I was walking thru wal mart the other day and I sneezed and some total stranger says "Bless you!" Wtf?
Why is it that when someone sneezes people need feel the need to say this even to total strangers? I said thanks and kept walking. I guess people want to be nice I dunno.
I will admit I do it. I am overboard with politeness in public. It is because I DEMAND it in return. I know it not good. Or fair to the other person. It's how I cope with some bad anxiety issues. I wouldn't necessarily car about " bless you" after a sneeze but I will say something if people don't say excuse me when brushing by or thank you when I hold the door. I am borderline agoraphobic and it manifests as rage.
Its dangerous for me and others. It sucks...
I know it's more than you asked and possibly oversharing just explaining a little.
The worst part is these windy pollen filled days -you might need to sneeze 5 times straight. Its annopying when some stranger is standing there screaming "Bless You!" five times LOL
What is it about this custom that makes people want to say that to people they dont know? I have probably done it myself . Is it some kind of superstition?

I had heard that your heart stops when you sneeze. and that is why people bless you the force of the sneeze isso great that if you kept your eyes open they would pop out. So those are a few things I have heard over the years. Something about Satan too, lol. I say it because it is one of those learned behaviors/manners I was taught as a kid andits a habit now. Fuzo tells people..."COVER YOUR MOUTH/NOSE" lmao
I was always told it's because sneezing is the closest thing you come to death since your heart stops. Your soul temporarily leaves your body, so people say bless you to prevent anything evil from entering until it returns.
