You must act appropriately to a sneeze. Here are the rules for bless you.
- If the person is sitting next to you, say bless you.
- If the person is two people away, then there are some conditions. If its loud, then say bless you. If it is quiet, use your judgement and whisper.
- If the person is more than two people away, it is out of your jurisdiction.
- If the person is in front of or behind you, see #2.
- If the person is a friend, the jurisdiction extends by two bodies. No exceptions.
- If you are attracted to the person, you must say it.
- If you are in church, then say "God Bless You."
- If you are German or named Uncle Larry, say "Gazoontite."
- If someone sneezes on you, then have no obligations. Do as you please.
- During a multipe sneeze episode, bless once after the first sneeze and once after the last. Blessing each time gets tiring.
That's all I've got for now. Any additions?

Sadly, I did. This is the sort of thing that goes through my brain on a daily basis.

What is the proper response back to someone who blesses you after you sneeze?
