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.)

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I just say bless you. No God included or needed. Satisfies both people's views I guess. Just like with the thread on saying grace at dinner. I'm willing to go along with the idiocy because I'm secure enough in my view on the subject while pleasing those around me. If it gives them comfort then so be it. It would be different if it's something more extreme, but I don't see the need to cause conflict with such trivial things.

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

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