To think this is really unhygienic ?!

[Amimissingsomethinghere]

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.

Holding in sneezes never works for me anyway. Happy to sneeze into the crook of my arm though.

The plastic bag thing isn't a big deal imo. It's an effective way of opening the bag and it's just my own saliva ffs. I can cope with that.

When I sneeze it's like a giant "whooopoooo" sneeze not a dainty lady sneeze. I imagine my head would jettison 5 foot off my shoulders if I tried to keep it in. (I do cover my mouth and nose, though, because I'm not a complete savage despite my burly sneezes).

Nope. Tried to hold in a sneeze once and had a really bad nose bleed. I'd also like to hear an explanation of 'internal sneezing'.

I always use a tissue though (and wash my hands asap).

Honestly I just can't get worked up about people sneezing.

if you don't want a supermarket bag, bring your own bag :-)

Also this.

I judge you more for requiring plastic bags than I would judge the person for licking them.

I missed the bag licking, looking for exploding throats, which I knew I had read about.

I love to lick a bag in the supermarket. Sometimes I unroll the loose produce or bakery bags, throughly caress the inside of each with my tongue, then roll 'em all back up again.

I can internally sneeze if it’s small. If it’s a big come out of no where sneeze, sorry but everyone’s going to hear it! Note:- I do sneeze into my arm but the sound can still be heard!

Oh and take your own carry bags for shopping that solves that problem for you!

Someone said about elbow sneezing. This is what I do if caught unawares. Contain it in elbow/armpit region then wash clothes

My cousin told me that if you keep the sneeze in, it can pop out your eyeballs, and I’m not prepared to risk that.

It's a bodily function ffs. If people cover their face then it's fine. Asking people to do that internal sneeze thing is ridiculous.
And I can't get worked up over a plastic bag in a shop because I rarely buy one due to 99.9% of the time having a little nylon shopper on me. So maybe you could do the same?

I was carrying a baby (not mine) upstairs to bed when i needed to sneeze. She was asleep but i couldn't free my hand in time to cover my face so i turned my head to the side and tried "inwardly" sneeze and ended
Up sneezing into my shoulder/upper arm quietly so not to wake her. I am now having physio on my neck and back. I always try to cover my face , but not always possible. Sorry but YABU. If soneone who CAN cover their face and doesn't-they are just dicks. But no not everyone can inwardly sneeze. Just because YOU can physically do it doesn't mean everyone can!

I've never tried to internally sneeze, mainly because I'm scared that my pelvic floor would let me down.

Hmm, to be fair I find it disgusting sneezing in to clothes, your hand is one thing as it can be washed at first opportunity but walking about with snotty clothes all day kind of grosses me out.

I would piss myself if I internally sneezed
Surely the point of sneezing is it’s meant to be outwards
Yes defo bad form not to use a tissue or hand to catch it
Those pathetic internal sneezes are exclusive to females aren’t they? Ie “ladylike”

I sneeze like a little sickly kitten whispering 'cheese', but my husband trumpets like an elephant using a loudhailer and I want to smack him with a frying pan like Reeves and Mortimer. No need for such loudness.

If I try to hold a sneeze in, snot comes out. I find it's safer to sneeze into my elbow.
Not everyone has tiny sneezes, mine are powerful fuckers that come in 3s and 4s

They teach the kids at DSs nursery to sneeze/cough into clothes and it strikes me as much more sensible. If you're out and about, it might be ages before you can wash your hands. In the meantime you'll be spreading germs to beat the band.

If someone challenged me for sneezing I’m gonna backhand them with my germy sneeze hand.

A tissue is ideal as you can throw it away but sneezing into clothes is better than sneezing into your bare hands.
I don't know if it's just me but not much comes out when I sneeze. It's not like I am walking about with a bogey encrusted top all day.

If you're out and about, it might be ages before you can wash your hands

It might be, but it will be a heck of a lot longer till you can launder your clothes normally.

Sorry it does gross me out when I see someone doing it, all I can think is they are now sitting there with snot on their sleeve. Where as they could have just popped to the loo and washed their hands.

The whole point of sneezing is to expel whatever has caused the irritation! If you have any kind of manners at all, you sneeze into a tissue, hanky, your sleeve or anything, so that your sneeze doesn't splatter all over everyone else. But you still should sneeze, it is a perfectly normal thing and serves an important function.

I take my own bags to the supermarket, so other folk could be wiping their arses on the carrier bags & it wouldn't bother me. I already presume that the handle of the trolley I'm pushing is absolutely covered in traces of other people's filthy hands, so weirdos licking bags is a relatively small concern.

I wonder if the people holding in sneezes are the same ones who hold in wees and poos for hours at a time so they can wait until they get home to their own toilet rather than use public toilets or the toilet at work?

Sneezing is just another natural bodily function that we all do, and as long as we contain the emissions in a hankerchief etc, then you would be crazy to judge someone for 'sneezing in public'.

When you are at work are you supposed to sneeze into your hands and go to the loo straight away and wash them every single time? I guess you are opening all the doors on the way with your sneezed on hand?
Not many jobs would make this possible anyway.

V impractical. Tissues might be the answer.

Op I agree with you about people who cough and sneeze without making ANY effort to use a tissue/hand/turn away. It's absolutely gross, but holding in a sneeze is not possible for me! Licking fingers to take a bag is FOUL, agree with you! I also dislike my glass of drink being held around the top (where I'm going to put my mouth) as it is put down. Usually by the barman I observed chewing his nails....yuk!
