Do you say something when people sneeze?

[Fluttershutter 2,120]

What do you say? Why do you say it? What do you think it accomplishes?

 

I don't say anything. I say let people deal with their bodily functions in peace.

Saying "bless you" or "gesundheit" is a phatic expression(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phatic_expression), something people say for no reason. They hear a sneeze and that just explodes out of their mouth practically like a sneeze itself. To me it's just super annoying especially when you have a sneezing fit and they have to say it after each sneeze.

I say nothing to them and life will go on.

Yes, I normally say Gesundheit

“Bless you”. If they go into a sneezing fit I’m only saying it the first time though lol.

'nice catch' (if they catch it).

I’ll say “bless you” to be polite but usually only if I’m talking to that person directly.

Not really, when you sneeze, you sneeze, no questions asked.

Sucks to be you

Just kidding. Either bless you or "salud" (what we say in Spanish)   .
