Bless me or pardon me when sneezing?

[PrincessConsuelaBannanaHammock]

When other people sneeze I usually say bless you, if I sneeze I say bless me. Always have done, probably because my parents do too.

DP says pardon me if he sneezes

Just curious as to what's the norm for people?

I am in no way religious so saying bless me isn't a religious thing for me, it's only just occurred to me recently that it might even be construed as a religious thing?

Bless you/bless me in our house

excuse me

I always say bless you. I neither bless nor excuse myself.
As am aside, I loved the film Singles- Bridget Fonda wanted to meet a man who would say gesundheit when she sneezed. Great film.

You can't bless yourself! Well, it sounds odd to me.

I say excuse me.

Oh dear

Bless you
Excuse me

I say excuse me and then say bless us.

Cba with any of that blessing crap. We don't say anything at all.

I also say "bless you" to others when they sneeze.

Bless you

Pardon me is for other noises off

Nope, don't say anything either

Excuse me if I sneeze, bless you if someone else does. I wish I said pardon me but I always forget.

I say bless you to someone else and excuse me when I sneeze. But really do we need to say anything? Surely when it's an involuntary reaction that isn't burping or passing wind we shouldn't need to? It isn't exactly rude to sneeze or yawn so shouldn't need excused or pardoned.

Nothing. It is an involuntary response to an irritant. Doesn’t require an apology and as for blessing, well that means nothing to me.

I find it annoying that we have sayings for sneezing. We don't with coughing. With a burp or a fart it's just"excuse me" with no blessings stowed.

Excuse me.

Bless you/bless me for sneezes. Pardon me for passing wind. Excuse me for yawning in company that is not family.

I've trained my toddler to say gesundheit when someone sneezes. My dad's always said it.

Bless you/bless me

It usually goes urrrghhhh excuse me.

Bless.
Wasn't sneezing an early sign of plague or something so you're warding off the nasties (or some such superstitious nonsense!)

I don’t say anything when I sneeze. Maybe ‘excuse me’ if it’s a really inopportune time and I interrupted someone’s big moment or something.

excuse me

Bless you
Excise me

• Excuse !!
