Perfect timing

[Guest nycres]

First post ever: I was at Dunkin Donuts today. Ordered a coffee and sat down at a table. I pulled open the tab on the lid to expose the hole you drink out of, but the counter person had filled the cup with so much coffee that some came spilling out onto the table. I got up to get some napkins to wipe it up. As I was getting up to get the napkins, I felt the smallest tickle in my nose, so small that I ignored it. I pulled maybe five napkins out of the dispenser and was going back to my seat when the tickle got stronger. OMG, I might actually sneeze, I thought. I sat down in the chair, held onto one napkin and put the rest on the table. The thing is, I love to sneeze into tissues/hankies/napkins whatever (and REALLY enjoy watching women do so), so I started to get excited, and totally expected to lose the sneeze as I opened up the napkin. (I mean, what are the odds that a sneeze will come just as I go grab some napkins for something totally not sneeze-related??) But my eyes closed, I took a small breath, and did a nice solid "CHOO" into the napkin. I cringed for a second, expecting a "bless you" from some stranger, but it never came. Great way to start the day.
