Why don't Millenials say "Bless You" after you Sneeze?

They're pissed because the sneeze interrupted their electronic chat session?

Why do people have to classify and stereotype people by their generations?

Definitions of "bless:"

To make holy by religious rite; sanctify

To invoke divine favor upon

To Honor as holy; glorify.

You expect another person to sanctify, invoke divine favor upon, and glorify you just because you sneezed?

1. They do. What are you talking about?

2. The custom is ridiculous. Are you really going to get offended when someone doesn't say a meaningless phrase after you sneeze? It's a waste of breath and time.

3. 0/10, the use of "Millenials" gave it away. Start studying for your finals kid, you clearly need more English skills if you're going to be a successful troll.

I get offended when anyone says "bless you." It offends my sense of no religion needed.

I, too, find it rude when others don't acknowledge my bodily functions.

Sneezes are NOT regular bodily functions. They are simply cries for attention.

I'm going to be more generous than an earlier poster and go 1/10. That said:

1. The word is "millennials." Yeah, yeah, I know: "It was an ironic misspelling!" No, it wasn't; you're just ignorant.

2. The whole "bless you" thing started BITD when, with some frequency, plague victims would have sneezing fits just before they died. Plague is a lot rarer now.

3. "Bless you" has an understood subject: "[God] bless you." Maybe millennials are honest enough (in their unbelief) not to perpetuate old myths about "deities."

4. Seems like people are more likely nowadays, if they say anything at all after another sneezes, to wish the sneezer good health. That's what "Gesundheit" means. (I'm also seeing a move toward saying "salud"--Spanish for "[good] health"--to the sneezer. Certainly sounds friendlier than "Gesundheit.")

5. Why does anything need to be said? People sneeze! People cough, too--do you expect someone to say something after that?

6. If anything need be said, it's really the one who sneezed who should speak up--and say, "Excuse me."

7. If you got that much of a response from me then I have to upgrade: 2/10.

I don't understand why people who know OP is a troll will respond to OP even after saying they know OP is a troll. Oh, wait.........

Am I a millennial? I am 32.

I always say bless you.

Then I rip hard gas and look around for the culprit.

It's their vegan diets.

Are all the guys who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan these so called millennials?

Maybe you should just be addressing your questions to other trolls and supposed men who get offended when another man doesn't baby them like a fancy boy should be.

Here in the South, everyone says "Bless You". Millenials do it too.

During the spring pollen season, blessing each other takes up most of the day.

You're either sneezing or blessing, blessing or sneezing. I love the South.

Everybody now says "you are soooo good lookin'."

Don't really mind that anymore.

But why do old people insist on blowing their nose in restaurants while people are eating! !

Probably because it is the year 2015 and we now know that sneezing isn't actually demons leaving the body.

They lack couth and manners.

You just used your once a week quota of the "Oh wait......" response. You have a tendency to over use it on your letsrun posts.

I agree 100%. Just expressing genuine concern/advice for Crap King.
