10 Social Situations Where Everyone Just Ends Up Embarrassing Themselves

5. Farting In Public

Sorry if I embarrass any of you prudes by bringing this one up. Let's not pretend that farting isn't a thing that happens to everyone. Not, it's not exclusive to fat hairy uncultured men, cracking open another can of beer and diving into a bag of nachos while they watch endless rounds of America's Next Top Model. If common social etiquette is to be believed, farting is totally acceptable... as long as you are completely on your own and no one else is within a 100 mile radius. This eliminates the risk that anyone else will be exposed to the stench of your flatulence or the undesirable sound that it produces. However, if you make the cardinal sin of breaking wind in public, you will embarrass everyone around you, too - particularly if you happen to be a woman (rather unfairly).
