I can see how it could be considered rude if it's just one guest in someone else's house: imagine, if you will:
'Excuse me for a moment'
*runs upstairs,doom slams*
*straining noises*
*pages turning*
...much time passes...
'Wow, that's much better. Always nice to have a satisfying shit'
That could be considered rude. Especially if you're just chatting and then the host gets abandoned to ponder what you're getting up to in there
But if you're staying in someone's house? Just get on with it.

However, if you are simply visiting your sweaty fat friend Dave, then you should feel free to unload the bomb bay whenever you see fit, because he won't have cleaned the fucking bog for 3 years anyway, the dirty bastard.

Does no one here have any manners Ummmmm.
Actually, it's the host who generally accommodates the guests.. so as long as you politely raise the subject with your host, there really can be no objection to this.
No, it's not about politeness or manners, it's merely about fear

Seemed terribly English to propose doing something in such a way as you could demonstrate your discomfort in doing it.

I once threw up in a toilet in a flat where everybody kept their own stash of toilet paper in their bedrooms. I ended up leaning over the toilet with this string of pukey-mucus hanging out of my nose and mouth, and, being drunk, I was too scared to try to shake it off and go and ask for toilet paper for fear that I might get some on the floor and trek it over the carpet.
On the matter of gas... How do farts find their way out? Presumably they're lighter than poo, so how do they find their way down and out?

From the Interwebs:
One may wonder why fart gas travels downward toward the anus when gas has a lower density than liquids and solids, and should therefore travel upwards.
The intestine squeezes its contents toward the anus in a series of contractions, a process called peristalsis. The process is stimulated by eating, which is why we often need to poop and fart right after a meal. Peristalsis creates a zone of high pressure, forcing all intestinal contents, gas included, to move towards a region of lower pressure, which is toward the anus. Gas is more mobile than other components, and small bubbles coalesce to from larger bubbles en route to the exit. When peristalsis is not active, gas bubbles may begin to percolate upwards again, but they won't get very far due to the complicated and convoluted shape of the intestine. Furthermore, the anus is neither up nor down when a person is lying down.
You all taking this very seriously when clearly Miaow is winding you up. Seriously, Miaow has a wicked sense of humor. I jump for joy when I see he's started a new thread.
i personally cannot use public toilets for number 2's. or any other toilets other than my toilet. its a matter off i dont know who used it last and id rather not sit here for ages whilst wondering what germs they left and how many are now on me.
if heaven forbid i have to use a public toilet or someone elses i coat the seat in toilet paper so i dont have to physically touch it.
i have been known to hold a number 2 in for 4 days before because i refused to use the public toilets.
Now being other people to raise money! Hyperbole cosplay on FB & instagram

Eh? Even office toilets? You could bring a potty to work, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. And if they do then sue 'em for being pooists.

I'm going to have to build a fake colon and fill it with fake poo and fake fart and start squeezing it to see what happens.

Many computer users risk becoming ill because their keyboards are up-to FIVE TIMES dirtier than a toilet seat.
Consumer group Which? took swabs from keyboards across London offices and tested them for bugs such as e.coli, staphylococcus aureus and enterobacteria.
They found the bugs to be present in many and say this could cause upset stomachs and food poisoning or 'qwerty tummy' as they are calling it, after the first six letters on a keyboard.
Microbiologist Dr Peter Wilson even insisted one of the tested keyboards was removed, quarantined and cleaned after it was revealed to have 150 times the recommended limit for bacteria.
In the same office the scientists tested a toilet seat which have five times less germs.
Which? said one of the causes of dirty keyboards was users eating lunch at their desk, with crumbs encouraging the growth of bacteria.
Poor personal hygiene, such as not washing hands after going to the toilet, could also be to blame, it said.
