Courtesy Poof!
Everyone is familiar with the courtesy flush concept; i.e. being in the bathroom and flushing the toilet just to make noise to either cover up your own, or someone else’s toots.
Urbandictionary.com gives us a great definition:
A flush in the middle of the toilet-sitting process in order to reduce the aroma…usually performed on a “foreign throne” as a courtesy to the owner of said throne… in other words, to be polite and not stink up the host’s crapper too much.
I gave a courtesy flush at the Smith’s party because I didn’t want to kill the next person to use the bathroom.
There are a few other off-shoots of the courtesy flush from the site as well, you can view the rest here:

Well, I’d like to introduce a new bathroom concept:
The Courtesy Poof
While under the same pretense as the courtesy flush– making a noise to cover up an inappropriate one- instead of flushing the toilet, you just make a noise yourself.. a POOF! But a real one.. okay so.. this started when I was in the restroom at work today and whoever was in the stall near me, farted. Yeah I said it, she farted. I felt bad, like I was kind of embarrassed for her and felt like maybe if someone ELSE farted (being noble of course), that person may not feel so ashamed.
Personally, I don’t get embarrassed very easily, so I would sacrifice someone thinking it may have been me over someone else suffering terrible embarrassment. I guess I just have a kind heart <3 Ha ha!
So next time you’re in the bathroom, and if you hear someone having trouble holding in their poofs, be a pal and maybe squeeze one out yourself. That way they don’t feel as bad, and then if anyone else is in the bathroom, no one will know who it’s coming from.
