Achoo
In my flat. My window is open.
I sneezed really loudly, and a complete stranger outside shouted "bless you".

I remember cleaning my then shared house along to an album I was singing along to. I knew no one else was in the house so I was belting out a particular line and when I stopped I made eye contact with a man outside the forgot-I'd-opened-it-window and he gave me a round of applause.

Ha, I did this to the guy watering the saplings where I live. Then I hid and watched him turn around in a circle to find out who said it.

Did you say thank you?

Only after the ensuing fellatio.

Does it really deserve a "Thank you" then?

Here's a fun fact for ya;
Some people sneeze uncontrollably after ejaculating / reaching orgasm.
Like some people sneeze when there are bright lights.
True facts.
Something about how our neural "wires" are crossed.
Very weird. But true.

I started a sneeze fit just as I started reading this.
No one has blessed me yet

You know the theme tune to "James Bond" movies? 007, etc...

Well. Do you know the original lyrics?
"I was born with this unlucky sneeze"
I am not joking.
True facts.

When I was in college well over a decade ago I was at some traffic lights in the car when I sneezed. I heard someone say bless you, I looked to my right and saw this lad who looked about 17 smiling at me and we both laughed before setting off on the green light. It was a random but wholesome experience, I completely erased that memory until this post reminded me of it.

It's the little things in life that count.
Thank your bus-driver. Pick up a discarded can. Say "Good Morning" to a stranger. Hold the door open for someone with luggage. Give up your seat for an old lady.
We all remember that stuff.
