I always wonder if "bless you" are the right words to say to an individual who sneezes around you. I don't know if it's a Nigerian thing or it's universal. Most of the time, i just keep quiet rather than say "bless you" because i'm not comfortable using those words. I don't know if i'm the only one who thinks those words are not really suitable for that situation. Please, does anyone think like me?? Which word(s) do you consider more appropriate?? |

Sorry( if the person is courteous enough to sneeze into his handkerchief or away from me) cover your mouth/no gimme cough  if it's those people that loves to sneeze on someones face. |
