Guys, accidental burp in mid-conversation?

[Anonymous]

Today at work I was sitting with a work mate (a guy) side by side looking at the same computer screen. I was mid-sentence when a small but audible burp came out, I just said "pardon me" and kept talking. He didn't react at all but I could help but wonder what he was thinking. Guys, what would you think?

[LJHam]

I briefly looked over what the guys said, and it looks like the general consensus is it was no big deal. I would trust them on that.

This reminds me of an episode of Sex in the CIty where SJP's character farted in bed with her boyfriend and she felt humiliated. But the fact was, it was no big deal. Women are humans just like men. We're gonna end up having bodily noises too sometimes. Hopefully we just do it with a little more grace. ;-)

[Asker]

Thanks I do trust the guys here - thanks guys!
I didn't see that episode 😁..

S01E11 The Drought.

[Asker]

Haha thanks 😁

How about meeting a very important client who just dropped tens of thousands of dollars on you in one sitting for a quick project and as you're leaving your meeting he decides to hug you instead of shaking your hand. As he gives you a quick hug - you erupt in to a massive choking fit. How would you like that one, because that happened to me two weeks ago. Fuck.

[Asker]

Yeah that is embarressing!!! I am sure he thought you are only human too.
I was once in my office on my own (shared it with two guys who were both away). No one had been in to see me all day. I dropped a fart and in walks a work colleague - I saw the exact moment that the smell hit his nostrils. I was so embarressed but pretended nothing was going on and so did he after he recovered from shock. Months later when we knew each other better and were at the pub, someone mentioned farts and he says to me "geezus you hit me with a beauty once - do you remember?". I guess it was one he did t forget...

[S0ph5t3R]

It happened to me. Luckily, it was in front of one of my good friends, but my crush was a few seats away..! I was soooo embarrassed! I just laughed at myself and made light-hearted and then went on with the conversation with my friend. It's not a big deal, it happens. Don't worry! ;)

[Asker]

Hahaha that is funny!,... I didn't know this guy too well.

[Asker]

Thanks for sharing that as it has made me feel better 😁

[Anonymous]

Welcome to the Guy's Club
they will feel more comfortable around you now... and something to tease you about = both good things

[Asker]

Haha that's cool, thanks 😁

[TheINTJ]

:)) That reminds me of this.

[Asker]

LOL... yes it was exactly like the first take.

[Applefan1]

He probably did not even care that your burped or thought it was a little funny (funny in a good way). Most men don't care about this kind of thing when women do it. I don't care, I don't even care when women fart and many other men also don't care about that either. They are just natural bodily functions. Any real man does not care when women do bodily functions in my opinion.

[Asker]

Thanks for your response :-)
It because we are often brought up to think it is not lady-like...

[Applefan1]

Yes well in my opinion it is stupid to tell girls it is not lady like. I don't agree with society teaching girls this. Burping, farting and pooping are all natural bodily functions that you women need to do to so why should women be judged for doing it. :)

[Asker]

Yeah I agree! We should not be made to feel ashamed... and I think they are funny but I know some people do not and are disgusted.

[Applefan1]

Well I actually find it way more funny when females fart than men to be honest. I also think good on the woman for just letting it go.

[Applefan1]

I know if I had a girlfriend or any girl was around me and she got gas I would be really chilled about it and just think "if you gotta fart just do it". :)

[Asker]

Is it more funny when women do it because it is unexpected?
Yes I agree when you got to do it you just got ro do it...

[Applefan1]

Yeah that is why it is more funny when women do it. Also I like the fact the woman does not care about the double standard in society about it and it just doing it. I mean I am the kind of guy that would be find with cuddling up with a girl on the sofa in each others arms and I would not make her move to fart, I would just be like just do it and feel better. I am also find with a girl farting in the bed to. It is only gas.

[Asker]

Yeah that's it - break loose from sexist societal rules!

[Applefan1]

I agree I mean hek even if I was spooning with a girl I would not make her move to fart or if she was sitting on my knee I would be like it is fine you don't need to move. I mean a girl farts on you, big deal how is that going to harm you.

[Applefan1]

Hope that does not sound weird, I am just super comfortable. Also I hope you understood my other message I noticed I typed find instead of fine.

[Asker]

My ex - if I farted he would go "ooohhh" in disgust and leave - even if I didn't fart on him.
Yeah I understood your message.

[Applefan1]

Yes the men and women that act like that when their partner farts are strange I think. I mean the human body puts the gas down to our ass asking for us to push dump it out of our bodies.

[Asker]

Hahaha...

[Applefan1]

Haha did you like the way I worded that.

[Asker]

yes, a little graphic though!

[Applefan1]

Hahahaha! sorry. :)

[waviddalck]

Unless he is some uber anal manners type of "gentleman", he most likely just chuckled on the inside and moved on.

[Asker]

Cool, I dont think he is all anal about manners so I am hoping he laughed on the inside about it and move on. He's still talking to me the same so that is a good sign I guess..

[ThePragmaticRomantic]

He was shamed by your action, and your failure to not commit ritual suicide for your great indisgretion. He has now likely been put off women for life, and will no doubt currently be in conversation with your employer, who is also ashamed by the gross act, to send a hit squad after your entire family... or more likely he was mildly suprised by it purely because it was not expected, then recognising that you are a human thought no more about it. Either way, you dont need to worry.

[Asker]

Haha thanks :-)

[JuicyBrain]

If I was him. If you had felt awkward, I would have laughed. The way you reacted, I wouldn't have said a word. I honestly would not have cared other than having a little laugh inside :-) Hey, you're human...

[Asker]

Thanks for your comment. Yeah I thought best to carry on although I felt awkward and embarressed inside although he probably would not have picked up on it.

[JuicyBrain]

It's only a burp...

[Asker]

True, thanks :-)

[TripleAce]

It's grosse obviously lol... and not very attractive hhaha... but it's normal

Could of been worse, just you two sitting besides each other and a few minutes later you smell fart and you clearly it's from one of yous lol

[Asker]

Yes it could-ve been a fart... and many years ago I did that to a guy at work too. I was on my own, dropped one, and he HAD to walk in right at that moment, didn't he? And yeah I saw the moment it hit his nostrils !!! Bwahahaha...

[Pyrofox]

I'd just start laughing I personally wouldn't care I'm stuck with mostly tomboy girls so burping is nothing ^w^

[Asker]

Thanks for your answer... yeah I guess a bit different in an office, no tomboys there. But from what you and everyone here has said he probably didn't care...

[GuyAdviceFromGuy]

I would have blown air in his face after burping then been like "excuse you for being in my burp's way"

[Asker]

Hahaha... such a guy thing, I couldnt do that!

[youknowitt]

Tha's adorable hahaha. If I were you, I would just laugh it out after because life's to short to take silly things like this so seriously.

[Asker]

Yeah you are right - It was one of those moments where I was so engrossed in conversation I just carried on and then later thought omg I practically burped in his face! and I felt embarresssed

[Anonymous]

Nothing I guess. You're only human. Such things happen.

[jjmarvin]

Well as we know, girls don't burp, poo or pee, so he was probably just silently keeping his fragile male brain from exploding.

[Asker]

Or fart... ;-)

[jormungand]

Meh, he doesn't really care. He may have been a bit surprised, cuz women don't burp/fart in public very often. At least, when there are guys around

[Asker]

Haha that is true - we dont usually burp or fart around guys unless we are comfortable with them.

[Asker]

Thanks for your response :-)

[jormungand]

No problemo. Gag is is a nice time-out when studying for a resit. Maybe a little too nice, cuz i haven't done anything yet -_- hahaha

[Asker]

Haha yes I find GAG is interesting and fun. You better go study ;-)

[RJGraveyTrain]

I'd think: she probably drinks things that cause gas bubbles that form in her stomach and then eventually release... she must be chill.

[9mfeo]

I really doubt that he noticed or would care at all. Gas bubbles happen. It's normal and natural and you oughtn't be embarrassed.

[electrollama]

You acted appropriately by pardoning yourself. He probably thinks you have good manners if anything.

[Asker]

Thanks that makes me feel better :-)

[Keyspirits]

Lelelel now dat shite is funnay! I would think of anything but juz alil and than forget about it soon afterwards. We wouldn't point it out cuz thats quite rude

[Asker]

Thanks - hope he thought the same. He was expressionless so I dont know what he thought.

[Anpu23]

Nothing, probably didn't even hit his radar. If it did it was just fleeting. No big deal.

[Asker]

Thanks for your answer. Well he was totally expressionless so maybe it didn't hit his radar...

[jacquesvol]

If I noticed it I'd think 'She's human, this can happen.'

[Asker]

Cool thanks for your answer :-)
I'm sure he would have noticed hence the "pardon me"... yeah hope he just thought same as you.

[genericname85]

lol i´d inwardly laugh my ass off xD i´m a simple man.

[Asker]

Cool thanks for your answer :-)
I'm laughing about it now (I'm simple too) but I'm embarressed I basically burped in his face although we were both looking at the screen so he wasn't really in the line of fire.

[genericname85]

i think it´s never as awkward or strange for other people as it is to you.

[Asker]

That's a good way of thinking about it, thanks :-)

[AngryHorny]

It's seeiously not a big deal. Guys do this all the time.

[Asker]

Thanks for your answer - yeah girls dont do it all the time :-)

[sp33d]

He was assessing on a scale of 1 10 in comparison to his own personal highlights.

[Asker]

Hahaha - thanks :-)

[Words_and_Wisdom]

I'd chuckle but not think much of it. Don't get self-conscious over such a silly thing.

[Asker]

Thanks, that makes me feel better :-)

[RasAlGhul]

no problem at al. a litle burp and u say pardon and keep doing what u are doing.. everything normal

[Asker]

Thanks for your response :-)
Yes not one guy has said it would be seen as a bad thing. So that is good :-)
