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.
