Many moons ago, I was flying business class on China Airlines, San Francisco to Taipei. This chinese guy walks up beside me (I'm seated), cuts a "silent giant" that should have brought the plane down and walks off like nothing happened. I guess he didn't consider this rude.

When I left my job with a food service company, one of my old clients refused to buy from my replacement because he farted in her office then denied it. She called me asking how to request a new salesman because he "tooted and it was disgusting".
I'm too well mannered. I have to do the whole taking a dump process with flush and febreeze included.
So another bathroom related story....... I am currently working on a construction site, where we have an intricate small city-system of work trailers, with exterior septic tanks to hold the sewage. Well yesterday afternoon the septic disposal company came by to clean out the septic tanks. Well the idiot operator hit the blower function on the truck in lieu of the vacuum, which proceeded to push the sewage back through the pipes. There just happened to be one of Italian clients who was taking a **** at this time, and he got an unpleasant surprise. We heard him yelling "CULO" as his ******* was getting a shower of sewage.
I've worked with many Chinese co-workers that do the same thing. Based on my experience, it's less of an issue to them. Actually that extends to noises in general - eating extremely loud, hocking loogies / spitting, farting -- all fair game with the folks I've worked with from China.
I went to school with a few experts... while flying to Hawaii they mastered the "throwing farts" (farting on their hand then quickly placing their hand over your nose). Killer. They got so good at it that thy would fart on their hand, then grab the a/c diverter to aim it at the seat behind. Hard to believe college students would find that funny, but I still laugh about it over thirty years later.
I am that friend and enjoy farting on xbox live chats and waiting to see if my friends were able to hear it. At work, I typically wait till I go to the restroom before I let them rip. However, when I leave work I enjoy farting in the elevator on the way down. I typically wait till it I know it will not stop on any floors till it gets to the main lobby. People don't know what is waiting for them when when they enter the elevator as I'm exiting. Also, I enjoy farting on the escalator.
Cough-Fart is the way to go. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aLLlZ3CRdCs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The Chinese in general have poor hygiene and poor manners. Usually their children acculturate quickly and it isn't a long term problem. I also have known a number of Chinese that have no issue with throwing their garbage in the road or wherever that they may be. We had a tenant in the floor below us that was a Chinese company, and almost all their employees were from China. I found chicken bones in the parking lot, diapers, assorted trash and....... their waste dumpster empty. I had an employee have his tires flattened by a glass bottle. That conversation with the landlord and co-tenant did not go well.
