When you're home alone and you burp, do you still say, "Excuse me?"?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) March 21st, 2013

No one can hear you burp. It’s just you. Or you and your pets. Do you still say it?

I have a weird habit of doing this. No one can hear me, but I still feel the need to say “Excuse me” most of the time.

I say ‘excuse me’ even when I’m alone. No reason to get into bad habits just because you’re alone. :)

No, but,often MIlo will give me his baleful look. He never apologizes for barfing however (twice this morning). Turnaround is fair play, I say.

Nah, I’m a proud belcher. In my frat boy days we tried to do the alphabet in one burp.

You know what’s really rude is when your pets let out a human-ish burp or flatulance. I’m so over it..lol

Nope – the pleasures of living alone!

Pachy's avatar

YES, @janbb, you are SO right, although I’m not quite alone. I have a cat. And believe me, he couldn’t care less.

gailcalled's avatar

^^^ “he couldn’t care less”...does that means he cares a lot or doesn’t give a flying f*ck?

Not even when I am in company and do this

flutherother's avatar

I do, it comes out automatically. The apology I mean, but the burp as well.

rojo's avatar

No, I usually say “Mmmmmmmmmm, Tastes good again and again and again”.

DominicX's avatar

No, because if I’m alone then I might burp purposefully, whereas if other people are present that it will only be accidental, in which case I’ll say “excuse me”.

Crumpet's avatar

I only say ‘excuse me’ if i’m around people who aren’t close to me, or important people.
Otherwise just let it rip, its only a burp, everyone does it.

whitenoise's avatar

Nope. Excuse me. :)

elbanditoroso's avatar

Of course not! But if it is a particularly long or melodic burp, I may say “wow, that was a good one” to myself.

Burping is one of life’s most underrated pleasures. I think it is part of why I fight the cokey cola addiction, it makes me burp so well!

With regard to this specific question, no I don’t.

Q: What did one burp say to the other burp?

A: Let’s be stinkers and go out the other way!

Burp humor.

Plucky's avatar

Yes, every time. I’m not sure why…maybe just habit.

OpryLeigh's avatar

I don’t think so.

Sunny2's avatar

Mostly I just let it rumble and don’t worry about it. When people are around ‘Sorry’ or ‘Excuse me’ comes automatically and immediately.

I say “excuse me”... as I’m burping. Good to be efficient in all things.
