I was driving this morning, not at a high rate of speed but with a lot of cars around. Was about to shift a couple lanes and get into a turn lane when two sneezes happened, one after the other. I had a foot on the brake but didn't want to slam on it because there was traffic behind me.

So I just pointed to the open hole and applied slight pressure.
Lucky no one pulled in front of me in those 2 seconds.

Made me think how terrifying having a proper sneezing fit is on the interstate at a high rate of speed.




Anyone else hate this experience or have a bad episode to share?

Sneezing while driving 108 on the Autobahn in Germany is kinda terrifying. Probably the only time I seriously tried to keep my eyes open and do a half sneeze.

Don't ever blow your nose extremely hard while driving. You're just asking for a wreck.

I generally don’t attempt to switch lanes when I feel a sneeze coming on.

That's how I've always done it.

I’m not convinced this won’t be how I die.

The best is when I’m driving my big truck camper in snow with screaming kids in the back through a construction zone with concrete barriers on either side of me and about 4 inches of “shoulder.”

I had a sneezing fit while driving down the back road to the house, I was turning and didn't want to take my eyes off the road.

With all that was happening I didn't do the best job of covering my mouth. I demolished my daughter in the passenger seat with snot. She was mad for an hour

Having a sneeze attack while in line at the grocery store is much worse

Everyone in line looks at you like you have a 3rd eye

It happened to me yesterday.

since you don't like people that probably was effective in clearing them out.

Yeah, I just dgaf. There’s nothing I could do about it except say “I’m sorry” and just sneeze in my arm.

It was a little embarrassing but wtf am I supposed to to? The cashier was just laughing bc I think he was high

Fond memories of high school come up when my cinematography teacher was lecturing and she sneezed hard and too sudden. A loud fart echoed at the same time while she was sitting on her wood stool. Everyone laughed including her.

What’s scarier is if a wasp gets in your car when you’ve got the windows down driving down the highway.

I sneezed once on the interstate and it was one of those 3-4 back to back sneezes and it made me a little lightheaded, so not only did I have to blindly navigate to the shoulder in the midst of a vicious sneeze attack but I had to wait for my brain to reboot.

Pretty terrifying.

Can't say I've ever had that experience but I do let out an occasional fart when my butler is taking me home from Fogo de Chao.
