People Coughing All Over You

[JimmyTheMook]

How do you deal / react to it ?

Standing on line somewhere and some gum-ball behind you is spraying the back of your neck with wet nasty vapors

Standing in an elevator and some cheese whiz is coughing all over the place with an open mouth

Walking past an idiot who blatantly coughs right into your face

I just say "Kopkoonkrap , hakun , dankashun , merci "or whatever with an intense stare , all I get is a vacant stare , they do not have a clue about covering thier mouth or that the spray travels up to 30 feet(10 metres) infecting all within range . I started carrying kleenex in my pocket so that when this happened I could make a farcical affair of presenting the offender with one and miming how it should be used , in one 7/11 they started to call me Mr Bean , yes , there are times it happens that often .

The latest method for prevention of spreading germs is to cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm .

Correct, splattering the face of the person next to you with your saliva doesn't seem to be a bad etiquette over here.....as long as you are on the receiving end....
