This is interesting. The person in question who drove me to begin this topic of conversation was a man, and I was incensed mainly because he seems to repeat the action every time he visits my house.
I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to say that it's broadly a male problem, but for comparison, my sister suffers from IBS and I can't even tell when she's been to the toilet It's a running joke in the family that she's never taken a sh*t in her life That, to me, is courtesy.
My original point was not 'How dare someone's sh*t stink!' - it was 'Why do some people not take the initiative to mask their odorous by-products when the opportunity is available to them?' I'd imagine it would be natural to be aware of the way you leave a room, especially if it isn't within your own home.
