Light-hearted trivia but do you relate? Sneezing.....

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Anyone else get mildly irritated when people say "Bless you!" after you sneeze?

For me, it's "Great! Not only was I interrupted by having to sneeze, now you've added the obligation to say 'Thank you' to my troubles!". Also, can we drop the ritualised superstition given that the year starts with a 20?

    I have no problem with it. It's a harmless gesture, that I don't really care about.

    I do however have a problem with people who sneeze, and cough, without covering their noses and mouths. I was on a bus once and someone coughed, and their phlegm hit me in the back of the neck. I didn't take it too well. I'll just leave it there.
