To think you don’t bloody sneeze in public?Probably get flamed for this but I absolutely detest people sneezing openly in public. It spreads germs and it’s NOT THAT HARD to internally sneeze as in like hold yourself back when you sneeze!

What about you hygiene pet peeves?

Another one is LICKING THE SUPERMARKET BAGS....why?! Why would I want you to slurp on your finger and then use your saliva to lubricate my bag and then continue to put my fresh produce into said bag. EW EW EW.

PS. Don’t say people can’t help sneezing, because unless you are challenged in someway , you ABSOLUTELY can.

Ewww the memories this is bringing back...
My ex used to (well, probably still does) sneeze openly and loudly with his mouth closed at the moment of sneeze. Think 'Ahh-ahh-ahh'-close mouth- then everything would be propelled at great speed from his nose 🤢🤢🤢 everyone around him would say how gross it was but with no effect. It really was repulsive. Sorry had to share.

You do know a certain amount of germs is good for healthy people? Build the immune system somewhat.

I don't hover - my knees are knackered. I sit. Thus my pee goes in the toilet bowl, not around it and on the seat like the hoverers' wee.
I have never caught anything from sitting on a dry loo seat.

Wiping up the hoverers' wee however is rather disgusting.
Stop hovering and sit already, stop splashing everywhere!

If I sneezed with my mouth shut the force of the sneeze would force my lips apart. But if you can sneeze with your mouth shut, I congratulate you on your dainty lady sneezes, well done, aren't you lucky!

Can't we agree just to live and let live, be as tolerant as we can be, be as courteous as we can be, and not slate each other for perceived shortcomings?

Meant to add - I sneeze into a tissue or hankerchief (my attempt to reduce landfill). I don't open wide and shower those around me...

Holding yoir sneezes in is dangerous. My DB used to do this and damaged his sinuses due to it. There are ple ty of medical warnings about it. So Im afraid if I sneeze in public I wont risk my health just to make you happy about hygeine. By all means use a tissue and cover yoir nose, mouth when you do but dont hold it in. As far ad Im concerned anyone who holds it in and risks their own health is "challeneged" as you put it.
