Look I'm sorry but anyone who claims they don't feel the sneeze coming and can't take the proper precautions is LYING.
Sneezes work in exactly the same way an orgasm does, as in, something triggers the nerve, and it builds and builds until....
You get it.
It's not just one second you're there, the next you're screeching your sneeze noises across the world.
Nup. Doesn't work that way. You get a warning. Moderator cut: language Example - the entire Royal Family. All the horse and flower and dog shows they have to go to, and not a sneeze-screech on record. That's because they have MANNERS.
Well thank you oh great Queen of ENT specialised knowledge for this self righteous, judgemental piece of garbage !
Actually no, I am not lying. I do have manners. In fact I went to finishing school in Switzerland and was brought up by an incredible disciplinarian. I do have bloody manners which is why I can refrain from coughing for hours at a play if I really have to, or at night not to wake my Husband. I too was taught manners the Royal Family way and have for example been taught to hold my bladder needs. I have never in 44 years of long haul flights for example ever had to use an airplane bathroom or public bathroom in fact.
But you know what the really high pitched sneezes ? I get NO warning, and I have no control over there. I don't know why, my Otorhinolaryngologist does not know why and I am mortified and embarrassed when it happens in public. Because despite your accusations and oh so knowing pronouncements I am not doing this for effect or attention or because of a lack of manners....
Read my lips. I CANNOT control those. They actually hurt me. I GET NO WARNING.
I know about Etiquette as I was raised on it ( had dinner with the Queen by the way on a couple of occasions as well as Heads of States - my Father was a Diplomat so spare me the lessons on manners you ridiculous person - I was going to Official Banquets and Occasions as a child ). I am disabled and yet I will always be the one on a bus giving my seat to an older person or pregnant woman for example. I seem to be the only person RSVPing to invitations and sending hand-written thank you cards after a dinner party. I seem surrounded by ill mannered oafs with the social graces of baboons and you call me ill mannered ? Don't make me laugh.
I am getting a little fed up with holier than thou individuals who think they know everything there is about medicine. Until I got ill I had normal sneezes which I could prevent and control (and did as manners and etiquette dictates ). Now sadly I do not. Do you really think I WANT to pull muscles in my neck or hurt my ribcage on purpose ?
Not everyone fit your tiny narrow minded little mould. Some of us for whatever reasons have medical issues we cannot control. My loud sneezes are one of them.
If I had no manners it would not embarass the hell out of me. If I had no manners I would not have gone to my ENT specialist to see what he could do about it, and if I had no manners I would be using slightly saltier language to put you in your place.
Manners ? Grow up and get a life. You Madam are the one who needs a little education into the niceties of dealing with people socially.
Starting with not assuming a genuine medical issue is somehow an insult to your preciousness and a conscious assault on your delicate bigoted little nature.
People with manners do not belittle others for something they cannot control. I have no more control over my sneezes than I have over my physical disability ( which also inconveniences many people I am quite sure). I am terribly sorry my being alive inconveniences people like you but you know what gloves off now, manners to the wind, go and jump off a very high cliff if you can't stand the things some of us have to deal with in our daily lives. If you can't live amongst others and accept them as they are then maybe you ought to become a hermit. A well brought up person with manners, does not belittle someone and make them feel like excrement. Manners = Politeness. I guess that memo passed you by ?
Your nom de plume says it all , a genuine acceptance of other human beings was never going to be your forte was it ?
If I truly wanted attention I think I could do better than sneeze.

Do they have a smiley face to indicate a standing ovation?
ROFL, no, it's not the end of the world at all. And I certainly don't want anyone blowing out their ENT system because they feel they have to hold back a sneeze.
If you SWEAR you REALLY can't control the volume of your own sneeze--well, I'm not going to call anyone a liar about that. Maybe instead of doing what I do to control the sound of my own sneezes, I'll just let 'em rip loud and forceful from now on. As they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

My father yells his sneezes too and has always scared the schnitzel out of me.
For years I've tried to get him to give us a warning that he's going to sneeze... it's not like you can't feel a sneeze coming on.
And he has yet to comply with that request. Yes, its inconsiderate and can be dangerous. What if I was carving up a turkey or driving a car or something then he sneezes like that, it could cause an accident or cause fingers to get sliced off.
You might ask your co-worker to give a warning so the rest of the office can plug their ears or at least know there's going to be a scream.
I don't know about everyone else but when I feel a sneeze coming on, I manage to find the time to grab a tissue before the actual sneeze. No excuse for not warning others.
I am not sure if this is rhe right forum, but does anyone do this/ know someone who does this?
A co-worker of mine sneezes really really loud. I mean when he goes AH-CHOO like the rest of us, he SCREAMS it. Since there are 6 of us in the small office, it is VERY disruptive. It distracts me from what I am doing EVERY time.
For some season, everyone sneezes a lot more than normal in this office. But this guy always screams out when he goes AH-CHOO.
The only person I have EVER known to do this was my grandfather who passed away 20 years ago.
I honestly feel it is not neccessary to scream, but everyones body is different.
Can anyone relate?
Imagine if he holds in the scream...
That force will expel with force from his body through another opening and release gas.
I'd rather sit next to a loud ah-CHOO, than a stinky "pfffff-BRAAAAP!".
You know when you have drinks at work, and someone brings in chips and dip
and the sneezer gets her chip, dips, nibbles the dip off, and DIPS THE SAME CHIP AGAIN thereby RUINING the dip for anyone else.
It's called DOUBLE DIPPING in Australia.
Absolutely disgusting, she would do it EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. sign or no sign.
Like, load your chip up properly in the first place, b itch....or get another one~! They aren't rationed~! It's not war-time!
Scummy cow...she just had to share her body secretions. NASTY.
We call it "double dipping" in the US too but I don't think everyone is up on the jargon. Maybe they've heard of it but don't know what it's about and sometimes that term is also used in another different situation having to deal w/ collecting pay.
Some time ago went to a presentation for work. We were sitting in an auditorium. Must have been at least 200 people in attendance. While someone was up speaking, out of the blue comes this strangest loudest sneeze I've ever heard before. Almost thought I was at the elephant cage in a zoo. Sure it got quite a few laughs and I'm sure that person received a few stares. I'd be embarrassed if I had been that person but that's me but maybe they were embarrassed, I don't know for sure as I was sitting on the far right hand side. I still can't forget that.
Not sure if that's much different than sitting across from someone listening on headphones and then starts laughing really loud. It's like you were reading a book in the library and someone shouts "HEY!" right at you. It can be very distracting too.
