It's normal to those people that do it because that is their habit. It's a bad habit and it is something only they can change. I would hate for somebody to fart while I'm eating and spitting in front of people always is a gross site to see.

That's because it is normal. Sometimes they spit on the bus too; it doesn't matter if it's a normal 10 minute ride, or a 7 hour trip on a new bus. Learn to grin and bear it, or it will drive you crazy. A lot of the younger people think it's gross, but they can't change it either.

Two years ago, I was on the school bus to the second campus and the teacher next to me kept on passing gas afgain and again and again. Finally, unable to stand it anymore or move to another chair I openend the window. Every time someone tried to close it I would stop their hand. Finally, Gassy demanded I close the window and I just pointed to him and said loudly "feng pi" (fart). Those immediately around laughed and no one else bothered me with the window.
My fear was that I was going to toss my cookies, so I resolved tht if I did, it would be right on Stinky's lap.
Peeee-you!

Maybe, and usually I do try very hard to not make anyone lose face, but that day I was feeling too sick to really care.
