We all get the sniffles sometimes. Occasionally a sneeze comes out of nowhere and can be quite startling to those around who were not expecting a snotty explosion, and the accompanying ATTTTTISHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO! Just this morning, as i was sound asleep, both me and the dog were awoken by Mr Grump letting rip an almighty sneeze!
For most of us, it is a minor annoyance when someone dares to disturb our peace by letting out an unfettered sneeze, however, one middle-aged man in the north of england, has taken offence by these sniffy snufflers and has taken to whacking them around the head!
Maybe he has some sort of germ phobia, or perhaps he is sensitive to sudden outbursts of noise, but either way, he is taking things a little bit far here. He is not shy in letting his disapproval be known either. He clouted the first middle-aged victim in the middle of Carlisle city centre when she inadvertently sneezed in the middle of shopping. He then disappeared before she had realised what had hit her (literally in this case)!
The other poor victim was an elderly lady who got smacked around the head when she too let out an unexpected sneeze. She was pretty upset and shaken, and again, the weird whacker had disappeared before anyone could do anything.
Th police are now calling for witnesses and are desperately trying to catch this nasty nutter before he does it again. After all, spring is just around the corner, and not only are people still likely to be suffering from the usual colds, but hay fever could well be added to the nix, thereby doubling the list of potential victims!
I sat next to a man on the plane recently who wiped ever single surface with disinfectant, then covered his face with a tissue. I wondered why he didn’t just wear a mask and gloves. It would have served the same purpose and been much easier. I snuffled and gave him a big slurpy kiss when I crawled out over him to go to the bathroom. (not really)

Hi Mark, thanks for coming over and commenting. It must be awful having allergies that make you sneeze all the time, Some people are silly to call you names as it is not funny!

I was drawn to this because of the title, I mean, what an alliteration! This post is so funny! My advice: people should go to places in pairs, that way, when that smacker smacks, the buddy could grab him and take him to the victim first, and then the proper authorities.

Hi Leanne and welcome. I like your way of thinking, letting the victims deal with him first! 🙂

What a crazy lunatic! I wonder if he himself has ever sneezed (of course he does!) and whether he whacks himself on the side of the head when it happens

Ha Ha! Well if he doesn’t whack himself when he sneezes I am sure there would be a huge queue of volunteers willing to do so!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
