Lulu Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I read a comment anywhere, that Russian women sneeze open and powerful,in other hand most German women stifle sneezing. Do you agree about it?I know a lot of German people. I found almost half number of German womenstifle or try to keep back sneezing, but other 50% female just let out sneezing.I personally think, that most of the British stifle or repress sneezing muchmore than the German.Do you find any national or folk characteristics about sneezing?Lulu Link to comment
Tangerine Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I've never noticed! Though maybe I just don't enough foreigners...My guess is if there are any patterns they might be determined by what it socially acceptable in that country. Maybe? Link to comment
•.*°•☆. Q .☆•°*.• Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Wow. Stereotyping even extends to small details like sneeze behaviour. Link to comment
marv77 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I haven't noticed it, but it would make since for different cultures to have different customs around sneezing. Link to comment
Raven Insight Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Wow. Stereotyping even extends to small details like sneeze behaviour.I agree with this, and to the OP if your observation is correct there goes my hopes and dreams of a Daniel Radcliffle sneeze. Link to comment
_Daisy_ Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hmm...I don't really know. I'm American, but I haven't really noticed a particular sneeze pattern in our country. It differs pretty broadly. Link to comment
thesneeze123 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 To be honest, I agree with this.I think what I've noticed most is that coming from a very diverse city is I've observed that asians seem to stifle a lot and have quick stifle fits. I'm glad that someone else thought of this too cuz I was wondering if i was just crazy. Link to comment
K.Matsuri Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Japanese people cover with their hands and it drives me NUTS! Vampire sneeze, guys, vampire sneeze! Y'all might catch less colds that way, if only you'd try!!(I'm pretty tolerant in terms of cultural differences, but here I draw the line. Especially since I'm a student and my school has a crazy attendance policy...) Edited December 6, 2012 by K.Matsuri Link to comment
