When do we normally say “bless you” to another person?
Either when we’re feeling holy…or when someone sneezes.
At first I wanted to put some scientific explanation about sneezing here, but after checking out Wikipedia about it, let’s just say it’s an explosion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth. It’s also a great way to spread diseases.
Sneezing is a natural thing, but sneezing loudly is not.
Everyone has experienced people who sneezes like it’s a shouting competition. And to make it worse, they don’t close their mouth. (Bad news: If you’ve not, it’s probably you)
The reason I brought it up is because just the other day, I experienced the same thing. What made it worst was that we were in an elevator. Can’t escape and the germs will all be trapped…with us in there. And I felt that person’s saliva on my face…
It’s shocking and disgusting at the same time. Because out of nowhere, they’d burst out with germs all coming out at the same time. Even if you don’t get sick, you’d die of heart-attack.
Isn’t it embarrassing for that person? I’ve seen it happen in malls as well. Malls has a lot of people, so it’s normally clamorous. But that one person can sneeze so, so loud, it catches everyone’s attention in the mall. And then they’d act like nothing happened. Like a boss.
I know sneezing is a sudden thing, but in that split second, you can feel it coming for sure. That’s your que to either close your mouth (with your hands…and then wipe it on someone’s face) or turn away.
Actually, sneezing loudly would be the worst thing to do in public toilets.
They’d shock everyone and pee will be flying everywhere! (Then you can see everyone’s junk. Or ke-diong-diong. Or Willy Wonka’s)
I for one choose to sneeze like a pussy.
No really, I’ve mastered the arts of sneezing without sound, with your mouth closed. It’s like keeping everything back in. Makes you feel like you’re having an explosion in you. Probably not the best thing for yourself, but you help make toilets a much more comfortable place to pee.
And by the way, saying “excuse me” after you gave everyone diseases and a cardiac arrest doesn’t make a difference.
AND IF YOU’RE ASIAN,
BAM!
