Don't you hate it when they don't cover their mouth?.





A co-workers sneezed and I said cheers.

He gave me a dirty look.
 
Yes, I grew up saying that. I think it stems from an old religious belief that when you sneeze you're expelling evil spirits, so that's why we say 'bless you'.

and yes, it is gross when people let the germs go everywhere!

Could have been a subtle proposition on his part.
 
I cover my food because they can't control where the snot is going!
 
Your heart skips a beat when you sneeze just like those that have apnea and say bless you in case you die.

Did you just make that up? :biggrin2:
 
Nope! I was told that as a youngster. I could be wrong but it does make sense.
 
What ever happened to "Thank you" after you tell them "Bless you".

I don't hear it as often anymore.
 
I'm going to start saying, "You disgusting pig, keep your germs away from me!"
 
Keep Kleenex in your pocket and offer to those who sneeze publicly. I used to carry kleenex, bandaids, cookies, etc. in my purse all the time when my kids were little and often gave them away to total strangers when needed.

Would you like a cookie HOF?

I don't say it and if it's somebody I know I usually say "oh oh, sounds like you're coming down with something...stay away from me" .
