Over the course of the 22+ years of my life I have been subjected to a variety of situations where I had to sneeze, some of which with disasterous results. Which of the above scenarios sounds the worst to you? Also, a sneezing fit can also be considered in your decision making. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I'm surprised that sneezing with your eyes open isn't on here, according to the legend that your eyes would pop out if you were to do so. For me, I'll go with sneezing with a mouth full of food. I've actually had that happen before, and it's not fun.

Definitely 'While watching cabbage.' If one of them hears you sneezing, you might as well just give it up  .

The worst for me was when eating; how come that's not in the poll? I will spare you the details, I'll just say that noone at the table could eat any more. But it could be worse... Like when driving, I think. |

While Sneezing also sounds like a good name for an indie band or, coming more towards the progressive field, a math rock band. |

Honestly, if you're able to sneeze during your own brain surgery, something is terribly wrong... you might have picked the wrong hospital.

That would fit, indeed (though none of the food detailed there can match a sneeze with the mouth full of soup). God bless the event happened in family. |

Well if those poll option boxes had larger character limits this wouldn't be a problem.
 The last part of option #3 should have been 'etc'...so all food works. I didn't want to specify food, because that could take many options away from this poll. However, it could make one hell of a whole other poll.  ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Not something anyone will run into anymore, but you do not want to sneeze on an LP. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

Bah, you can wash your LPs. Sneezing while performing a brain surgery - or any surgery - is not good. But I tend to think that surgeons tend to stop their activities a few seconds when they feel the sneezing coming (THE SNEEZING IS COMING - the great concept album of 2011, available on LP/CD/MC/MP3/FLAC on Shred Records). Of course, sneezing when kissing and/or having sex is also not good. |

One which isn't in the poll is:
"When you have a really snotty cold (and I'm talking about the sort of snotty cold where your lungs are like a blocked sink in a toffee factory) & you are in a room full of your relatives, where said sneeze catches you completely by surprise and without hankerchief" One word: Splat! -------------

The food one doesn't bother me too much as I don't usually sneeze with my mouth open and would be able to keep it in without spitting it everywhere.
However, if I were to scale mountains without a harness and suddenly sneeze that would be like certain death. well, if i were able to climb anything.

Being a woman I have no problems of sneezing while peeing, and you men would not either if you sat down for it. I voted for "While walking on a tightrope". My brother , who is ten years older than I am, had a collection of "Famous Last Words" pictures he had collected in the early 70s, when my family lived in Nottingham and Leeds; he says they were quite a fashion then amongst kids. One of them was an "Oh, I am going to sneeze" picture of a man on a tightrope. Others I remember were "Yippie, eggs for tea" from a man who found an eagle's nest or "It's kind a dark suddenly" from a worm above which a descending foot hovered. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

You know what I hate? When a sneeze is coming on and you really feel like you need to and it doesn't go off (ah, ah, ah ,ah, no choo) .
Not to mention you (guys and gals) can take the opportunity do certain internal exercises (hint they begin with a "K")...  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

While shaving...Believe me, once had a sudden sneeze when using one of those four blade machines.
Ended with a beutiful four lines scratch bellow the nose.

PS: When peeing in a plane is awful also
PS II: Just remember I sneezed once while taking a fine porcelain soup tureen full of boiling soup,....Don't know how managed to avoid a double tragedy (My leg and an expensive collection piece of my ex mother in law). -------------

Voted for the first option, but any time when a large amount of snot is released and I don't have the opportunity to grab a hankie can be defined as the worst time to sneeze. -------------

Hey...pissing can be expensive. Especially if you pissing in a vase garden or over a rug with the face of jesus on it.
And I'd hope not. Though, it would be ironic if that is indeed how the universe began. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

it might be while churning butter. But it depends if it's your own butter or someone elses. Also, my sneezes actually are an LHC.

I think it had.something to do with me obviously having a dick...or even worse.. not having one I had to talk my way out of that one very quickly.. and deftly.. but handled it the right way...
