I usually give a short, simple 'fuck you' for trying to pass their disease on to me or my peers.

I dont say anything, unless its an unusual sneeze, then i comment on it.

Saying bless you is silly, it's because people thought your soul leaves your body when you sneeze, so just so god doesnt strike you down someone says bless you. bah!

I'm pretty sure Seath's explanation is the true one of where the saying originated although yours could be why some people say it now.
I don't say anything except "man, you sneezed."

In Japan nobody says anything when somebody sneezes. it`s like it never happened... weird. See Fig. A below for details.

I know what you mean what'sfootbag sometimes people have actually gotten mad at my friend when they thought he was like seriously yelling at me and stuff. The teacher yelled at him when he boo'd me after a presentation I gave, she didn't know that he was my partner...

safe, this has to be a contender for arbest topic of late... but here I am, posting a reply late afternoon.

I usually just say Bless, no you. It's not that I believe anything will come of it but it's just the way I was raised. I do automatically now without trying to be polite.

When I was young, just a bad little kid; my one friend and i used to sneeze on each other with our toungues rolled up so we could spray each other. Truely gross but I have since curbed my foolish ways.

Out of interest, I usually sneeze from my mouth. Most ppl sneeze from the nose and spray snot everywhere then frantically run for a kleenex. I've done that once but never since. Wierd? Oh well...

8) (try spray me now biatch!)

In Finland we say "terveydeksi" wich means something like "for health"...
well I don't usually say anything but if I see another coming I sometimes yell "gimme an other one! You can do it" and then he/she sneezes again... :?

I don't generally say anything, but I love sun sneezes. For some reason they just feel really good. :roll:

If I go out in the sun and sneeze, I'll look up in the general direction of the sun (not into it, duh) to get another one.

Yes, I'm weird.

yea, you know how you feel like you're going to lose a sneeze? when that happens, just look at any light source, it'll yank that sneeze right out


also did you know a sneeze is like 1/8 of an orgasm??

heres some sneeze reading

that made me laugh for a while.

And I also heard a sneeze is 1/8 of an orgasm, but I think it's like 1/8 the power of an orgasm. It seems impossible that if you sneeze 8 times in a row you'll have an orgasm.
