Gesundheit - or not?

When you sneeze here, do not expect to hear "God bless you," or "Bless you" afterwards. It's just not said. If you don't get used to it, be prepared for a slight awkward silence afterwards, in which you look, expectantly, at your nearest neighbor and they look right back at you as if to say, "What?"

Calling it to people who do sneeze is tolerated, but you get conditioned to simply not say it, since you don't hear it.
