Poll: Unfortunate Times to Sneeze

…While recovering from back surgury.

Yep, from experience. A few months after my surgury I sneezed. It was one of those sneezes you just remember. My back was weak and even in that brief moment just as I became aware that a sneeze was about to happen I knew the results would not be good. I made the wrong decision by allowing my body to go limp and let the sneeze take me where it wanted to. I should have stiffened up to prevent my body from jerking too violently in any direction.

Well, the sneeze was a monster that decided I should bow out of respect for its superiority. Satisfied it left… but the bow stayed.

Couldn’t stand up straight for a week.

it’s even worse when you are the lead pallbearer at your fathers funeral, sneeze as you are approaching the grave and end up falling into it… :smack:

It’s worst of all when you’re the body at the funeral, and you sneeze just as your 8-year-old nephew is peering into the coffin, and everybody runs screaming. Man, was that embarrassing. :smack:

When you have bruised ribs. It’s like being kicked by a mule…

About the 2nd or 3rd weekend into my relationship, my then girlfriend made me a lovely cup of coffee. I was up early and way too groggy, took a nice, long sip and then… WHACHOO!!! Coffee all over the damn wall in front of me, in a circle roughly five feet in diameter. I was so embarrassed I froze. I literally could not move out of shame. My eventual life partner, bless her heart, proved her worthiness of the title when she very quietly got up and cleaned the walls. And then picked on me about it for the rest of the day. :smiley:

Agreed. My helmet is the type where you can lift either just the clear shield or the entire front part including the chin guard, but try doing that while doing seventy and fighting a sneeze.

OK, people have mentioned sneezing during sex, but I haven’t read a response about after sex. For women. When you’re all wiped off afterwards—then you sneeze and semen comes squirting back out. Weird feeling.

When you have to fart. It’s good entertainment for family and friends, though.

A-ChooPHAPPPPPT!!

Oww that hurt

mack, all I have to say is, 7th grade science class. As if middle school weren’t awful enough.

While carrying a beaker FULL of 14M acid without gloves.

Yes, it happened to me. I scooted to the nearest table and set it down just in time, thereby saving 14 fellow students a trip to the emergency shower.

At the time, I thought it was probably the worst time to sneeze. Some of these have it beat, though.

This one was a near miss this morning:

When you have a cat standing on your shoulder.

I sneezed once during scuba diving, most was diverted out my mouth but enough came out my nose to cause my mask to come off my face and snap back. It felt much more violent then the standard sneeze.
