I'm offended when someone says "BLESH YOU" - not knowing what the actual statement is.

Absolutely not BUT I do get offended when this one woman at work says NOTHING when I sneeze! Nothing at all. I think that is so rude.

I like it when people say it, but I don't get offended if they forget.

Reminds me of that movie Singles.

Does everyone know the story how "Bless You" started? It's quite silly.

Exactly.

No, I don't get offended - nor do I get offended if someone doesn't say it.

Actually, since I am a succession-sneezer I sometimes get annoyed that I have to say Thank You a half dozen times between sneezes. I honestly wish the whole "bless you" thing would just stop - it's really rather silly.

No. And I actually never hear it from my family. Their religion doesn't allow this to be said...for the "silliness" of its origin.
