...for making rude sounds in a public bathroom?
I was in the men’s room at work this morning when someone had a very satisfying sounding release of gaseous pressure in his lower intestines.  I found it amusing, but a third person in the room said “Nice” and seemed quite offended. They looked at me like I would share their disgust. I smiled and they shook their head and turned away. What do you all think?

I ask -- if not there, where? If not then, when? What's really rude is feeling like you must provide a public commentary on the event.

I remember at work once some woman was complaining that someone had really "stunk up" the restroom. All I could think was, "Uh, like we have any control over how stinky our poop is?"
Seriously, I have no issues with that sort of thing in a restroom. That's what they're there for!

Suppose you had a banjo, built by an extremely skilled luthier.
Suppose it cost you over three thousand dollars.
And suppose you hung it on the wall, and never played it.
You would be wasting the money, and denying the artisan the appreciation that should be felt,
whenever this banjo was used for the purpose for which it was designed and built.
Now, suppose that, through a stroke of pure luck, you were able to have a restroom large enough to comfortably hold three persons, and it cost you LESS than three thousand dollars.
And suppose that everyone in your building relieved themselves into plastic bags and tossed the results out of the windows, because they didn't want to stink up the restroom, or didn't want to have other people in the restroom making remarks.
You would be wasting the money, and denying the artisan the appreciation that should be felt,
whenever this restroom was used for the purpose for which it was designed and built.
PLUS the neighbors would complain about the condition of your sidewalk, and your co-workers would be considered insane.
Like Dat and Mr. Quimby and Prof and KE so aptly point out, purpose, purpose, purpose!
And like Banjoscotty points out, there's little point to discussing the issue.

Some of the most disturbing (yet laughable) sounds I ever heard in my life were those emanating from the latrines at work (I work on an Air Force base). All I can say is, when it comes to the process of solid waste elimination and the accompanying cacophony of anal frication, Air Force members have no shame. <Buuurrraaaapppp!>

Faithfully following through on this thread hijack I found this: Why does my dog eat grass? Is there something wrong with him? These are frequently asked questions and although there are several theories why dogs eat grass, veterinary experts agree that it's just normal canine behavior.
Some people think dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach. Since grass is not very digestible, many dogs do vomit after eating it, but this is not always the case. Some canine grazers show no sign of gastric distress before or after eating grass, while other dogs always vomit after munching on grass. Do those dogs eat grass because they already have an upset stomach and they want to vomit, or do they vomit simply because the grass upsets their stomachs? That's a question with no clear answer.
Another common explanation is that dogs eat grass to make up for a vitamin deficiency or a lack of roughage in their regular diet. It's unlikely that eating grass will actually add any essential nutrients to a dogs diet, and many healthy dogs who always eat a perfectly balanced diet also eat grass.
Most veterinarians agree that dogs eat grass simply because they like the taste. Eating grass is not a sign of illness. If, however, there are signs of ill health such as excessive vomiting, vomiting not associated with grass eating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, weight loss, lack of energy, or any other symptoms of illness - call your veterinarian.
If you want to discourage grass eating and the vomiting that follows, frequent lawn mowing can help. Since clumps of tall grass seem to be especially appealing to most grazers, keep grass well trimmed around the edges too.
Never allow dogs to eat grass that has been treated with fertilizer, weed killers or pesticides and don't let them eat grass where mushrooms might also be growing.
But... As long as your lawn is mushroom free and has not been treated with harmful chemicals, do not be concerned if your dog occasionally munches on a few blades of grass. It really is common canine behavior.We now return to your originally scheduled thread already in progress.   . Dennis

The yellow stuff is bile and stomach acid - if the dog has an empty stomach, the bile and acid can irritate the stomach lining, and the pupster will hurl. As counterintuitive as this sounds, try feeding him a little bit of food shortly before bedtime. We started giving our dog a treat right before he goes up to bed, and this solved the yellow barf problem. This will likely help with the grass eating, too. As for walking while spewing...can't help with that one. In search of the porcelain schoolbus, maybe?

How about little kids booger eating?
As a mod I was once forced to apologize to someone who was upset but I stand by what I did and I did do the right thing...I was a forced to apologize so I didn't really mean it. So, since I'm nolonger a mod I now retrack the apology.
Thank you,

Booger eating? Boogers are just dried mucus that come out of the nose. The nasal passages produce a pint to a quart of mucus each day -- and that mucus drains from the sinuses into the esophagus. So each and every one of us ingests almost a quart of snot and boogers each day. Hope this helps.

There was a French entertainer, late 1800 s or early 1900s, I don't recall. But according to the article I read, he was able to draw water IN, and could put out a candle on the other side of the stage. I don't recall the entire article, but, apparently, controlled flatulance was part of his artistic performance. I'll see what's on the Internet about him, and get back to you. See ya later.

Just be glad there's no way to post Scratch 'n' Sniff photos on this forum! This topic seems to fascinate our Inner Child, who is perhaps ten years old, and finds flatulence to be just hilarious. Of course, according to banjo picker Ike Newtons first law of sound, for every unpleasantly noisy flatulence, there must be an equal and opposite musically beautiful scrugsulence. Which explains why Bluegrass is a perfect anagram of assBugler .

OMG TOO FUNNY.
I've had a pretty sad day today but this thread just totally cheered me up.
As a child we discovered the intersting fact that if you fart in water (think bathtime antics as a kid) it actually smells worse that a fart done into the air.
Well we seemed to think they did. I don't take baths now (and I'm also alot older and supposedly more mature) so I'm not inclined to check out this theory ever again.
As for the dog puke. It's even worse when you get up to go to the toilet at night and don't turn on the lights and discover the dog puke with your bare feet.

(edit to add comment about original post) Bathrooms are where those sort of noises are OK and should happen without any remorse or apology.

The Bathtub Effect is more likely due to the fact that the warm, moist air above the tub tends to open up the nasal passages, and make the scent cells more able to detect the subtleties of the rising molecules.
