What happened to "You're welcome!" as a response to "Thank You"? It's not even included in the canned answers on an apple watch. Have we as a society abandoned it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm sure I get considered rude once in a while, but I just don't acknowledge when people sneeze.

We don't acknowledge virtually any other noise that other humans make outside of normal conversation. I'm on the boat of sneezes are just another weird noise we make, there's no requirement to acknowledge them.

This isn't the middle ages anymore where a sneeze had way different implications related to illness and death. And I don't know of any faiths that truly believe the old "soul leaving your body" 'origin' story either.
