I prefer-
You are sooooo good lookin'
...after a sneeze, I get irritated. But I don't want to be a so I acknowledge it.
But haven't we learned that the soul is not trying to escape the body during a sneeze, therefore rendering "Bless you" absolutely pointless?
(I don't believe in a "soul" either, but that's got nothing to do with this issue)

Just say it. It doesn't mean anything.
I remember a hard-core atheist from college, who made it a point not to say "bless you" or "goodbye" because they were derived from theistic sayings. I thought he was being a bit silly.
We would say that every time someone would sneeze at my old job. Thanks for the laugh.
Just say Gazoon e.
Way to misspell the word. LMAO
Yeah, but you know what she meant, right?
I always say it, not to make sure the person's soul doesn't leave them but just to be polite. When you say it to a stranger, it's like saying, "You're not invisible just because I don't know you." When I sneeze around a group of people I don't know, I always appreciate when someone says it.
we have some weird sneezing etiquettes at work. the women on either side of me are different. i usually say Bless You when either of them sneezes. one says Thank You, and the other one says it only sometimes. I pretty much stopped saying Bless You to her, but to the other one I still say it. haha.. i guess I just go by what I feel from the person.
I say bless you all the time, it has nothing to do with thinking about your soul....just being polite.
I love saying it to folks, in a store. Especialy in a dressing room, where they can't see you
Wow!
I'm always complaining about this! It's good to know I'm not alone
I mean, when I'm in the middle of a few sneezes I really just want to be left the fk alone, I'm not interested in exchanging polite, illogical niceties.
Stalk a hot ass girl, wait until she sneezes, say bless you, get her number.
Be incon ous about it though. If done right this should lead to sex.
Doesn't that depend on a dry versus wet sneeze, thoughWow!

It's God Bless You.
A lot of people I know like to blurt out "YOU GO NOWHERE WHEN YOU DIE!" when someone sneezes.
May God Bless That Sneez Please
Krishna bless you.
Or, Vishnu bless you.
I go with those.
It sounds like you have bigger problems than just allergies.
I don't understand why we say "bless you" when somebody sneezes and blows loogies all over the room, yet a cougher gets nothing and actually may feel required to say "excuse me" when coughing up a lung.
people don't make sense.
You're right. It's not logical. We're not logical beings.
I guarantee you that the one who says, "I live life by what is logical 100% of the time," will change his tune when someone he loves is in danger. What does this have to do with sneezes? Not much -- except we're fooling ourselves if we say or don't say "bless you" on the basis of its logic.

But, can you see them???
Yes, a sneeze is so painful, I can understand why you want to be left alone.Wow!

Wha? Who said anything about pain? Hey if you prefer getting a little attention here and there, knock yourself out......I understand.Yes, a sneeze is so painful, I can understand why you want to be left alone.
wow people are so anal that a simple bless you gets them riled up. For now on I'm going out of my way and saying bless you to everyone.
"Bless you" is too concise and impersonal. I prefer to quote Numbers 24-26.
