Response to sneezing

from the thumbnail I thought this was everett true getting mad about sneezes

My favorite responses are "cut it out" and "out, foul demon!"

I wish people wouldn't. I don't. I think a polite "excuse me" is fine after sneezing, I don't want to be blessed.

Why do people do this? I've never understood.

If somebody sneezes more than twice, I will typically berate them for seeking attention.

Some of my favorites

Amharic - ይማርህ - May God forgive you

Makes it sound like sneezing is seen as a punishment

Kyrgyz - Ак чүч! - This may be based on an onomatopœia of the sound of a sneeze, like the English "Atchoo."

This is basically what my autistic son does, so it made me laugh

No explanation needed for these last two

Serbian - Pis Maco - Go away kitten

Silesian - Pyrsk! - Cheers

It's okay, I don't take it personally. It's just such an odd thing.
