I've switched to saying bless you when someone farts.

I've successfully switched to Gesundheit.

You slimed me!

Bless you. It is habit, and l am fine with that. I am blessing them. I am not asking God to bless them.

Sometimes I won't say anything
Sometimes I will say "Bless you"
Sometimes I will attempt to perform an Exorcism, screaming "Demon begone!!!"
It really just depends on the situation...

"Bless you" actually originated during the days of the plague. Since sneezing was a sign of infection, "Bless you" was a response acknowledging that the person sneezing would soon be dead. It was seen almost as a curse. Knowing the history of the phrase, there are some people I will say it to.

Generally I stick with, "Gesundheit!"

I generally get chuckles when I say “god isn’t real” after someone “blesses” me. I treat a sneeze like every other bodily function, I say nothing. It’s your blow out, so it’s on you to say something or not.

I say bless you. Just like with free will and morals, I'm not going to let religion try to absorb it and call it its own.

I say excuse u. Or something I don't say bless u.

When some one says it to me I appreciate the sentiment while ignoring phraseology.
When some one else sneezes I usually say Gesundheit (German for good health)

I've been saying salute...meaning to health...

I don't say anything. I think it's weird that we reply to a sneeze, but not a cough, burp, fart etc. When I sneeze in a way that might be disruptive to others, I say "excuse me". This is my personal mission. I wish to change the world in this small way.

I still say bless you, I'm just used to saying it

i say "bless you" and then i add "these are my OWN blessings, and i have a limited number, so you only get two. if you sneeze a third time you're on your own." the original practice came from the time of the plague (one of the times of one of the plagues) since sneezing was an early symptom and people got all scared for (and of) you if you snoze.

It’s annoyingly reflexive for me. I still catch myself saying “bless you” but I did make a concentrated effort to stop. I usually say it anyway now because it’s so reflexive. It doesn’t bother me but some people have asked why I chuckle after I say “bless you” and I can’t bring myself to say why.

I don't say bless you anymore. I feel like an ass sometimes because of it but oh well.

I say bless you. I do Christmas. None of it's real, but a charming social convention nonetheless.

I steal a line from Seinfeld.... I just say, "You are Soooo good looking!"

Still say 'bless you.' I think about it when I do, but I just can't care enough to say something else.

Hell, at work I've replaced 'goddammit' with 'God bless america'. Just works without getting me shamed. ?‍

Or tell them to point that nasty mucous spray away from me, barbarian.

One time I said bless you to my coworker when he sneezed, so he told me who's gonna bless me , you're the atheist ?!!
