Sneeze etiquete

I know what to do, say "bless you" or "gadzuntheit". The latter sounds like I might be swearing at them in German, so that should be fun to say, but somehow I never get one out there. Someone sneezes at work (including me) and someone other than me always throws down the bless you, and I sit there and go, "What? Oh yeah I guess that was a sneeze..." I just tune them out. I don't necessarily want people calling attention to the sounds my body makes, so why would I try to make verbal notice of theres.

I don't know what the problem is, maybe my parents forgot to ingrain this "bless you" rule into me, or perhaps were just too busy trying to get me to remember slightly more important life lessons.

Heh, I was raised in a very proper Southern way, manners-wise. I always say "bless you", "gesundheit", or "salud", and am just anal enough to expect everyone else to. LOL. I even go so far as to say "Um, bless me........" when I sneeze and my husband doesn't say anything. Although I really had to burn it into his brain when we got married, because he was never one for saying it, either. *shrug*

Of course, all of this coming from the same woman that thinks farting is hysterical, and can't keep a straight face....

Why yes, yes I do have double standards. Why do you ask? LOL
