passing gas in planes, trains, and automobiles

I was wondering if there are any implicit or explicit societal rules
regarding the issue of public farting?    The reason why this topic's
been on my mind lately is because of a situaition I encountered when
carpooling.  Let me explain:

I was carpooling with some other folks, since the price of gas is so
ridiculous.....so I figured why not try to save a few bucks by pooling
resources with others.

Well, something I've been noticing over the past few days is that
there's a certain young fellow who rides with us who is plopped down
in the backseat of the pick-up truck who...quite frankly.....throws
the stinkiest farts in the mornings, and my god, man, it stinks like
he shit all over himself.   Smells like something crawled up someone's
ass and died.  I shit you not.

Anyway, I decided that I was no longer going to put up with it, so I
decided to confront the guy.   I had enough of this, after putting up
with it already for several days in a row.  I didn't think my nose
could take any more, quite honestly.

Well, I'm sure it goes without saying, I couldn't help but wince when
this guy passed gas YET AGAIN right on schedule earlier today,
so ...fed up as I was...it prompted me to turn around from my seat in
the front to voice my displeasure.

First thing I said to him was, "don't you use the frickin' bathroom in
the morning before you board this truck? "

I thought it was more than fair to inquire about whether or not he had
access to restroom facilities in the mornings BEFORE he boarded the
truck to catch a ride.  After all,  why not clear out all the pipes on
his own time so to speak, instead of subjecting innocent bystanders to
his insides?.

Well, needless to say, the guy's face turned beet red as I continued
my diatribe.  He then started to lower down his window to allow the
offending odors a means of escape, but it was already too little,  too
late ...as far as I was concerned.   The polite thing to do would've
been to immediately lower the window when he cut the cheese.    To not
do so is just plain rude, IMO, but hey, perhaps I'm out of touch with
how people act nowadays.    Maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy.

Anyway, I then tried to give this young man some helpful advice that
would help us get along,  because we all do have to ride together
every day.    I cordially suggested that he adopt a "routine" every
morning---before boarding the truck with us--- where he gets into the
habit of sitting on the comode to drop off his load.   Maybe I was
getting too personal, but I was just tryin' to help.

At this point, the young man became indigant and inform me, "I don't
need no routine".

I then asked the guy, "yeah, but it stinks bad like something died or
something   what the fuck are you eating, dude?"

He told me that he likes to eat a lot of fast food, so I suggested
that he should instead be on the look-out for a nutritious meal.

I received no indication that he was going to alter his diet.

After this all went down, I complained about this whole incident to
one of the other people who rides in the truck with us.

He basically said, "what's the big deal.  everyone farts".   but I
told him, "yeah, but this guy doesn't just fart.  It smells like he's
shitting in his fucking pants every morning."


Interested in the thoughts of others on this topic.
