I just can't get over how nasty she is. We had the family over for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday.
We all sitting at the table enjoying our meal, when my Mother burps (now these arnt little burps they are loud and sound like she can rip everything and puke).
She does this all the time, out in public, gatherings, you name it. I was getting in my car to leave to go to work (with all windows of the house, and car plus music), it sounded like she was sitting right beside me.
She sees nothing wrong with it, she will do it anywhere, then laugh about it. This is why noone comes over for gatherins, and we all get up and leave when she does it. Such as last night she kept doing it when 3 of us got up and left the room to eat. She does it at work all the time, and doesnt think how nasty it is and those around here hearing here.

I am sorry and I know it is your mother but this is really disgusting. What is worse is that she doesn't see anything wrong with this gross behaviour. I 5hink that you all shouls forcefully tell her that yu will not longer eat with her if she behaves this way. I also think that you should tell her that it is a very crude and common behaviour practised by those who haven't been told to do better. Maybe this will shock her so much that she will stop. Burping can be controlled and if for some reason she cannot stop a burp and then she should excuse herself from the table. I hope that she stops.I couldn;t stand it.

Oy vey, I know what you mean it is disgusting and rude. I know I have a lot of gas and I try to close my mouth or put my hand over my mouth or go somewhere to try to get it all out quietly. But I think my problem is because I eat my food too fast, I mean I don't mean to, but it's a habit to eat fast, maybe it's because when I was younger I was forced to eat fast "on the run" so to speak cuz we were always in a rush.

Call me old-fashioned but burping out loud period is rude. Even if you have a lot of gas you can almost completely mute the burp. Burping out loud basically means the person opens his mouth and let it go, or some people put their diaphragm and upper stomach muscles to work (put more effort into it, as they say).

I could see if you try to shielf it, or excuse yourself. But she will just burp real loud, and it hurts your ears, then laugh about it, then balmes someone else. Many of us got up and left the table, and will just ignore her. If its a long term problem it's something that should be addressed at the doctors. I have a friend who eat too fast, so went went out to eat once, and I would take her plate away if she ate too fast.

here is an idea secretly tape her when she is doing it and so when she is not play it back until she gets sick of hearing it.

Did you tell her that you did not like it and that it makes people believe that your food is bad? What she is doing is not just gross it is rude. If there is something medically wrong with her, then she could take something to stop it. I think she does it deliberately. And maybe you should say out loud, "Mother!" when she starts to do those horrible burps.

I'd feel a bit embarrassed if I myself had burped loud, and it had happened a few times in which I quickly apologized for it since some might find it rude. But in some cultures, especially Asian cultures, burping is a form of compliment for the person who cooked the meal.

That does seem a bit gross to do, especially at a dinner table. I could understand a bit more if she did this after a meal but it's sort of rude to just do that while still at the table. I'm surprised she does it even at work or in public, she must not care at all.
My dad is kind of like that except it's farts. We'll be walking down an aisle of the grocery store and he'll just let one go and smell up the aisle. It's embarrassing for my mom and I to be with him because it's just gross.

Exactly, she belches so loud you can hear her down the street. I feel sorry for the neighbours because they can all hear her. She does it at work, she will get back in the car, and burp real loud and I'm sure peopple can hear. I think its just nasty and rude, especially at dinner and then laughing about it (noone else is laughing). Most of us got up adn elft the room, we just ignore her when she tries to get attention and will say things like omg you burps loud, or omg stop being so rude meanwhile it's her.

Here in UK if someone does not burp after a meal we take it as a great insult. The burp we take to signify appreciation of the meal and farting as the supreme accolade
all the best urban

Really, we're usually told we are too polite. Now what was it people said about Canadians?

At her age acting like that is really immature. I would be grossed out by it to. When I was a teenager I used to do this and thought it was funny. I don't know how old I was when I stopped doing it and thinking it was funny but I imagine it was probably around the time I had kids when I was 20. I don't want my kids acting that way.

I agree, it is and very rude. I caan see a young child or teenager. But she does it constantly such as even right now shes going burping around. I wont go anywhere in public with her, and avoid her at home because it's just nasty. Yet, she sees nothing wrong with it, and even laughs about it.

I wish I lived near you, if I saw her out in public I wouldn't think twice about going up and telling her "Ma'am, that's just plain rude not to mention gross. If you've got to belch that bad, go to the bathroom for goodness sakes!"
I mean, now in my family we belch, but we don't do it often and if we have what I call the "puke burps" which is the indigestion burps that taste and smell nasty, we go to another room or try to mask them as best we can.
What she is doing is just plain rude!

Eiw. That is gross. I also do not like people who do that, i do have an office mate here who do burps in the middle of work time..and he forgets to apologize and keeps on doing it which is a lot more annoying.

In some places, a burp is viewed as a compliment to the chef. However, the belching that your mother is doing doesn't sound like it would be a compliment to any chef at all, it sounds like it would be enough to run a chef out of the kitchen.
Now I do realize that there are some people that do have problems with gas, but I think that if someone does have those kinds of problems, then there are medications that can help with that.
My husband got really bad gas and belching when he was going through his chemotherapy last year, but he dealt with it as best he could because it was the meds that were causing that which were saving his life.

I feel you! I've experienced the same thing. My mother is also like that. She burp after we had family meals out on restaurants. She's kinda disgusting but really funny as well. :)

Lol...it is gross but it is kind of funny also. I've never seen a woman so openly burp at the dinner table and in front of people. You would expect that from a man. Does anyone say anything to her? Or just get up and leave? I would say something to my mom like, "Mom, really?" Lol.

Has your mother had this checked? I know that burping is just, you know, burping. But sometimes it signals an underlying medical condition and the person doing it just thinks its normal. My mother who had liver and colon cancer thought that she was just always gassy, so she burps a lot. That was before she got diagnosed. When she got diagnosed, we learned that that burp and gas she was complaining about was something else and it was too late to operate on
. But she lived another five years, burping all the time.
I'd also have her diet checked. Sometimes our diet makes our stomachs acidic and causes the burps.
