    Sneezing is an involuntary reaction. Being annoyed by people sneezing is sort of dumb.

    Literally nobody has said people shouldn't sneeze. The only point of discussion is how much noise you make when you do so.

    Involuntary reaction typically means you have little, if any, control or pre-knowledge of the action occurring. I know the amount of times I actually feel a sneeze coming on and can do something about it are a pretty low minority, especially in pollen season. Usually I'm suddenly sneezing with no ability to control how or when it happens.

    Unless you have some sort of magical sneeze schooling text, this is a really dumb avenue to invest frustration in.

    I always sneeze multiple times in a row. Even I find it annoying.
    I think it's ok to be annoyed by people doing something they can't completely control. I mean, several really loud noises in a row is annoying. And I knew at least one person who trained themselves to make their sneezes louder and more obnoxious- they were just annoying in general, though.

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    I am annoyed by my housemate for leaving all her hair in the shower plug. I know it is her hair because I'm blonde and her hair is red. I mean, just brush your hair before you get in there!!!!!

    No, the point of discussion is that, being an involuntary reflex we can't really control how loud we sneeze. Just because some people naturally sneeze quietly, that hardly means everyone else can just damp down their sneezes. That you can't seem to grasp that not everyone's bodies work exactly the same is kind of stunning.

    According to a website I just found the way to sneeze more quietly is to hold your breath, clench your jaw and teeth, open your lips, push at the base of your nose with one finger, cough at the same time, and use a blackout curtain for a handkerchief to muffle any remaining noise.

    This sounds complicated.

    Whenever I feel a sneeze coming on, I draw a pentagram in goat's blood and light one hundred and thirteen candles. I cut myself with the ceremonial dagger of juulaq'guol and cut a deep gash into my left hand, letting seven drops of blood drip into the center of the pentagram. After I finish The Dark Recitation, I close my eyes, hold my nose, and cover my mouth with my elbow.

    works alright for me.

    If it's long enough for Liiya to make that mistake then maybe one should.

    to be honest, if you go to clean a shower and don't expect to find something absolutely foul, I don't know what you use showers for

    the whole purpose of a shower is to clean all the gross off of you

    I'm not a hairy individual but I am still keenly aware that my hair my have a negative impact on someone's ability to keep their lunch down if they are cleaning the drain and I haven't done maintenance on it in a while. So I make sure and check for drain issues about once a month and if there are any, get some Drano. I never hear my wife say she found a gross hair clog.

    In my geometry class in high school someone once brought up for some reason some thing about how a sneeze is 1/8th of an orgasm. After that, if anyone started having a sneezing fit the teacher would start counting. If she got to 8 she'd say, "Lucky girl."
    This teacher also had her home number available so students could call her for help on the homework. One student was having trouble remembering the difference between horizontal and vertical ( O_o ) and she was explaining it using analogies like 'horizon' and stuff and her boyfriend yells from the other room "Just remember, whores lie down!"

    "Just give us your phone number if you come in again, no worries."
    Friend of mine was buying a game at Gamestop and they were running some kind of special where if you bought (or traded in, I don't remember) a used game you'd get x amount off the price of the game you were buying. He was all like "nah, I'm not interested" and the clerk said, here I'll show you something. And he reached over into that bin of like, 3 dollar playstation games grabbed one of the games they have dozens of copies of, scanned it in, then threw it away, and got my friend like 8 dollars off the game he was buying.

    Look, it's not that I mind you dissolving bodies in the tub, but if you could just clear the fucking trap when you're done I'd appreciate it. I found a whole eye in there the other day, it just ruined my whole morning.

    Next time, don't get into why you don't drink. Simply assert that you don't and when they ask why, restate that you simply do not drink and it's none of their concern why. Don't give them anything to argue or debate with. Just keep it simple and don't get into a discussion about how many times you've tried drinking and what you've had. If they keep pressing for details, just keep repeating, "why is it so difficult for you to grasp that I don't drink and that the reason is none of your business?"

    The other day I felt a sneeze coming along in bed and really really didn't want to wake the baby - I somehow managed to reduce it to nothing more than a sharp hiss of air through my nose, though the spasm was as forceful as usual. However since this moment I have been unable to repeat the feat on any subsequent sneezes.
