Do you respond when someone sneezes?

Evidemment Monsieur

I sometimes say "Na zdravi" or very rarely "bless you" but I don't like the latter much.

Is that like "to health" in Czech? In Russian they say "bud zdorov" - "be healthy", and there are some similar words in Czech and Russian. The general toast when drinking is "na zdarovye" - "to health" (lit. "on health").

On topic, I never say it since it's pointless and I am not superstitious. I don't say any blessings when people burp/fart/cough either. It's annoying when this girl in the office says it all the time, even when people are chain-sneezing, she won't give up.

I imagine that would really annoy me. Once is enough, twice is acceptable, but the third sneeze onward should not warrant a further response.

I hate it when people say "Bless you" after someone sneezes.

HATE IT.

Deus tibi benedicas.

I do, but always by burping a word for bottom which rhymes with parse. The duality of man.
