Sneeze! Bless You...

This reminds me of when my late grandmother went on a rant about how she hates when people say, "Have a nice day" to her. "What if I don't want to have a nice day?" she said.

People actively look for things to be annoyed by, sometimes.

i always say, "i'm blessed", and people just look at me weird.
though non-religious, i do feel blessed.

I say it, too. It's just polite. Yeesh, it seems it's becoming "cool" to be a rude asshole.

Next thing you know, holding the door open will offend somone.

My only problem with it is in the mornings I tend to sneeze over and over and over again, part of "the morning coughs and sneezes", and it can get annoying to hear "bless you" 50 times in the first hour you're awake.

Bless you.

In fact, God bless you!

And I'm going to crank it up another notch:
May the Judeo-Christian God bless you!

Que?

Smoke a pack (or more) a day for 8 years with asthma and bad allergies, it'll do it to ya.

I used to always say it but I work with a bunch of rude assholes that wouldn't say "thank you" and never said "God bless you" so I stopped saying it!

I always say bless you, even when it is a complete stranger that sneezes. And yes, I think it is kinda rude if you don't say it.

SteveNeurotic will say bless you when you burp!

I don't say it most of the time.
Nor do I like having to excuse myself after burping, though I will in some circumstances.
