Holding a door is actually helpful. Bless you accomplishes nothing.

Fair enough. I still would rather have people be more polite than not, most people lack basic social skills.

Train Etiquette Questions


I take the train to work everyday. It is about a 30-35 minute commute. I’ve noticed some situations that happen regularly where I am unsure of the proper solution.

1. You are sitting next to someone who sneezes. Do you say, "Bless you?"

WTF? Your ability to be polite is compromised because you are on a train?

Many people think saying god bless you is annoying, rather than polite.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who are these many people? I'm an avowed apathiest and I've never been annoyed by a 'bless you'. If they are so annoyed by god in their sneeze, try 'gesundheit'.

[/ QUOTE ]

Random people telling me bless you is pretty retarded. What is the point? They don't know me, i don't know them and its an automatic response they learned as a kid. Its probably a bigger issue for me since i sneeze more than your average person. For instance if I walk outside and its sunny i'll sneeze.

Better than someone saying [censored] you, although for your nittiness it's probably more appropriate.

Its not like i tell them to [censored] off when they bless you. Am i not allowed to dislike something?

You can but don't be surprised when you catch crap for it. Getting pissy when strangers are polite to you is pretty stupid.

[NT!]

all you retards stop quoting ten posts to make a pointless one line post about saying 'gesundheit'.
