- I once had an autistic, elderly man living above my room. Whenever I sneezed, I would hear “gesundheit” from the ceiling. - My wife sneezes very loudly and my house isn’t great at sound insulation. Whenever she sneezes, I text her “bless you.” (Even if I’m in the same room, but it’s more fun for me when I’m not.) - Perhaps I am an autistic, elderly man. - I am careening towards the elderly part faster than I would like. But maybe we got along so well because of some autistic synergy. 
 
- Should’ve said “Danke” 
- Keep things personal and cozy with a warm - JAWOHL, MEIN KOLONEL ! 
 
- I love saying “Gesundheit” instead of that cultish “Bless you” nonsense. - It’s been my go-to since I was a lad. 
 
- I kept saying “Gesundheit” every time someone sneezed when I was in Australia. Many looked at me confused. 
- Achso. - Achtung - Unfortunately my sneezes actually sound like that
