I work in a office w/ about 5 or 6 other people and none of them say bless you when someone sneezes. I say bless you to them when they do and they done even say thank you. I dont really know any of them personally and they all seem to be nice pepole so I dont get it. I say it to everyone when they sneeze even people I dont know. Its kinda like exscuse me or thank you. Was i raised to say it or are all the people I work with assholes?

I know what you mean, I've worked with people who never say bless you whenever someone sneezes. I would be the only one. I'm not sure if it means they're assholes or they're just not accustomed to saying bless you. You should just carry on being yourself and keep saying bless you.

You shouldn't even ask. Just because other people don't do it doesn't mean you have to conform. STAND UP and stand up for the BLESS YOU and carry on forward. But you have to stop going right up to peoples faces and smiling at them whilst offering them a bit from your lemon drizzle cake (that is a tad crazy)

Yeah, pretty much sounds like you work with a bunch of jerks. You just say it out of consideration or the way you were brought up, which most normal people do. I wouldn't let it get to you though if they don't say it back. Simply, just don't say it anymore even if its a natural for you. Possibly they have different religion beliefs.

You're not crazy. It's the polite thing to say. Keep it up. If those coworkers don't say it, it's okay. At least you can be rest assured that you're a nice person.
