I like to find the woman with the biggest, bushiest head of hair around and cough right into her mane. - Max Oct 13, 09:26 1

I have always tended to cough (or sneeze) into my elbow, so I guess I don't notice if anyone else does it, as it's "normal" for me. -- nm - kelly Oct 13, 09:21 3
- Yup, me as well. -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 13, 09:24
- While I've always done the old coughing into the fist, as do many. It's so obviously useless, though, if you think about it even a little. -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 09:24
- me too, i think. -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 09:22
I thought that was for sneezing. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 09:17 1
- in germ terms (heh) it's identical. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 09:18
I never heard of that before. If I do cough, it'll be into my hand. It's tradition. - Loyola Oct 13, 09:11
I always wear short-sleeve shorts ... so, no. But then again, I don't cough very often. I sneeze a lot. - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:06 2
- Why would you be coughing into you leg anyway? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 09:16 1
  - typo. Shirts. I'm not that bendy ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:46
I've always done the vampire cough. It seemed stupid to cough into your hand that is then going to touch everything. -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 09:05 1
- me too. After you're trained in sterile technique it's the only thing taht makes sense, I think. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 09:18
I do this, and my dry-cleaner thanks me -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 09:03
Yes and yes. I've done some damage on the bottles of hand sanitizer around here, though. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 13, 09:03
I've been coughing into my sleeve for about 2 years. It still seems kind of gross though. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 09:01 1
- way less gross than hands if you ask me. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 09:19
I've seen it. I don't do it since I seem to miss my elbow and sneeze all over the floor or myself. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 09:01
