“Ewww, yecch!! I hope you aren’t contagious, man!”
“What the hell was that?!?”
Or, “bless you.”
- “Bless you”
- “Bless you again!”
- “That’s enough!!!”
- “I’ve warned you once…”
No one sneezes more than four times in my prescence.

At work: Gesundheit
To BF: Sneezer!
“May the forces of evil become confused on their way up your nostrils.”
In public, I always say “Bless you” to anyone I hear sneeze within earshot. I’ll apologize in advance to anyone bothered by that. I don’t expect a response.
At home when my husband or my brother or sister sneezes the sequence is this:
Family member: SNEEZE! (we’re all loud sneezers)
Archergal: Choo! <slight pause, then in a lower voice> toy
It comes from having dogs, ya know? Chew toys?
Ok, maybe family humor isn’t very portable.
Bless you!
Hm, gesundheit in general. If I am particularly absent minded when someone gesundheits me for sneezing I might reply that good health is better than ill health in german but I also had a german nanny and it creeps in when I am not paying attention…=\ :smack:
Nothing, but sometimes when Ardred sneezes I’ll yell HEALTH as loud as possible. It makes us giggle.
One sneeze: Gesundheit!
Second sneeze: Gesundheit wieder!
Third sneeze: All right, knock it off!

Dont ask I dont know why…
when I sneeze I’ll say something like “eww that one was squishy”
But I have really bad allergies so a sense of humor makes the summer a bit more tolerable.
If it’s someone I don’t know, I don’t say anything. If I know them, I’ll fake sneeze and time it so I finish at the same time they do.
Nothing, or You are SOO good lookin! People at school yell “BLESS YOU!” across the room while the teacher is talking. I know they are being polite, but isn’t that streaching it?

I prefer “Gesundheit” most of the time. Never, never, never “Bless You!”
However, when I sneeze by myself, I usually say “Horse sh!t!” or “Merde Alors!” My wife is worried that I may forget myself say this in public too loudly one day. I have no qualms about sneezing and swear in front of her.
Forgot one. Mr. S has allergies, so he sneezes and blows his nose a lot. Sometimes after a couple of honks, I’ll say, “Bond. James Bond.” 
Yes. Even when I’m alone. Just force of habit.
I personally say “bless you” but only to friends and family* and not all the time either. Just depends on my mood.
*I sometimes get odd looks from them too, considering my ardent atheism. I guess cultural habits can be a bit hard to break.
Usually, nothing, and I get kind of rankled when people say “bless you.” If I sense strongly that someone is expecting a response, I’ll say “gesundheit.” And I’ll excuse myself after a particularly disruptive sneeze.
- Gotcha soul
I say “Jesus.”
In the Spanish way (hay-soos).
I learned this from my college Spanish professor, who was from Madrid.
My wife’s college Spanish professor was from Latin America somewhere (not sure where) and my wife follows his example and says “Salud.”
