liz_super Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The other day my coworker Jenna (who is 5'1" and kind of Italian-looking) and I both entered the kitchen at the same time looking for coffee. The pot was empty, but someone had followed the unwritten rule and put on another pot (thankfully). Jenna and I both decided to wait for the coffee to get ready, and she sat down by the table, about 3 feet away from where I was standing. After like 10 seconds in silence (she's very shy, it seems), she said in an uncharacteristically loud voice "Oh, I'm gonna sneeze!" and lifted her hands up towards her face, which was now in a very clear pre-sneeze mode. Not long after, she jerked forward and sneezed quite loudly: "He-etch!!!"I was thrilled that she sneezed, but kind of disappointed too, because she didn't seem to have the need to sneeze again, even though I thought the sneeze sounded very much like it could have a follow-up. So I turned my back to get the milk out of the refrigerator when I heard Jenna in unmistakable pre-sneeze breathing. I turned (oh, so casually) to see her hands at her face again before she let out two more sneezes "He-tchu!!! eh-Hetchoo!". This time the sneeze-look didn't leave her face, she still needed to sneeze! At this point I was just staring with a carton of milk in my hand, probably looking very stupid but not being able to concentrate on anything else. Jenna just let out "Hetchoo! He-etch!......He-tcho!" and then she tried smiling to me (probably to excuse herself) but she couldn't do it properly, because she had to let out one more sneeze: "Hetcho!"She seemed kind of embarrased after, and left the kitchen with her coffee as soon as she could.

donttakenostuff Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Wow, great observation, and what a treat. To think that she would only sneeze once, to witness nearly a sneezing fit. Wow. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment
