We should respond with "bless you" whenever someone farts or burps, amirite?

Do you know why people say bless you when they sneeze? Saying excuse me when you're the one farting or burping is the correct etticate...

I like the idea that a fart is part of one's soul escaping the body. The rancid, evil part of the soul.

Definitely, also farts and burps happen. But I swear some people burp louder on purpose

I've actually done this for some time with people I'm comfortable with. A girl I know has involuntary, violent hiccups that can be quite awkward in a silent room, so I simply say bless you to ease the tension and she really appreciates it

If a tree farts in a forest and there's nobody around to say bless you, did it even make a sound?

The office is bad enough without normalising farts and burps.

Farting and burping is normal though.

Oh what so microscopic airborne innard particles hitting my olfactory gland doesn't count ?

That happens every day anyway.

You can just ignore it, that goes for sneezing too

Yep, I never say "bless you", seems weird.

I say gesundheit whenever someone's body makes any kind of expulsion-based sound. Have done so as far back as I can remember.

Makes more sense to say bless you on those occasions because it's a more realistic possibility that their soul is trying to escape the body. Dunno if you've had the privilege of tasting my souls aroma but jeez!

I just say "7.3" and give a quick thumbs up.

Iirc "Bless you" comes from when the bubonic plague was around and people would say it as in " may the lord bless you so you don't die" as sneezing was one of the first signs they had the plague.

I want to start doing this

I already do this. At least to friends. It's fun.

Why would we try to encourage and normalize openly farting in public though? This negative reaction to burps and farms is because... hmm. ... they're gross! Sound gross.smell gross. Are done by gross people who lack physical self control and manners. Our adverse reaction has come about for good reason.

When someone sneezes you are supposed to say Sancho.

I usually just yell out: "10 points!" and go about my day.
