NoV Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Was queuing for a coffee in my local cafe when I saw a woman approaching the door from outside - probably about 45 with curly brown hair. As she reached out for the door handle I unmistakably saw (but did not hear) her give a large, uncovered sneeze. She entered to cafe and joined the queue behind me, sniffing heavily. Her nose was quite exceptionally large, and obviously still being bothered by something. I was losing interest and focusing on making my order when...'AAAARRRIISSHHHHHHHH!!!!'...she suddenly sneezed again - loudly and uncovered despite her close proximity to me. I felt the blast of air and wetness hit my arm! I am pretty uncomfortable with being sneezed on my strangers, yet my British politeness forbade me from reacting instinctively and angrily In actual fact I ignored it! She was obviously highly embarrassed and muttered 'its the fumes from the cars; sorry' to which I mumbled something incoherent in my own embarrassment. There were no more sneezes, but she continued to sniff heavily behind me, letting out little exasperated gasps every so often. Link to comment
SneezyCars Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Wow, sounds like it was a pretty impressive sneeze, but I wouldn't like getting sneezed on by a stranger very much, either. Cool obs! Link to comment
Hankysneeze Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Not sure if I would have reacted so calmly, well done you. Edited April 19, 2014 by Hankysneeze Link to comment
Snufaleeze Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I so would have freaked out, yelled, and ran away to go wash it off! (Big germaphobe if you haven't noticed ) Link to comment
