   A complete stranger or your own family......can you really disreguard?....I just can't!  I laugh every time....I don't know why!  Why do I get such a kick out of this?

   REGARDLESS.....family, friend or stranger.  I just walk away in total disgust.  This is a totally rude and highly unacceptable thing for anyone to do.......

   I don't comment. I just walk away. Most people are embarrassed when it happens, so your laughter probably offers some level of comfort.
   
   Some cultures think this is totally fine. It is a "natural" bodily function. I just walk away because I don't want to be next to the person with that odor up my nose.
   
   Some people are just rude and pop them out because they like the attention. I find myself squinting my eyes at them, still just walking away.
   
   A lot of people do laugh, but I don't remember ever laughing at something like that. I'm overly concerned about how I'm going to avoid the smell. To me it is rated the same as second hand smoke.

   I say nothing. I think saying something would be just as rude as they are.

   It depends on who is doing the gassing. If it's a friend or a family member, I'll rib them to no end. I'd expect no less from them. People pass gas all the time and, especially as we get older - as I'm finding out - it's a little harder to control. If someone is genuinely embarrassed about it, I'll make a comment about how s**t happens. They usually get over it pretty quickly.
   
   Hi. My name is Georgie. I'm 41 years old. And I think farts are funny. Thank you for listening.

   My mother in-law is notorious for doing this. She doesn't care where she's at or who's around. She just says, excuse me, sorry. Sometimes I just laugh at her and other times it's irritating because my wife and I are currently living with her for another month..lol.  Otherwise I laugh, especially when it happens in church or in  the middle of a quiet group of people..I'm immature, I know.
