I've just jumped out my skin. The Woman near me just sneezed so loud. Why do people do that? why cant people sneeze quietly?? or at least normally? Do they have to let out a screeching howl??

When I eventually asked, a colleague explained that the chap concerned had the most explosive sneezes which startled everyone around him. They had worked out an equitable solution whereby whenever he felt a sneeze approaching he rapped the table to alert those around him of its impending arrival and giving them time to brace themselves.
I had never noticed the sneezes and once I had had my attention drawn to them, I found them to be quite weeny when compared to my Dads..
