Thread: Does anyone here actually "achoo" when they sneeze?

Just some stupid thing I considered earlier tonight.

I have a neighbour who had a sneezing fit a few hours back. It was kind of weird because he always did this cartoony "AH-CHOO!", the classic phonetic sneeze. When I thought about it though, I don't know many people who make the sound. I heard once that people from different countries sneeze differently. Does what a sneeze is supposed to sound like influence us so much?

When I sneeze I don't make that sound. My neighbour's "ah" was really long and loud, but I keep it quiet and much shorter. Perhaps those who are better at holding in a sneeze tend to make less noise when they do sneeze. There are some people who just sneeze without any restraint or consideration for those around. I know some people think it's nasty but I sneeze into my elbow. I wish more people did that, especially with what's going on now.

Mandatory

Well, I do or at least it's close to it. I have alergies so these achoos are more violent sounding and can make me sneeze like 5 or 6 times. I'd say it's more like "HAAAAAA-CHOOOO" and you can hear me well across the globe. Sometimes I mange the skip the "AH" part and go straight into "CHOO".

My sneezes are more like coughs

Funny you post that picture. Anytime I am about to sneeze and my husband is around, he will say "Pika" and then when I sneeze I make the "chu" sound. lol

As for where I sneeze, I sneeze down my shirt. I look straight down and sneeze into my chest basically. This way everything is contained and I don't have anything on my hands or arms. Since I don't wear anything low-cut, it isn't an issue for me either.

That's legit cute

My sneezes are quite loud, which is why when I do sneeze either I conceal it in my sleeve or deliberately make it as loud as possible just to mess with people.

So you're that guy huh?

Have you done that on an airplane? Lolz

It's tough to get a good sneeze with a stupid mask on. Not to mention that it'd be gross to sneeze and have all that contained by your face. Slip that sucker down a bit and ACHHHOOOOOO!!!!

I say this because I was at a farmer's market the other week and this Boomer lady wearing a mask actually pulled it down to sneeze. She sneezed to the side right into a crowd of people.

The only person I know who actually says "Achoo!" when they sneeze is my Uncle. He's a MASSIVE boi. Like 6' 3" and 350lbs, his sneezes sound like they're breaking the sound barrier.

Sounds like a Karen in the making. Maybe she hadn't yet read on Facebook that she didn't need to wear one anyway.
