Wow, i agree with this whole-heartedly. Its ridiculous. *sneeze* bless you, thanks. Why are you thanking me for saying that? Why dont we say something when people cough? sneezing is natural reaction, why say a phrase to negate it as if its an inconvenience? There's this lady at my work who sneezes atleast 10 times a day. i told her im no longer saying bless you. She gets upset.

It turns my stomach when I hear everyone in the office say it, and it's just not fair that one is considered rude if one doesn't join in the insanity. "Gesundheit" makes some sense, but not enough to say if one doesn't know why one is saying it. Yet another case of politeness superseding meaningfulness. |

Another option, in public places for men and women is to offer 8 oz. size dixie cups to pee in, and then you pour the cup into the toilet or urinal and dispose of the cup. This is especially important for the famous "first morning pee" which can sometimes be "out of control". |
