 Spin-off to "Manners" post 
when someone sneezes, do you say "bless you"? (or some variation of that)
  I just started a new position within my company and NO ONE around me says bless you! I don't know why, but this bothers me! 
  for me, it's an automatic reflex - like breathing. if someone sneezes, I always say bless you.

 Re: Spin-off to "Manners" post 
I say bless you to every single person who I can hear that sneezes. Sometimes, its a little out of control but I do it!
  However, someone doesnt always reciprocate.

Sometiems I do, sometimes I don't. I find I do it less and less. It really doesn't mean anything.

 Re: Spin-off to "Manners" post 
I think it has something to do with back before modern medicine, when people though sneezing was a sign of serious illness that could lead to death.

I even say it to people who sit across the room in other departments. My co-workers laugh at me b/c it's so automatic.....

 Re: Spin-off to "Manners" post 
I sometimes don't say it if my step-daughter sneezes (she's 10)....then if DH and I are sitting there, she will say, "aren't you supposed to say something"

  I always do, I hate when others dont. If no one says it to me, I just say it to myself.        you know, I do that as well, occasionally. "God bless me"   
  DH doesn't always say it, and I always "yell" at him when he forgets!

 Re: Spin-off to "Manners" post 
I say it unless the person sneezes like 5 times in a row, then I think I would sound more annoying than them - so I only say it once then!

  somthing to the fact of evil and you bless the person, i forgot the whole thing
  as for saying it i say it to everyone except those who i know your not supposed too but sometimes i slip because it is so natural.... my mom  on the other hand     we have just gotten to the point of saying my mom is a , and she sneezes about 10 times. i think her record is 15          there is only so much blessing you can do for one person!
