Straw Poll - Would you hoik your judgey pants at this?

[BetsyMalone]

You're chatting with a friendly aquaintance. The woman you're chatting to is speaking and unexpectedly / accidentally lets out a small but very obvious burp mis sentence .

She says "oh excuse me" and carries on talking .

Do you think she should be embarrassed? Would you think any less of her ?

[misskatamari]

she excused herself. What do you expect her to do? It's only a burp!

[CheesyNachos]

No would not hoik my judgy pants- it happens!

(Nor would I hoik if it was an accidentally audible fart either).

[Birdsgottafly]

You think a normal bodily function, that she apologised for, is a reason to think less of someone?

I'd judge you.

[steakpunararemediumwelldone]

Would I think less of someone for having a normal bodily function? No.
Would I think less of someone who did think less of someone for a normal bodily function? Yes.

[Tiggeryoubastard]

It would be a weird thick person that thinks less of someone due to an involuntary bodily function.

[ghostyslovesheep]

no

[LadyLuck81]

What needs to be judged? Seriously? Is this an actual question? I hope it was you who did the burp and not the judging.

[Thurlow]

I'd be embarrassed if that we me, but I'd never judge anyone who did it. Who would? You can't exactly help doing it.

[Sofiria]

I'd be mildly embarrassed if I burped in front of an acquaintance, but I'd have done the same thing - excused myself and carried on.

I certainly wouldn't think any less of someone for burping in my presence! It's something all human beings do and unless someone is being deliberately obnoxious about it, it wouldn't strike me as notable enough to care about.

I too am hoping you're the one who burped and not the judgy person, OP!

[gamerchick]

No.

If they lifted a bum cheek and let out a long fart then wafted it towards me I might.

[BetsyMalone]

Yes it was me who did the burping

And I am horrified and so so embarrassed

It was at a meal with the mums from my DS school .

[MTPurse]

[steppemum]

I wondered if it was a reverse.
Don't worry, it happened you apologised. I bet most of the people didn't even notice

[GruntledOne]

I really wouldn't think anything of it.

[SaucyJack]

Did you attempt the alphabet mid burp?

Can't say it'd bother me anyway. Burp happens.

[Snowglobe1]

No lol, I wouldn't think anything of it.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

You daft bat. It's a burp, a involuntary bodily function. You said excuse me. Stop fretting.

[ChristmasZombie]

As long as you said "Excuse me" then I see no problem!
You didn't blow the burp towards the person you were speaking to, did you?

[BlueSmarties76]

No, no judging. Very normal. I would only judge burping at the table if it's a teenager doing a massive comedy burp.

[Meeep]

I wouldn't remember it two minutes later!

[Crispbutty]

It wouldn't bother me..

I do find burping very amusing though and have often had burping competitions with my other half - immature me

[gamerchick]

It's such a small thing OP

Do you have anxious times in general?

[SecretNutellaFix]

I'd probbaly only judge if she held her hand out and muttered hang on a sec before letting out a Shrek-like belch.

You said excuse me, nothing to be embarrassed about. The human body makes all manner of potentially embarrassing noises. Every human body.

[OnlyLovers]

Did you attempt the alphabet mid burp?

I'd actually applaud someone who did that, not judge.

It's fine, OP. I get why you feel embarrassed, but you excused yourself. Did anyone react negatively? If they did, that says more about them than you.

[MrsEricBana]

Aw, definitely no judging would have occurred. Don't give it another thought.
