Do you say “pardon me”/“excuse me” after each individual burp?

Was talking about this earlier with DD after dinner and she burped and said “pardon” and didn’t for the next 4 consecutive burps. I personally say it again after multiple burps or if I can feel another one brewing I’ll wait until after that one. Is there a correct etiquette regarding this?

Nah. If I'm alone I let rip.
If I'm with other people I'll get it all out and the say something like, "some people are just fucking rude"
"Oo I tasted that"
"No manners some people"
"Could almost chew that one."

So on and so on

🤣 yes, this.

Honestly, I don’t think I burp more than once in a row. Is that weird?

No, there's no etiquette. There are no fineries around burping politely because it's not polite to burp (in British culture)!

I usually say oops if I’m with people. Or sometimes fuck me if it’s a big burp.

Watchkeys · 28/01/2024 21:23

@mindutopia

Perhaps you just do really thorough burps?

Pacifybull · 28/01/2024 21:24

I wouldn’t burp in public at all.

blackpanth · 28/01/2024 21:24

I just say sorry about that I burp like homer simpson

ArnieLinson · 28/01/2024 21:25

Why are you burping so much? Why is your daughter? What are you eating and drinking that you shouldnt be?

Isseywith3witchycats · 28/01/2024 21:26

yes i always say excuse me

DietrichandDiMaggio · 28/01/2024 21:28

Another one who doesn't usually burp multiple times in a row here.

SallyWD · 28/01/2024 21:31

I hardly ever burp, let alone burp several times in a row

How on Earth would you stop it? It’s an involuntary escape of air…

I don't burp in public, certainly not involuntary, must be awful if it just happens with no control.

Cheeesus · 28/01/2024 22:37

Let it out slowly so no one is aware of it?

XiCi · 28/01/2024 22:39

Your dd burped 5 times at dinner? I hardly ever burp at all. I don't think I've ever eaten with anyone thats burped at a table. That's really odd

It is literally a release of air you can’t control. That’s what a burp is. You can reduce the sound - is that what you mean?

DillDanding · 28/01/2024 22:48

I would always excuse myself. Can’t say I’m a burper though.

sproutsandparsnips · 28/01/2024 22:48

I am unable to burp so am quite jealous. DH and DS on the other hand......

Wacadu · 28/01/2024 22:52

I would said it after each one.

But I've burped at home......by myself.......and still said Excuse Me.

I'm weird.

WDIDAT · 28/01/2024 23:02

Do people seriously not burp after a meal? Especially a large meal? I can burp 10-15 times after a large meal 🤣 I’d do it under my breath in public though.

I think saying "pardon me"
Is worse than the burp.
"Excuse me" is fine.

I do not burp after a meal. I do not ever burp that anyone would notice. I would not be ok with anyone burping at the table.

No, not at all. I might get a few bubbly hiccups if I drink a fizzy drink too quickly but I don't even remember the last time I burped or the last time I heard someone burp. I would assume that someone who burps multiple times has an issue with the digestive system.

I suppose so, I rarely burp so not an issue thankfully.

No, of course not.
Not since I was drinking milk from a bottle as a baby.

Surely you have eaten with other people before, and realised everyone isn't sitting around being so rude ?
