i heard that the reason why people say bless you to someone after they sneeze is because their heart stops for like a split second before they sneeze. so its more like a last rights kinda deal. i dont know exactly how much truth there is to that though.i myself get upset when someone dont say it to me.

I ususally do, but sometimes I dont pay any attention, I dont think that it is bad luck.

No, it is just a Medieval superstition. But it is nice to say.

I don't think that it's bad luck, I just think that it's impolite. It's become such a habit that I don't even think about it anymore, I just automatically say gottsudheit whenever I hear anyone sneeze.

When my girlfriend sneezes, she does it an average of 7 times in a row, in about 4 bursts each in the span of about a minute. I've never heard her sneeze just once or the occasional twice like the rest of us. I basically gave up on saying "bless you" as it was incredibly redundant and a waste of my time. I guess you can say I lost my faith. It's lonely.
