MzMental Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I've been wondering what constitutes as a "fit" of sneezes to other people. Like, I personally sneeze in groups of 3 or 4, so like a small fit in my mind is like 6 or 7. But other people have mentioned to me that it's a lot. What do you guys think? How many sneezes count as a fit? Link to comment
Morningsmith Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'd go by about exactly the same numbers you've suggested, but I also think it's common for people to think of 4 as a fit. I'd guess it's because 4 is one past a triple, since that's a pretty common and well-recognized sneezing pattern As long as people aren't using "fit" to describe anything less than 4 (which is false advertizing and a horrible tease!) I'd be open to different uses. Link to comment
Shay Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I guess I'd count 4 as a small fit, but it doesn't feel like a proper fit to me unless there are at least 5 sneezes in a row fairly close together. Link to comment
Chanel_no5 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 My personal scale for this goes: single - double - triple - small fit (4-5) - fit (over 5). Link to comment
NoV Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I would class anything over 5 sneezes as veering into fit territory Link to comment
MzMental Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Glad to see Im not far off! I feel like my sense of what is normal is skewwed; growing up, it was routine of me to sneeze minimum of 5 or 6 times whenever I sneezed. My mom's the same way, we're weird. Link to comment

TheBowler Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I don't like the idea of a sneezing fit being classified as a set number of sneezes. I think maybe a minimum of 3 or 4, but everyone is different. Some people hardly ever sneeze, while others already sneeze 3 to 4 times in a row on a regular basis. I think it really depends on who is sneezing. Link to comment
Justasneezygirl Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I typically sneeze 3 or 4 times, so I would say anything 5+ is a fit, but it also depends on who is sneezing. Link to comment
Holdbacks Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I count above groups of 3. I usually sneeze one time or two, so if sneezes happen more than 2 times I say that’s fit. Link to comment
RosieB Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hm I would say 4. I feel like that's the point where it crosses the line from average to desperate Link to comment
bingochamp7 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I’d call anything from 4-10 a multiple and over 10 a fit, but that’s just my opinion. Link to comment
just-a-harmless-snz Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Same here, I would classify five sneezes or more as a fit I would say four sneezes are a small fit? Link to comment
kiku Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Definitely no less than 5 sneezes, in my opinion. The time between the sneezy explosions should be no longer than maybe 10 seconds to be considered as a sneezing fit (as for me). Link to comment
Honkytonklagoon Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 At least 5 sneezes, 10 or more might deserve its own category. There are other things to consider, particularly how quickly the sneezes come, Link to comment
PapaBear70 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Ohhhh..... good question! For me, I'd say a fit is 7 or more (preferably more) 😊 Link to comment
Juliana Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Ooh this is an interesting question! I think obviously it varies from person to person but for me it’d be anything over 5 sneezes? I think? anything under 5 is normal for me day to day 😂 Link to comment
