Spin-off to "Manners" post

when someone sneezes, do you say "bless you"? (or some variation of that)

I just started a new position within my company and NO ONE around me says bless you! I don't know why, but this bothers me!

for me, it's an automatic reflex - like breathing. if someone sneezes, I always say bless you.

I say bless you to every single person who I can hear that sneezes. Sometimes, its a little out of control but I do it!

However, someone doesnt always reciprocate.

Sometiems I do, sometimes I don't. I find I do it less and less. It really doesn't mean anything.

I think it has something to do with back before modern medicine, when people though sneezing was a sign of serious illness that could lead to death.

I even say it to people who sit across the room in other departments. My co-workers laugh at me b/c it's so automatic.....

I say it unless the person sneezes like 5 times in a row, then I think I would sound more annoying than them - so I only say it once then! Chat Icon
