To think that if you MUST burp in public...

[NCForNow]

you don't also need to ANNOUNCE what it was that you ate to make you burp!?

Honestly...I have a bit of a "thing" about people burping...I hate it...if I need to do it, then I suppress it a bit...you know...do it subtly.

Some people seem to think it's ok to burp loudly and then say "Onions."

or "Whoops! That must be the cheese n onion toastie I had at lunch"

GROSS!!!!

AIBU to think this is extremely poor manners?

I have suffered this TWICE today with different people..one was a client and the other was a random stranger in a shop.

I hate it, not people burping (unless they do the whole ultra loud thing) but the whole declaration thing. What's wrong with a quiet "pardon me"? It's like people who fart and then tell everyone. We all do it, you're not special.

We DON'T say "Pardon me" on Mumsnet Lurked

Not ever!

My boyfriend burps and then says, very loudly "Said the king!"

My DH says "Speech!" (Don't know why...) But it's at home - I'd be mortified in public.

I have a girlfriend who burps loudly in public. She says nothing at all - she just expects everyone to accept "it's just how I roll".

YANBU, how revolting. I HATE it when people burp so loudly it sounds like an earthquake or some such. it makes me feel sick.
