A Sikh guy at work...

[WHD]

It's an utterly meaningless phrase anyway. I have worked with Sikh blokes in London and not one of them mentioned anything about their religion.

They probably didn't have to , the turban probably gave it away.

Top folk who fought for us during the war

So did muslims and hindus, tbf.

When I say mention I mean "mention" ie not try to talk to you about it or proselytise to use a big word.

I know it's petty but I fuckin hate it when people bless me when I sneeze. Don't even know why but it just annoys the shit out of me, just let me sneeze without thinking I need blessed.

Bang on mate....does me tits in being a non religious type of git.

Well apparently when you sneeze you are at the most vulnerable to possession. So the blessings help you. Stop being so ungrateful.

I met an older Sikh bloke once who was very pro British and told me he had even written to the queen cos he was a bit pissed off that the Sikhs didn't have their own regiment in the army the way the Gurkhas do and he wanted it started.

Possibly but it's just annoying. Then there's the added pressure of having to thank them for annoying you. An enjoyable experience of a sneeze can turn into an absolute nightmare.

Apparently 4 sneezes in a row, the body releases the same amount of endorphin's as a orgasm..........Pass the pepper please.

You going to throw it in your lasses face so she can see what she's been missing

Oof!

 

[supernaut1968]

Thought this was because of the plague. people would say bless you because sneezing was one of the first symptoms.

 

[PinzaC55]

Why don't we say bless you when people fart ? If a demon was going to come out of anywhere it would be your ringpiece.

 

[StripedPaddy]

...just sneezed and I instinctively said 'bless you' to him. He's a top bloke, so I'm sure he wasn't bothered, but what's the culturally perspicacious SMB's opinion on this? Was I in the wrong? Should I have thought before speaking? Does it not matter?

Nah, get over it you over reacting hunchback.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Seikh help

 

[ir35]

Did you just say "bless you" or did you say "Catholic blessings upon you, you heathen, perhaps now you may see the light and embrace the love of our Lord saviour, Jesus Christ"? Because if it was just the first one, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Slightly off topic but I always used to like the inclusive way Dave Allen used to end his shows "Goodnight, thank you, and may your God go with you"
He was an atheist himself iirc

His mates will be after you (turban and taliban both have a ban) - hide and sikh from now on...
