Well, hayfever season is upon us, I'm spending a fair amount of time sneezing.

Unfortunately my sneezes are quite loud. When I'm having a few of them in a row, I ocassionally like to add a comedy element to them 'Achooo hoohoohooooo!' (think of the cayote from roadrunner, falling off a cliff!) ... yeah, I'm sad.

My question is: What type of sneezer are you?

loud


i scare people in restaurants or out in public

I string together like 14 sneezes, each one spaced 2 seconds apart lol ...by sneeze #10 I'm adding profanities to my "achoos"

always in sets of three and depending on public of private it's either tss-tss-tss or WAAAH-CHOOOO - WAAAH-CHOOOO - WAAAH-CHOOOO!!

not because of allergies, mostly because of bright sunlight...

Everytime I wake up, I'd sneeze 5-10 times in a row, then loud blowing, then nose is stuffed up for awhile. Mine tends to sound like a cough to some, so either I'm asked whether I sneezed or cough, or get a bless you and whatnot, or nothing at all because the assumption is that it was a cough.

I sound like James Brown caterwauling, when I sneeze. Think Prince's "BABY!!!" during "When Doves Cry," right before the ooo-ooo-ooohs.

I usually sneeze bout 2 times a day, and I don't hold them in. I tend to think that much pressure coming out of you shouldn't be bottled up. I mean I obviously cover my mouth with my hand or a napkin. I'm not rude.

my mum always sneezes in lots of 4...u can take it to the bank

I always close my eyes when I sneeze, scares the crap outta me when I am driving!

I hate the masters sneezes, he says a-CHAAAA! and it is SOOO loud and spray-ee

Quiet sneezer. choo is all you get from me. When i was in school there was this girl in one of my classes,when she sneezed she sounded like a damn machine gun. Tu Tu Tu

My husband does these kind of sneezes - it really pisses me off. Must be a bloke thing. A woman wouldn't do that!

florescent said:

It's my fault though, he used to kind of hold them in, and all his veins would bulge in his neck and forehead, so I said "let them out!!!" and now he swung to the opposite extreme and if I complain he will remind me it was me who told him

ZombieKitten said:

Did anything eventually happen when he held them in? I mean did the sneeze appear? Did they just go? I have visions of eyes popping out!

florescent said:

he held his mouth shut and squeezed his nose, like when you try and stop one, but it just puffed out his cheek and popped his veins. Probably made his eyes all bloodshot also

ZombieKitten said:

Then just let it out. I think that while chicks think its cute or polite with the lil choo while their face is makin all sorts of strange looking weirdness makes them almost sissified. Dammit just sneeze already. Its like farting and burping everyone does it. Own it.

just don't go a-CHAAAAA!!!! the loudest thing in the street

I hate it when people sneeze and make no effort to cover their mouths or even turn away. grrrr....

I sneeze very loudly, usually several times a day. My coworkers have resigned to only saying "bless you" once a day, or they could be saying it all day long. Once you get to know me, my sneeze is recognizable up to about half a mile away.
I also plug my nose when I sneeze (and cover my mouth with the rest of my hand) so that nothing gross flies out. I know you're probably not supposed to do that, but it's a habit I can't break. And when I conscisouly don't do it, stuff flies EVERYwhere, even with a tissue. So there's no going back on that one.

i SQUEAK.. and lots of people say its cute.,.

This I gotta hear

I don't get the whole "bless you" thing... I always feel obliged to say "thank you"... but I don't get what the heck I'm thanking for...

coolcat said:

because that person prevented evil spirits from flying in to your open mouth!

ZombieKitten said:

So the person saying bless you really believes that??

coolcat said:

you asked!!! that is how it came about traditionally, the blessing and the thanking - just polite habit now, I guess
gesundheit is probably more useful, wishing somebody health

ZombieKitten said:

I always say gesundheit, being an atheist and all.

ZombieKitten said:

yeah I was being a bit cheeky. sorry.

It just feels like a weird little formality to me. It would be like if you cough, then you've got to do a little song and dance.

coolcat said:

it's like when you fart or burp you say "pardon me!"
you don't REALLY expect a pardon from the king or anything

ZombieKitten said:

hehe... I never say pardon me... that would mean admitting my crime!
