opensneezing is one of the extremely few common societal violations l have a problem with.

i will occasionally tell the opensneezer to cover their mouths If their barbaric explosion of phlegm and germs is violent and close enough to me.

as you can imagine, this advice is well liked and accompanied by universal thunderous applause.

Context: yeah, this is pretty fucking gross, the 1920s were also the tail end of the Spanish flu which killed some 20-50 million people out of a world population of 1.5 billion.

So yeah, hard to disagree with Everett here.
