For Those About to Sneeze... We Salute You...

This morning while stopping at the local Quik Trip to get some gas, the lady who was going to check me out covered her mouth and nose and offered up what I think is one of the wettest sneezes I've ever been party to.

Sternutation: The Official Medical Term for a "Sneeze"

Can someone tell me why people that work in retail environments aren't instructed to perhaps sneeze into their shoulder or sleeve? ANYWHERE but their hands would be outstanding, but good god what a perfect way to secure a "tip" on an .82 soda purchase.

I gleefully handed her a dollar and said "that's alright" and headed back to the protection of my SUV.

What do YOU think about people Sneezing?

I agree...being a germ-a-phobe myself, I can't believe how many people just don't know the etiquette...it's truly amazing.

I especially like it when you see your server at a restaurant handle money...wipe the sweat from their brow....etc...and then handle your food to the table. I've seen people sneeze/cough over food all the time. Disgusting.

Sounds like Monk needs a wipe.
Try public transportation. Spend 30 minutes sitting next to sneezy, coughing commuters. It builds up the immune system.
