Just say bless you, and ignore it.  Hand out tissues if it helps.  \n\nThere is honestly nothing else you can do- you can't stop a sneeze.  Anything you would say to try to get people to "sneeze more quietly" will just end up making you look like a cad.

I was on the other side of your situation. I am allergic to certain types of perfume. A co-worker of mine came into work wearing the type I am allergic too. (It smelled really bad but that's another story). I told her I was allergic to it and she said she wouldn't wear it any more. I figured issue over. Two days later I came to work and she was spraying herself with it in her office which is next door to mine. I ended up spending about five hours in the hospital and couldn't work for three days because my reaction was so severe. She is a pretty horrible person and my employer told her that if she couldn't be sensitive to those around her she would be looking for alternate employment. She didn't do it again but for it to come to that was really sad. It really changed our relationship and her relationship with our other co-workers. She knowingly made me sick and that's really inexcusible. \n\nAs far as your situation goes, maybe it is your perfume and maybe it isn't, but why would you want to risk making someone else sick. You may be getting annoyed, but she's sick... which is worse. I would suggest you don't wear the perfume to work that way it can't be your fault and she has nothing to blame you for. Wear it in your free time when you won't be around her.\n\nAllergies are unpleasant enough as it is, you shouldn't have to argue with co-workers to do the right thing. If you were allergic to peanuts would you want her coming into your office and eating peanut butter while sitting on your desk. No. The workplace is a place filled with annoyances, what makes us good people is learning to think of others before we think of ourselves and always try to do the right thing.\n\nProbably not what you wanted to hear, but I think you're being incredibly selfish and inconsiderate.

well, as someone that works closely with others in a small office, i would say my greatest factor is whether I will get my coworkers sick!  A personal pet peeve is when someone comes in with a fever, sore throat, bad cough, and then everyone in the office ends up missing time at work.\n\nAlso, since I work closely with clients, I would say if I am so sick that I can not "be there" for my clients, if i can not provide the service that they are there for, then my happy butt needs to go home.

It's not. Or more accurately, I'm almost certain it's not. I myself get that when I sneeze hard, it's just body's reflex to the sneeze. I did have lab testes done, and I was 100% fine.

Just relax.  This is probably just a sub-conscience reaction to not wanting to be heard sneezing.  Nobody should think differently of you as long as you make sure that your hands are clean.

When you sneeze it indicates that you don't feel well. So when people hear you sneeze they say "bless you". Farting is generally not an unhealthy function, just impolite to do it in front of other people. When you fart you should say "excuse me" and the reply should be "you are excused".\n\nBy the way, do you know why farts stink so bad?\n\nAnswer: So that deaf people can enjoy them too!

What? What's all this YELLING nonsense?  Yes, I know it is interpreted as an increase in volume, but no one is actually yelling.  Ah yes, all that imaginary shouting that's going on these days in chat rooms across America.  It taxes, vexes and drains me so.  What rubbish.  It's plainly annoying to look at, that's what's wrong with it.  I don't feel like I'm being pummelled by someone else's capitals though.  It's over-sensitivity, my friend, but majority wins so do what they tell you.  Don't feel bad.  I've been scorned for the same reason.

they are not .Ever noticed In a crowdy place like in a movie hall when one person coughs or sneezes it start a chain reaction  thats because we deep in our concious know that it is agaist ettiqutes so when one person goes every other one gets an excuse.

It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open!

I think it's worse to sniffle. To be honest, I keep sniffling though - I hate blowing my nose in public. I would prefer if people around me blow their nose. It's annoying to hear someone sniffle when you know they need to blow their nose.

I would at least rub it immediately against my pants to wipe it hastily. It's probably best to tell the person. The person should know I sneezed if we ran into each other right afterward. I never sneeze in my hands. I always try my best to pull  the collar of my shirt to sneeze inside it. Germs don't spread as much.

Of course, its a perfectly natural situation. Something that irritates the nostrils' delicate lining makes the nerve endings not only say that 'hey there's an itch here too!' but the sneeze reflex also responds to the irritant.

Sounds like morning allergies. I used to have that when i lived in an apt that had bad ventillation and carpet. You have to vacuum frequently, wipe away dusty areas, open your windows in the morning. When i moved into my new apt that has wooden floors, I never had the sneezing problem again.

Senority, or..... perhaps you whine too much at work. I'm a boss and I hate whiners and butt kissers at work.
