KittyKat67 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 My good friend who is 47 years old burps all the time super load, and crack up but never says excuse me. I find it low class but she said something that made me feel kind of wondering why I want her to say excuse me. She said " just because someone burps and makes a loud sound with their mouth doesn't warrant anyone to feel bad" " if it bothers you, you need ask yourself why a natural behaviour like burping would make you irriated if I didn't exuse myself " what?? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nowty V Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 To some extent she has a valid argument. However, personally I would find it gross if it was a regular occurrence. Furthermore, IMO she would be displaying extremely bad manners and therefore being disrespectful in my company. Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 We're supposed to minimize, not flaunt, the private bodily functions. She's as crass as they come. Hang out with her and you'll be judged to be like her. Link to post Share on other sites

Well that is what I feel and then she made me feel like I was an uptight idiot for asking her to say excuse me. for instance, you said personally you find it gross and find it bad manners.....I said that and she said : according to who? If you find it bad manners, maybe you should find out why you are so uptight ....I'm just sayin...thats why I'm here on the boards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I am perplexed...lol.. Link to post Share on other sites

She basiclaly said to your comment....that you are the one making the rules instead of just letting people be who they are, a burper. I just feel stupid around her but I feel like you do, its disgusting and low class.. but she is making me question why it bothers me? Link to post Share on other sites

mrs rubble Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 In certain parts of the world it's actually considered a compliment if someone burps after a meal. However where I live it is not, it is considered bad manners to not excuse yourself and I think most people would do so, however around close friends and family it is perfectly acceptable to burp without having to excuse yourself- although we would say excuse me if we were in a public place.

You should tell her if she feels that way why not pull her pants down and urinate in public. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It is a case of how strongly you feel about it. It certainly goes against etiquette in my book. https://kymberleefernandes.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/burping-etiquette-around-the-world/ Marlee Mckee also has something to say Bodily Noise Etiquette?.Really! - Body Noises, Smells, Sounds and More!, Career Success, Gracious Living, Mom Manners & Kids, Too, Personal Polish, Professional Image, Tots to Teens -Manners Mentor - manners| etiquette| social skills| business etique Link to post Share on other sites
