I chose to stop saying 'bless you' after sneezes at work
It was either keep doing the automatic thing or just stay quiet. I picked quiet about six months ago. My cubicle neighbor, Mark, sneezed three times in a row and I just kept typing. He gave me a weird look over the divider. Now I just nod if we make eye contact. Anyone else ditch a tiny polite habit and get a reaction?

Three times in a row and you just kept typing?" I mean that's kind of cold.

Honestly, didn't you used to think that was just how people talked online?

That's just how we talked back then, no big deal.
