My company's Monday meeting included a video that features adults but appeals to an ageless sense of humor. It advises us to cough or sneeze into our sleeves. Doing so may get you strange looks, but using your hands instead spreads germs too much. Hopefully, it'll become customary.

Since then, I've covered my mouth properly about a third of the time and gone back to habit the rest. My officemate, however, says she uses the inside of the front of her shirt. That might be better still for containing germs, but unless you're wearing something sleeveless, it's probably less convenient.

I've grown accustomed to doing it that way... sneezing/coughing into the hands leads to more hand washing (and it drys/cracks skin to no end doing so). Especially with the kind of work that I do now, it's a good thing I've made it a habit (since my hands should never be anywhere near my face - cutting meats). Some people just cough anywhere though (noticed it a few times).

Here at Corpse school they teach us to sneeze in our sleeves. Sadly since no one ever takes these lessons to heart people get real sick REAL fast.

As for sneezing in your shirt, what if you hug that person?

Hey Man, happy birthday.

Shouldn't be a big problem if you use, as I said, the inside. You might feel your own snuzz, but better you than them.

Birthday? That's May 23rd for me. But thanks anyway.

I'm rather a snerd when I sneeze.
