I am so bad with people {snip}

My partner (teaches physics) is an engineer and is as you say, bad with
people. He also has a problem with gas. Within 5 minutes of meeting a
new person, he typically farts loudly on them, and then, without a trace
of shame, he just smiles.

Is there something wrong with doing this? Is it the smiling or the
farting that bothers people?

It's probably the combination of behaviors that strikes others as odd. He
actually thinks there is nothing wrong with farting loudly in front of any
and all. It doesn't matter if it's the Pope or the Queen of England,
provided the farter takes the blame and does not allow others to wonder if
the Queen had beans last night.

btw - I took this same fellow sailing with me on an overnighter and I paid
for that decision. At around 2 AM I woke up to hear him say, "man, you're
not gonna like this." And he was right!
