Whenever someone sneezes I simply cannot summon the will to say “bless you.” It is not because I am not sorry they have to experience the inconvenience of being forced to expel a tickle from their nasal cavity by uncontrollably spewing their mucus and saliva all over their own hand or into the general area -- I am very sorry for that. I have sneezed quite a few times myself and it’s a dreadful, messy affair; but I have never been able to understand or accept the arbitrary task of having to “bless” someone for it.
