What is the orgin of saying excuse me after a natural bodily function? Like after we burp or fart… I mean we dont say excuse me after we blink or breath… any help would be greatfull.
Because burping and farting involve potentially loud noises, bad smells and are embarrasing and/or offensive.
Blinking and breathing, however, are not.
Besides, everyone breathes and blinks all the time. Not everyone farts and/or burps all the time.

Ah come on, whoever finds burping and farting offensive deserve to have it done in front of them.
