In inpatient psychiatry I tell my coworkers "I hope your shift is mind-numbingly boring" or something similar (keyword being boring) because in my line of work, interesting (usually) = bad.

What're yours?

Instead of saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, I quite like the alternative: "shut the fuck up".

Ever since middle school, my "bless you" interaction has always been:

  • "Bless you."
  • Them: "Thank you."
  • "You're welcome."

And whenever I sneeze, it's "bless me, thank me, I'm welcome."

Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

Wouldn't it still be "thank you"? Funny one though!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I mean I say the entire thing to myself. "Bless me, thank me, I'm welcome."

Middle school me started doing it and I've put in no effort to stop.

Ahh yeah I'm not sure what I was thinking earlier lol

If I sneeze and somebody says "bless you", my response is "No, but thanks for the offer".
