When people say “bless you” after you sneeze. You then have to acknowledge the bless you and give a needless thanks, usually while trying to clean yourself up
Stop it

Stop it
if they don’t say bless u ur soul escapes forever and u have no soul
I thought it was coz sneezing meant the devil had got into you
at some point in my life I got it in my head that if you say thank you or acknowledge the person saying bless you, the blessing doesn’t work
Nah, it’s just a pleasant and polite thing to do. No problem with it at all.
think it’s both? you sneeze, your soul escapes, and then the devil can come in?
I endorse this thread. And as a hayfever sufferer this can be a LIVING HELL.
Just sneezed after reading this thread FYI.
It’s incredibly rude to say thank you after a bless you
TIL
Its not pleasant, its an invasion
Bless you
Thank you
yes! - but why?
Not sure
My former flatmate always used to say “bless me” to himself after he sneezed. He hardly believed me at all when I said that’s not the standard thing.
If you burp when you’re on your own do you say excuse me?!
Cos I do
Yes, of course.
wish people would just stop the whole bless you thing. i’m a 27 year old who regular gets hayfever, i can cope with a sneeze without your blessings thanks.
