Question

What do you say?

At my work, I started saying "good luck" when someone sneezes. I'm happy that its caught on! I have no problem saying "bless you" or "gesundheit" (I'm half German after all,) but am wondering what other people say, if anything, (which I sometimes say nothing.)

41 votes Gesundheit
3 votes Gross!
37 votes nothing

Answer 1

I think saying bless you is a quoculism and I spent my life saying it. I don't see it as a religious statement

Answer 2

When I sneeze I usually follow up with " die you damn fool!". I've never said it to someone else. Not sure about that.

Answer 3

If asked I simply say that I am not qualified to bless anyone.

Answer 4

Salute! Italian for good health.

Answer 5

I don't say anything when someone coughs or hiccups or passes gas, although I often give a dirty look, so it's never made sense to me to say anything when someone sneezes.

Answer 6

Demons Begone! He he....

Answer 7

or a varaiation of gesundheit, such as gusundiheight, or any other way to mis pronounce the word

Answer 8

I say "bless you and all the people you blew away!"

Answer 9

5 in a row gets you a paid day off!

Answer 10

Answer 11

I tend to say nothing.

Answer 12

The obvious answer is "You are soooo good looking."

Answer 13

If they sneeze multiple times, I’ll say “that’s enough!”

Answer 14

Goes-in-tight

Answer 15

I believe its a cultural norm rather than a religious “blessing”.

Answer 16

Gesundheit most often. Occasionally "May the Force be with you."

Answer 17

I usually say "bless you" - but completely out of habit. I have been trying to correct myself into saying "Sagan be with you" (as in Carl Sagan) just to counter the religious-ness(?) of 'bless'

Answer 18

"Are you going to eat that?"
