Holding back a sneeze

[emeraldknight47]

Being a lifelong resident of the Ohio Valley, I've definitely learned to hold a sneeze back, especially since the urge to sneeze can hit at the worst times. I remember being in the midst of a job interview and the urge to sneeze hit and, had I allowed that sneeze out, the poor guy interviewing me likely would've gotten a DNA sample (even though I always make sure to carry a hanky with me). Another reason I hold 'em back is because my sneezes tend to be a bit on the violent side and when I sneeze a lot, it can throw my back out. Still, when I wake up in the A.M., it's usually a 12 to 15 sneeze marathon before I even get upright, so it's not the most pleasant way to wake up....

^^ I stifled a yawn...

I've never been able to stifle a sneeze. What I do, though, is exhale when I get the urge to inhale and the sneeze comes out like a gentle cough.

I get grossed out when people have those big ole sneezes...







Especially in the supermarket line up...

Worse yet, when you see someone, adult or child, let loose with a full-on sneeze whilst getting food from a buffet. I saw it happen once. Reported it to the manager. Manager did N-O-T-H-I-N-G, so I left and told him I wasn't going to pay for food that may well be contaminated. The same place went under about a month later and to this day, I still avoid buffets like the plague...!
