Gesundheit

Why is it the weirdest thing to me when i sneeze in a public place and a total stranger says "bless you."? I just cannot believe that this bizarre carryover from the middle ages is still a part of everyday life in 2005. I just sneezed out some more coffee dust (probably - i think that's what my problem is) and the guy next to me at the library pipes up with his blessings. Thanks, dude - i'm cool because i sneezed and i'm wearing my special garlic pendant around my neck. WHAT?

No! People don't even make small talk on an elevator going down from the 130th floor to the lobby, but people of all personality types and religious convictions are don't want to be left out of the opportunity to acknowledge that you just sneezed and that their good wishes for happiness and peace are with you. And then it's back to business as usual. People think they can just traipse in and out of my life with good tidings and peace on earth everytime they hear "aaah choo!" and i think something should be done about the insincerity of it all. Seriously.
