Manners still matter when you're sick.

I feel like manners can sometimes take a back seat when people get sick, especially when it comes to coughing and sneezing.

English On The Go

It feels like as soon as some people get sick that their manners just go out the window …

coughing in people's faces, sneezing everywhere.

And I get it. They're in a bad mood, and they're not themselves when they're sick.

But there's a right way and a wrong way to cough or sneeze in public.

The most common way I see is people just holding their hand over their mouth like this.

It's a nice gesture, but ultimately it's ineffective because a cough or a sneeze can just go right through your fingers.

I've seen other people use the inside of their elbow,

but if you have smaller arms like mine, then they won't block anything.

And I've even seen people sneeze into their coat. Kind of makes them look like a vampire or something.

And this works more or less, but then you have to get your clothes dry-cleaned every time you get sick.

So I found that the best solution is to just use a regular handkerchief like this.

It completely stops any cough or sneeze, and as a bonus it also keeps your hands and clothes nice and clean.

It's the perfect solution. Just remember to wash it sometimes. Ew.
