The Schnoz

Today while at work on my computer, I suddenly hear a fog horn go off behind me. Caught me completely off guard that I actually jumped. Oh wait... sorry it was some guy walking by my desk just blowing his nose. Easy mistake. I do believe he was using a handkerchief, which ok Grandpa, those went out of style awhile ago... and for good reason.

But this did start a conversation on Pet Peeves and sneezing. You know those people who have the teeny tiniest "achoo" like in a cartoon? You kind of want to shake them and yell, "Get a REAL sneeze." Because honestly people that little sneeze cannot be fulfilling in the World of Sneezes.

Then you have the person who sneezes 100 times in a row. To those people I just say "Let me know when your finished, I'll just bless you then". Now that one has got to be annoying to them and everyone else, including the fly on the wall. 

Then you have people like me, who sounds like their head has exploded. Usually it makes people laugh and ask if I'm ok. I get to thank my Mom on those genetics, I apparently inherited her sneeze genes. Thanks Mom. 

Last you have the person who internalizes their sneezes. This just makes it look like they've somehow imploded inside. I'm not sure how brain damage isn't caused by this action to be honest. Looks very uncomfortable.

Pet Peeve: Two Ply Kleenex, a real sneeze requires a Three Ply min. And people who use handkerchiefs because that means the boogers are in your pockets, on your hands, everywhere and that is just EW!
