I feel like people do their best not to sneeze (or hide it) in an office to avoid the awkwardness of the "bless you's".#

Because it can be weirdly awkward (at least in my opinion).#

No one's sure if they should be the one to say "bless you", so sometimes no one does.#

Sometimes multiple people say it.#

Sometimes everyone pretends to ignore it.#

Sometimes people seem slightly disgusted (especially in certain sunlit lighting when you can see a salivary spray of mist).#

Then when the person sneezes more than once there's a whole new world.#

If it was just five seconds prior, are they still protected by the first "bless you".#

If it's two basically back-to-back, does one "bless you" cover it.#

A god forbid you sneeze more than three times.#

People start spinning in their chairs to look.#

People start making jokes.#

Luckily I'm yet to really encounter a loud sneezer. Everyone seems to try and muffle it as best they can.#
