually thinks people like hearing and smelling him burping and farting all the time. Especially, as he is "so" empathetic to other people’s feelings. Grrrrrrr.

I used to date a guy who used to think it was hilarious to burp and fart all the time and he also used to give me in depth details of his visits to the tiolet...blech.

Farting on other people's faces feels good.
My boyfriend thinks he'll explode or rupture something in his abdomen if he ever tries to hold it in. I'm not convinced this is true...
Anyone know of any health side-effects of not farting/holding it in?
I know they say if you sneeze with your eyes open then your eyeballs will pop out... is this actually true too?

holding in farts is really bad for you - fart is methane which is a poisoness gas - a small ammount will not affect you but holding you r fart in will retain a lot of methane in your anal cavity (hee hee) and be detrimental to your health. not sure about risks from not burping as i struggle in that department. Farting though is highly amusing at all times of the day or night, regardless of situation and should be advocated and encouraged. i mean come on, find me one person that doesn't laugh at a fart. they're hilarious, especially on someones face....

Farting no, I see the uncomfortableness with that particular gas emission, but you cant knock burping. Its really satisfying,and in some cultures its rude not to burp after eating because it means that you didnt enjoy the food. Im all for burping. Burp Away!!!

I get a sore belly if I hold my farts in, and then when i let it out its just noisier and smellier than it would have been if I'd let it out in the first place.
Anyways, the missus farts way more than I do

May I just add that as a frequent flyer to not-that-far-away places I regularly stumble upon stag or hen parties who think the biggest fun in the world is having "whose fart smells worst" on the plane, in the waiting line, on trains etc... I mean, if you HAVE to, that's fine (or tolerable), but it seems it's impossible for more than 3 Scottish men to be together in one place without the fart thing starting!!

Holding in farts is really bad for you?
I just presumed if you held them in you'd let them go in your sleep when you have a lot less control over your bum muscles
Surely having farts inside you for a day won't give you methane poisoning??

either can be funny in the right circumstances but most of the time it is disgusting, and even more so when i found out each fart contains something like 0.1% feacies(sp??)

Or 'poop-particles' as my brother puts it.
He's guilty of cupping, being noisy as possible and giving a running commentary while in the bathroom, entering a room with the sole intention of breaking wind in the occupant's presence, and sneaking up behind seated people to fart on their head.
He's 25. I feel sorry for his girlfriend, but at least he's moved out. With him and my sisters 14 year old corgi/terrier cross in the house, we'd have to buy Febreze wholesale

Why is it the stinky dogs are always the cutest.. My old dog used to fart so badly he would clear the room, look very pleased and depart from the room.

Burps and farts I can handle (I went to a single sex high school
), but cupping (or capcaking, as we knew it) is terrible and should be a crime. 'n Boer maak 'n plan.

dumped for farting? Why?
That's bizarre, does he think she has no colon?

She was laughing and it slipped out. He thought women shouldn't fart or at least not infront of people and was so disgusted he broke it off. She just laughed at him and told him he was an idiot and that was the end of that relationship.
Weird boy! hug me!

I know a girl and her first boyfriend was actually confused by the strange noises she used to make in bed at night. His Mom had told him that girls didn't fart and he totally believed her!
