unbless you

some time ago, i decided not to say "bless you" when someone sneezes; i'm not religious, and i don't like presuming others' faith.

there are a lot of sneezes where i work (i think it has to do with the air quality), and when i hear a coworker sneeze...

note: it is impossible to keep ones eyes open during a sneeze.

they get my usual response:

the coworkers expect this kind of behavior from me. sometimes i get a response like, "who run barter town?"

it only gets awkward when i accidentally exclaim this somewhere out in public and the person doesn't know me and my unusual ways.
