...to not say 'bless you' every time someone sneezes?

[MackerelOfFact]

Or is that impolite?

When I sneeze, I usually just say 'excuse me' afterwards. If someone wants to bless me, then fine, but I don't much care.

But for some reason my colleague gets arsey when people don't say 'bless you' when she sneezes - to the point that she will passive-aggressively say 'bless me' when she sneezes and shoot pointed glances around the office.

I feel like I'm being rude not blessing her but at the same time it seems a bit daft that anyone would be that bothered!

YANBU. I have never said "bless you" in my life, nor did my parents as far as I remember, and it slightly annoys me when people say it to me, but people who pointedly say "bless ME" are the most annoying of all.

A colleague just did three mahoosive spluttery sneezes when standing in front of my desk. He looked at me expectantly but I purposely withheld my 'bless you's as I disapprove of spluttery, snottery, dramatic sneezes.

That'll teach him.
