Sneezing

[mrzippo3]

Why does it feel so good?

I hate when people say "God bless you," cause I don't like feeling that I have to say something when they sneeze.

Thoughts?

[Chancetobe]

You enjoy sneezing? Alrighty then.


Also, what bothers me is that you say nothing when someone coughs. It feels like you should.

[bigblue2015]

Because sneezes come out at 200 mph and that's some violent shit right there.

[robat19]

I enjoy yawning more than sneezing.

[NEP633]

sneezing rules. I don't say god bless you when someone sneezes and i hate when people say it to me.

[mrzippo3]

sneezing rules. I don't say god bless you when someone sneezes and i hate when people say it to me.
Glad I'm not alone on this. It's so old fashioned and out dated. Why should I feel obligated to say something when another person has a bodily function? They should be the one saying "excuse me" or something for sneezing in my presence.

Kind of related to this, but sometimes I can't tell if someone is coughing or sneezing and I don't know what to say. Like once, someone coughed and it sounded quite sneeze-like, so I said "bless you" and they got all defensive on me and said "actually, that was a cough not a sneeze" in a very condescending way, which was pretty rude. I mean, if I bless a total stranger they should at least appreciate the gesture. So now every time it sounds like someone sneezes, I'm still not sure from the previous experience, so I say nothing and then I feel like a jerk.

I just say excuse me when I sneeze :shrug:

[denissuxx]

In the UK, 'bless you' is standard.

[The Pharmacist]

i prefer saying gazuntite b/c you never know if a person believe in a divine power or not. i mean if they worship the devil they may try to like eat you for saying god bless you

[MattRM]

I hate people who sneeze quietly. There's this girl in one of my classes that makes a sound no louder than a whisper when she sneezes, it's crazy.

[Heart-A-Tact]

Sneezing has always annoyed me. I hate it when it builds up, but then it doesn't happen. That's the worst. "Bless you" is also annoying.

[MattRM]

Yeah, not being able to sneeze is the worst, because you look like such a dumbass sucking in a bunch of air and preparing yourself and then trying to pretend like nothing happened when you can't sneeze.

[Heart-A-Tact]

Ha, seriously. Can't stand it.

There's a girl in one of my classes who always takes in a huge breath like she's going to have the biggest sneeze ever, and then it's this tiny, squeaky little noise. So annoying. But I also hate it when people blow their noses really loudly in front of me.

[LamarVannoy]

i've never understood why someone deserves to be blessed because they sneeze. it makes no sense to me so i never say it and i dont like when people say it to me.
i love how Milhouse on the simpsons explains it though. 'when you sneeze, its your soul trying to escape but saying 'bless you' crams it back in.'

[insideabox]

feels good man

[TMartin442]

I feel very relieved after the sneeze, but the process of the sneeze is rather uncomfortable. Sometimes when I have a quick double sneeze attack I sometimes think of how terrible it would be if I just kept uncontrollable sneezing to such an extreme extent that I never had the chance to even catch my breath, and then I usually wonder if it is possible to sneeze yourself to death and I realize that sneezing myself to death would be a terrible way to go out. It would be very uncomfortable and rather embarrassing. So I make it a point to bless someone when they sneeze, and I really appreciate it when people blesses me when I sneeze, but I dont expect them too.

[PezMullet]

in french we say: ''À tes souhaits'' which means: ''As you wish''

[-whisp-]

I say bless you just because it's been racked into my brain since I was a kid.. even though I don't necessarily like the saying, I feel weird not saying something to the person who is sneezing. It's purely out of habit

[stayforawhile]

I love sneezing, except in school.

[-whisp-]

in french we say: ''À tes souhaits'' which means: ''As you wish''

yea there is also 'à vos souhaits', to your desires and in short one can also say 'Santé' which means health.

[Kassie09]

Your supposed to say bless you cause your heart stops for a second when you sneeze!

[coreysetfail]

Your supposed to say bless you cause your heart stops for a second when you sneeze!

was just about to say this. yeah, that's where the "god bless you" came from.

[MattRM]

Your heart doesn't really stop when you sneeze, that's just a myth...

[Kassie09]

holy fuck, i used the wrong form of 'you're' i can shoot myself now.

[Kassie09]

Your heart doesn't really stop when you sneeze, that's just a myth...

My teacher told me it did! Public school, bringing the lols

[t wreckz]

It's because back in the day it was believed that a sneeze was a bad spirit trying to escape

[about3fitty]

hahaha i was going to say that same thing about milhouse

[samsara]

People freak out because I sneeze with my eyes open and I sneeze like 8 times in a row.

[phil19]

i get these kickass sneezing fits. i dont like them. i'll sneeze like 15 times in a row. it kind of hurts after a while.
ive also noticed that i get them everytime after ive been playing sport or exercising

[kaycey]

^this.

That'd be sucktown.

I never, ever sneeze just once. It has to be twice with both packing quite the saliva speed punch.

[Gumbyjag]

sneezing is a huge part of my life. i do it everyday, i have low tolerance with allergens, animal dander, and plants. drives me crazy, i hate the actual sneeze itself but afterwards i feel better. it gets things out of my system, and i like to use sneezing as an icebreaker. people seem to be really concerned when i sneeze, probably because mine is very dramatic and loud. it can keep going for a while too.

[phil19]

i remember the first time my gf sneezed. it was the most piss weak excuse for a sneeze. i laughed

[bung]

I know this kid who when he sneezes he does it at least six or seven times. Sometimes up to like fifteen. It's fucking comedic gold.

im exactly the same. its not as funny as you might think :-(

Hahaha, my highest is like four, but you have my sympathy.

[phil19]

Hahaha, my highest is like four, but you have my sympathy.

a high of four is nothing to sneeze at.

i know its bad, i couldnt resist

[Fallinto_rhythm]

Sneezing does feeeeeel great

[raychull]

if you sneezed like I do, you absolutely would not be saying this.

[air?ick!]

yea sneezing is a beautiful thing, especially when you hold it in for a while and then you finally let it out haha.
and i totally agree on the "god bless you" issue. i never say it to people and i dont say anything when its said to me. i think its freakin stupid.

[framebyframe]

I love when people say "bless you" to me. It makes me feel special :stickout:

[.invisible ink.]

I hate people who sneeze quietly. There's this girl in one of my classes that makes a sound no louder than a whisper when she sneezes, it's crazy.

why do you hate that? That's how I sneeze. I'd rather be quiet and cute about it than sound like some gross freakshow who obviously needs attention since it's not hard to sneeze and not make a scene. Loud sneezes make me cringe.

Because for some of us, it actually is very hard to sneeze without making a scene... trust me, if I was able to sneeze no louder than a mouse, I would, but unfortunately, that's not going to happen.

[xkAyrAzyx]

I saw this kid sneeze the most unexpected, loud sneeze I've ever heard. Then he gave his friend a high five.
It was aweful to watch and scared the holy cats out of me.

[.invisible ink.]

yeah, i guess that makes sense. My quiet sneezing is an obvious reaction to the horrible way my mom sneezes. it totally grosses me out!

[TheSkyline]

It depends, a sneeze when you're not sick is awesome, but when you're sick and it's really strong, it hurts my throat really bad.
I don't mind the "bless you" thing. Maybe because I like the attention? :shrug: haha

EDIT: What I really fucking hate is when girls to that fake little "petite" sneeze to cover it up. I know for a fact that's not how you sneeze. It doesn't make it any more attractive and sounds stupid.

Like the squeaky mouse sneezes or when they go "achoo oh my"

[Duexy]

i hate sneezing because its impossible for me to simply sneeze once. when i sneeze its usually in a fit of no less than fifteen to twenty over the span of two minutes. i've broken blood vessels in my eye and sneezed up blood (didn't know it was possible) on multiple occassions. my nose is constantly raw during the end of winter/early spring.

fuck that.

Look at a bright light. Works every time.

[mynameisX]

I hate it when it builds up, but sneezing always feels pretty darn good, unless it's the kind of sneeze that grates the back of your airway. That sucks.

shit man. i thought i had it bad.
thats fucked

[Renee]

I enjoy a sneeze as long as there's nothing in my nose. The only nose related noise that bothers me is when people suck the snot back up every 30 seconds.

[OldJersey]

I just sneezed while reading this last page of this thread

[llwilliamsll]

Sneezing when you have a sinus cold sucks
Other than that, it's awesome. I like to sneeze really loud so everyone knows I'm sneezing.
I don't say god bless you to people, but really don't care if they say it to me.

[SanePsychotic]

Whenever I sneeze I have to sneeze three times in a row. Don't know why, but it's always been that way. :shrug:

you feel like relieved, right?
I feel the same that's why i always pretend like
I didn't hear it.

[Michifoxx]

this is lame.

[mrzippo3]

this is lame.
this is lame.

[liarsturnmeon]

fun fact: sneezing is the second-most satisfying bodily experience for humans.

[Heart-A-Tact]

Oh, hey Mandi. Also, I sneezed 5 times in a row today. It felt awful.

[bv_princess1]

i like sneezing really loud when its quiet and i like when its quiet and someone sneezes during like a test or something and every1 pops up saying bless you. i hate when people sneeze and bugers come out :-d

[vicki_van]

someone once told me that every time you sneeze, you have 1/10th of an orgasm.

Isn't sneezing suppose to be the closest the body can get to death without dying? A teacher told me that...so here's my theory: Someone sneezed, people realized death may be afoot, and someone desided saying "bless you" would be appropriate. Maybe?

thanks? I guess that's somewhat similar :/

[nickstetina]

If I'm indoors for a while and go outside and get hit with sunshine I sneeze. Like, if I feel it coming, I can just look at the sun and BOOM. Sneeze.

I do that too. I really like sneezing, so thats a good thing. And I always sneeze twice for some reason.

[heyhey1212]

I get annoyed when I sneeze, sometimes I bless, sometimes I don't..I do out of habit though

[hellogorgeous]

probably because a sneeze is 1/10th of an orgasm.

Hahahaha THIS! I'm always hoping I don't accidentally run a red while I'm sneezing... what a lame ass excuse to give in case I get pulled over.

[Kaleidoscope]

[TotalCollapse]

I've been sneezing all day. I think it's the pollen.
