Guy at work does the most massive, theatrical sneezes several times a day, he seems to expect someone to say "Bless You", I dont as I am not religious and am not ordained anyway.
What is the point of it, doesn't it come from Plague days ? I was told its just courtesy to say it, why, you sneeze, big deal, why do I need to acknowledge it other than my rising lack of tolerance to the bloody racket of it, and subsequent noisy snorting into a hanky, a proper, old school hanky that gets washed, whats that about, why not just use a piece of bog roll or tissues ?
There is another one in here that goes "ATTTTCHOO" as he sneezes as well, similar volume but with additional vocalisation, its like a Fast Show Sketch sometimes.
Why dont we bless coughs, farts or burps, why is it just just sneezes ? will he expire from hayfever if we dont bless him ? how long do our blessings protect, surely blessings would be better for cancer or heart problems ?
Is it just utter b
ks ?

Wow, I never know being religious and ordained were a requirement of saying "bless you" when someone sneezes. ks it is, I am not qualified to bless !It is utterly pointless, its just I feel like they dont like it when they don't get blessed, its like saying "Oh you sneezed, poor you, I must acknowledge it as an act of solidarity".
