Where did that actually come from. Why don't we say bless you when someone cuts one.

I read in a book that people used to think a sneeze was your soul trying to leave your body and saying "bless you" would either keep it from leaving or help it to reach heaven. Though it was a book for children so i can't say if it's a reliable source.

Heard that from multiple other sources as well. It's a stupid custom. I intentionally ignore people who say it hoping they'll get the hint.

I think I heard somewhere that a sneeze used to be thought of as sins/evil/demons leaving the body, so people would bless the person who sneezed. I could be 100% wrong or it could be false info, that's just what I remember hearing.

The Simpsons. That’s where you heard it. Milhouse tells Bart.

I've never seen a single episode of the Simpsons, surprisingly. :)

I know some old people who will track who said Bless You and how many Thank Yous were given. And if the number is off it can easily turn into an argument. Absolute insanity.

Lol, that once happened to me in an elevator…
Guy: crazy sound
Me: Bless you?
Guy: Usually that’s reserved for sneezes…
Me: I had no idea what that was!
