sandyshores123 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've been meaning to post this for awhile but kept forgetting. Last Sunday, my family and I went to the zoo for one of my kajillion brothers' birthday and apparently the March cold is getting to the patrons, because I was fortunate enough to witness five sneezing incidents. 1) A man in his late forties, early fifties. He sneezed so violently it rocked him forward and made me jump about a foot in the air. He sneezed again, a really guttural, almost primal sneeze, then unfolded a large white handkerchief and blew his nose with a trumpet-like honk. 2) A boy about sixteen or so sneezed fifteen times in quick succession. Like, hup-SCHOO-hup-SCHOO-hup-SCHOO and so on, with barely enough time in between for a breath. No nose blowing, unfortunately. 3) A middle-aged woman who definitely looked like she was getting a cold. Her nose was red and chapped around the edges and she kept sniffling, finally sneezing delicately into a tissue. She blew her nose with a wet gurgle, dabbed it, and tucked the tissue back in her purse. 4) Probably the most underwhelming of the sneezes--a quick single sneezed by a man in his twenties into a napkin as he--and we--ate lunch. 5) A teenaged girl with several quiet, almost unnoticeable sneezes. There were about ten-fifteen seconds in between. She said something like "Great, I must be getting sick" and blew her nose softly. I had to work hard to conceal my pleasure from my family.

Smokey Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wow, these sound amazing. I always wonder how people who sneeze repeatedly over 10 times or so in a row without manage to not pass out. I’m sure they were pretty breathless at the end? Did anyone comment on it? I always feel so embarrassed when people comment on other people’s sneezes, which is ridiculous I know lol. Link to comment

He was with someone who looked like his girlfriend, so maybe she's used to it? He was a little breathless at the end and drank some water. Link to comment
