When People Sneeze...
 

do you say...

"Heres a tissue you got snot all over your face"

It depends who it is. I say different things for different people. There's no specific significance to it for me, but I always say bless you when my kids sneeze. Sometimes I add 'and may all your children have webbed feet' to the end.

cockblessyou

I may say "filthy bastard", or if in a car, just wipe the windscreen in front of them.

ahhhshit

FA-Q II

I bless each microbe expelled from the person's nostrils.

Separately?

Yes, I'm extremely thorough.

I ask: "Could you repeat your question?"

It's surprising how many people respond with: "No, I was just sneezing." (as though they were used to being asked to repeat what they've just said).

"There she blows!"

I am not fit for polite society. :(

I'm afraid I say "Bleshu" - though I don't always mean it.

I'll say "gesundheit", but it's not all that often I'll acknowledge someone's sneeze. Violent expulsions of air from any other orifice, however, may merit a dirty look as I hastily retreat from the area.:whofart:

If it's someone I know, I usually say "bless you." If it's a stranger out in public, I don't acknowledge it, but I try to put some distance between them and me. Once in a while, I say "gesundheit" followed by "schönheit" if they sneeze a second time.

Usually "bless you". It's a knee-jerk reaction. Although my daughter thinks it's so funny to hear me say "Blessyou!" that she'll fake sneeze just to get me to say it :)
