Sneezing... 2 times or 3 times?

[MacDawg]

In my experience, folks are generally divided into 2 distinct camps...

Those who sneeze twice
And those who sneeze thrice​

Clearly there are occasions where people might only sneeze once, or multiple times
But as a general rule, are you a twice or a thrice sneezer?

I almost always sneeze 3 times

Now, one can no doubt speculate on a correlation between sneezing and other factors

Mac users sneeze 3 times, Windows 2 times
iPhone users sneeze 3 times, Android 2 times
Smarter people sneeze 3 times, others 2 times
Attractive people sneeze 3 times, others 2 times​

Obviously these are just based on my personal observations
Feel free to draw your own conclusions... and comment accordingly

I'm usually a double sneezer. But I went through an odd phase where I'd sneeze three times every single morning about an hour after I woke up. Really weird. My assistant at work got the point where it would happen, and she'd just say "There it is!".

I know one guy who has sneezing fits and every time he sneezes, it's in the 12-16 range. But they're all really suppressed and it sounds like he's hyperventilating.

I'm not even going to begin to speculate on Mac/Windows sneezing.

Must be those drugs you've been taking

Multiple sneezes in a set (even two) is very rare for me - maybe that will happen every year or two.
Two or three (or more) - I don't seem prone to that response.
One sneeze, pleeze!
Maybe it's because I am not particularly sensitive - no allergies, afaik.

Oddest response I have ever seen - I worked with a lady in retail store early in my life, stocking shelves. There's a fair amount of dust created. This lady would sneeze, then would always say the word "atchoo". It seemed completely involuntary. Not sure if that counts as one or two!

I usually try to get a strong first sneeze to ward off the other two I know are coming
But alas, it is to no avail, as the other two almost surely follow no matter what I do
But that first one... well, lets just say I have come close to putting folks into cardiac arrest with those

Sometimes I sneeze twice. Sometimes I sneeze three times. I've even sneezed four times or more.

The only thing I've garnered from it is that there's a lot of snot in my head, and it must be expelled.

I've really bad hay fever and can literally sneeze my way to a nosebleed. Actually managed to give myself concussion several times.

 

[mobilehaathi]

As a general rule? Once.

As a general rule? Once.

But you're an elephant. What you lack in numbers, you make up for in pure volume.

 

[S.B.G]

Generally speaking, 1.5 times. Many times it's just once, but others times it takes two sneezes to get it all out. It's exceptionally rare if I sneeze more than twice.

 

[Tomorrow]

Once. I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've double sneezed.

I once had a roommate who double sneezed. Everyone else I know sneezes once.

I've started a few tornados during allergy season...

 

[The Doctor11]

I sneeze usually just once so I guess I'm an outcast.

 

[AZhappyjack]

Just once, usually.

 

[twietee]

I almost always sneeze 3 times

Same here. *high five*

Apple needs to add sneeze sensing to the Apple Watch. This is too important an issue to allow guesswork. Maybe a combination of the gyro, accel, and mic, with some digital filtering to recognize the motion coincident with the sneezing sound. If they don't, some other smart-watch vendor will, and then Apple is doooooomed.

No, I'm not serious at all.

My mother is one of those astonishing sneezers, regularly sneezing in the 14-16 range.

And yes, until she had a nostril cauterised around a decade and a half ago, she occasionally sneezed her way to a massive nose bleed.

 

[rdowns]

Just once but my sneezes are violent.

 

[JamesMike]

I sneeze twice.

 

[hallux]

Historically, I was a 2-sneezer. Recently I've been a 3-sneezer.

 

[Josh125]

Three times, always.
