Yes, I surely do. It's a good habit for the sake of hygienic. I will feel pretty bad when people sneeze or cough in front of me. But I think it is also rude to complain about their behavior for it may be unconscious error. Instead, I will hold the breath

unmannered sneezing - depicts how saliva and other unseen unmentionables are spurted freely in the air when we sneeze without covering our nose and mouth.
people who don't cover their mouth when they cough is quite rare. i'm not really sure but i haven't seen anybody cough without the reflex of covering their mouth not happening. however, some people don't have a care when they sneeze. i just want to sneeze in front of them without covering my nose or mouth and see how they would like it .

Ha Ha Ha very intersting discussion. No I never forget cover my mouth when I sneeze. Let me tell you something intersting. One day I was going somewhere by bus. Suddenly one passenger, who was standing on the bus, sneeze on me. And guess what that man didn't cover his mouth at all. And all of...... from his mouth wet me. Not funny. Always cover your mouth when you sneeze.

i always try to cover my mouth when i sneeze because then you stop other people catching your germs and i believe its just polite. When people cough or sneeze in front of me without covering there mouths i get annoyed but there isnt much we can do about their habits only our own.

Well, this is an appropriate and hygenic way to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough. It's good to have this good habit. I always bring my tissue in my purse, so in case i had to sneeze or cough, i will take a piece of the tissue and cover my mouth with it. Later, i will throw it to the nearest bin..

No, I have never forget to cover my mouth when I sneeze. It has been a habit to cover my mouth very automatically whenever I sneeze. It has somewhat become like a reflex action, cover mouth... sneeze... cover mouth... sneeze... It is rude to sneeze or cough in front of somebody without covering the mouth. If someone sneeze or cough in front of me without covering their mouth, I will look at them out of curiousity whether they have forgotten to cover or they do not have the habit of covering.

i will alway cover my mouth when I sneeze or cough I think its rude not to do that. I don't like it when people cough or sneeze right onto my face or beside me without covering of mouth.
