One of my early jobs was working at a small PC repair/sales shop owned by a married pair of Indian immigrants.
They would fart as freely as blinking. This was in a very conservative white midwestern town, and they wouldn't even reel it in while pitching sales to potential buyers.
I was a teen at the time and couldn't believe it, ripping ass right in front of a potential customer while running over prices of various components, without missing a beat.
But clearly this is a cultural thing, and some cultures don't seem to frown upon it.
The best part was they also ate vegetarian, and the most convenient vegetarian fast-food option was taco bell so they ate bean burritos practically ever day. The flatulence was nearly constant.

Are your office mates immigrants?
