Do you say anything when someone around you sneezes? If so, what?

May the force be with you.
Response should be : And also with you.

Multiple sneezes - The force is strong with this one.

I actually lol'd. That's perfect.

I might have to start doing this ?

I had a person confront me after he sneezed. He was incensed that I didn't say "Bless You". He said, "Why didn't you say "bless you" when I sneezed ? I said, "Actually, I've never felt qualified to bless anyone ! " He shut up after that.

Bless You. But it's a habit. Most people don't take it the way it was meant to be anyway, it's just a societal norm.

Nothing at all..
I actually grew up in Caribbean where its common to say "excuse me" or "pardon me" after you've sneezed.

Gesundheit. German for wishing you good health. I took three years of German (it was on my bucket list) so it’s pretty much a habit, along with other curse words and random sayings. Ich liebe Deutsch!

Gesundheit

Slainte. "Health" in Gaelic.

"Hash hopper!" My great grandmother used to say it, much to our amusement. I've never gotten an answer as to what it means or where it comes from.

I still say bless you out of habit.

Either gesundheit or nothing.

Unfortunately, I say God Bless you despite not being religious. It was drilled into my head as a kid, and never knew what else to say growing up. And so my first reaction is god bless you despite gazoontite. Or however you spell it.

I say "çok ya?a". Which means "long live" in Turkish. But that is also translates as "god bless you" into English. But it is not, since "god bless you" is "tanr? seni kutsas?n" in Turkish. And this is not even used by religulous people 🙂

Kusuntite cosuntite kasuntite kosuntite these are all misspellings but something to this effect.
gusuntite gushuntite gesundheit There I found it.....helps when you have a librarian to help you. and everyone looks at me like I am bonkers.

gesundheit, basically it’s German for health; but I’m not German 🙂

I usually don't say anything. In my mind they had to Sneeze. That's the kind of life our bodies have to go through. It's normal. If anything is said that it comes from anyone else who decides to say something. If someone else says "God Bless You" Well? What Ever, just hope who says that means well. They just like to say things.

Although I am an atheist, I do still say "bless you", mostly out of reflex and because I was brought up that it was good manners. Old habits die hard, I suppose ?

I usually comment on how tiny or loud said sneeze was. Sometimes a bless you slips out from habit. Meh.

Bottom's up!
