'Bless you' etiquette

MissBass [Edit] [Delete] 09:31, 24 March '11

after you sneeze

I usually say 'excuse me' if i sneeze but i refuse to say 'Bless You' to someone if they sneeze.

Example: In my office they dont say 'bless you' to me when i sneeze but they do to everyone else. Is this because i dont say it to them? Just noticed this over the past couple of weeks.

Do you notice these things? what do you say if you sneeze? what do you say to someone if they sneeze? Huh?

There seems to be a few stories as to why people do this. I think i dont say 'bless you' because i assumed it was relgious and im not very religious at all.

ramble ramble ramble.. now you go
