I always thought I was suggestible. Go on then, I am.
But this IoTD didn't make me yawn.

I'm a sympathetic sneezer though. I sneeze copiously anyway, thanks to my inherited photic response. But I also sneeze when reading/ writing/ thinking about sneezing, and sometimes other people's sneezing will trigger mine.

Not usually a problem. Given the quantity of my sneezes, I am able to keep the quality down to "fairly tame". Except. Except. The Doctor I saw at the Dental Institute last week told me I shouldn't blow my nose or jump about too much (has she been spying on me dancing to Shake It Off?) as it will prevent the three broken/ cracked bones in my face from healing cleanly. I asked whether sneezing may also be a factor and she looked at me as if I was mad. Well, she had a point there as I am still living in the nuthouse.

"I don't think you have to worry about that" she said. Patronisingly.
Sorry love, I don't care how long you went to school, it was a valid question. But as you asked whether my facial injuries were caused in my flat, when I'd already said I face-planted in a FOREST, I guess you're not really bothering to listen. It did give me the opportunity to say "No it was a forest. It was outside."

Given she was wearing a hijab, am I allowed to call her cloth-ears?
