Scariest sneeze ever!

[<Rhino>]

On my way to work this morning comming round the inlet towards Proriua, I could feel the itch you get in your nose before you sneeze. Holy hell I thought....then blam I couldn't hold back, couldn't get my visor open, in the middle of a left hand bend.............sneeze sneeze sneeze.

Fuck me, I'm thinking where the fucks the road, can't keep my eyes open, so I just ease off the throttle and keep leaning - by the time I stop sneezing and get my eyes open looking through the splatters on the inside of my visor I was still just inside my lane - so with a little more of a lean I was out of the corner and away again.

First thought was "well that was somthing new" and had a little chuckle at the splatter that was now running down the inside of my visor. Could have been alot worse on a faster stretch of road!

I'm sure its nothing new and many a rider would have experienced this - thought it was funny, feel free to share you experiences

[TOTO]

had it happen on a number of times.

The best thing you can do is lift up your visor prior to you sneezing.
It helps :yes:

[Mom]

Pillioning behind Maha one night I felt this enourmous sneeze building. Sure enough, out it came and I cracked my helmet against his :o

Next thing I know he has grabbed up a handful of front brake and I bang helemts again...LOL He thought I had fallen asleep and gave me a heads up jolt to wake me up :lol:

Yayess.
That's what I do.
I've also found out that although it's seemingly impossible to keep your eyes open when you sneeze (what's up with that? is it to stop the backlash or summat?!?) you CAN keep one eye open, if you shut one eye before you sneeze. :2thumbsup

Found it is impossible to keep eyes open so I just try and slow down is able. Must be scary on a corner though! Just lucky I don't do my regular 16 sneezes at one time, while riding!
I do find it hard to blow my nose so have to let the snot run down into my mouth and suck it in, hoping that the dried trail is not evident when I take my helmet off!!:sweatdrop

[vifferman]

I ... have to let the snot run down into my mouth and suck it in

[Stirts]

I hate the ones when you sneeze, fart and wee all at the same time :eek5:

[pixc]

Isnt 7 or so sneezes in a row equivalent to an orgasm?--- pass me the pepper!

The funniest, scariest sneeze i have EVER seen was from my son. 5 years old. Eating McDonalds fries, and he sneezed. Half a chip lodged up in the back of his nose. The chip obviously started going down the throat, and was forced back up into the nose when he sneezed. Well...how do you deal with that. It was stuck in there..he was freaking out. When he finally managed to blow the chip out, I couldn't believe the size of it. Then he got shitty at me...for not telling him to Not sneeze when you are eating/swallowing food.

[Quailboy]

Oh yes! Sneezing while eating is extremely scary.

Sitting across the table from some very poshy friends of my parents, just started chewing a peice of potatoe. Shit! That little tickle began... so I chewed as fast as was humanly possible to get this potatoe swollowable. But I was too late... whoooosh! And when I opened my eyes, I saw the now mashed potatoe sprayed all over the table in front me. Fail.

Damn..I can relate to that.
Ive learnt not to eat a tin of olives or a hot curry, then play in a field of flowers later if your allergic. :shit:

[Skyryder]

I know a guy who crashed a bus and hit a lamp post on the other side of the road sneezing. Well that was his excuse.

So anything is possible.

Might be a better excuse for topping a tagger.:Oi: He sneezed and fell onto my knife:Playnice:

Yep it's just one of those days.

Nahhhh that's bullshit! Everyone knows that if you sneeze with your eyes open your eyeballs will pop right out and then hang down under your chin and dangle all about. I read it in Calvin and Hobbes so it MUST be true!

I find that sunlight makes me sneeze. Many a time I've come out of a corner and the sunstrike gives me shocking sneezes.

Does this happen to anyone else?

You have Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst or ACHOO Syndrome!

Years ago, I used to commute 2 up through the Dome Valley. Every morning at the same place on the road, the sun was right in your face. My pillion was one of those ACHOO sufferers. Man she used to sneeze and sneeze and sneeze. Quite a strange feeling when your pillion is multi sneezing. I used to laugh at the same time. Heaven knows what other road users thought of 2 mad females heading south just past 8am each day :lol:

[riffer]

Is this for real?

yip yip. If ya see me looking at the sun with a smile on my face..LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

[slofox]

Loss of vision in a corner......yerrrrr. That can be scary.
Many years ago I was wont to ride the Port Hills Rd above Christchurch in the dead of night....god alone knows why but it was a regular.
This road is quite high and in those days anyway, had no barriers at the edges...you had a vertical face to bang into on your right and a vertical drop to fall off of on your left. (Incidentally, that is exactly what the late archer, Neroli Fairhall did, god rest her soul).
One dark and moonless night I was just heading into a long sweeping right hander when all the lights on the bike went out - POOF!! I was left in total darkness, knowing that if I turned too hard I would hit the cliff face and if I did not turn enough I would have a very exhilarating (temporarily anyway) freefall, followed by a very sudden and probably terminal stop.
Lucked out and managed to stop before either happened. Then had to push the bike all the way down to the nearest phone to call for another light bulb...no vision = no good.

:Oops: reminds me of the time my boy stuck two chips up his nose, broke an end off while up there - took a bit of puffing to get it out, when it did finaly fly out.... well I'm sure you can imagine!

Man kids can produce a lot of snot!! :gob:

Kids are great like that.
When our eldest was very small, he stuck one of those strange little banana-shaped iceplant 'leaves' up his nose. He couldn't get it out, and got a bit distressed with us trying. So, we waited until he was asleep, then got some tweezers to try to extract it. Every time I nearly got a grip on it, it would tickle his nose, and he'd snort, so it would go back up. After a few minutes, it'd slide back down again and I'd have another go. Took a few attempts, but we were successful in the end. Some snot may have helped, but then on the other hand, may have made it too slippery to grapple with.

OMG - thank goodness I'm not the only one who suffers from seezeathons! As for the snot sucking thing...as unattractive as it is it is rather difficult to pull out your hankie whilst splitting down the motorway in rush (should be called STOPPED) hour traffic.


I hate the ones when you sneeze, fart and wee all at the same time :eek5:

mmmmm wait till you've had a kid then come talk to me. All I can say is that you become a huge fan of the pelvic floor muscle exercises as a matter of necessity and not just cos it's fun to have super dooper orgasms :buggerd:


Isnt 7 or so sneezes in a row equivalent to an orgasm?--- pass me the pepper!

:weep: if it was I wouldn't mind it so much. Not once have I felt like I've had an orgasm after one of my regular sneezeathons...not even close :weep:


I find that sunlight makes me sneeze. Many a time I've come out of a corner and the sunstrike gives me shocking sneezes.

Does this happen to anyone else?

OMG YES!!!! I thought I was just weird (well I know I am...but in relation to sneezing I mean)...praise the lord I am so happy to hear that it isn't just me :2thumbsup Bloody dangerous - suffered quite bad this morning actually heading up the new Mark Ave extension. Sun glaring right in my eyes...not long awake (seems worse than ever when I am tired/not quite awake) and trying to go round the nice sweepy corners...nice new tarmack :blip: and then OH NO....a sneezeathon to the power of 10 :oi-grr:


I googled it, so it must be.

WOW! I feel heaps better about this now :2thumbsup even if it is bullshit I don't care...it's on the internet so it MUST be true...I am not alone with this affliction :banana:

[Ragingrob]

Got a bloody bee in my bonnet that other week when I was in the Coromandel, struggled not to freak out haha and there wasn't really anywhere to pull over. I ended up flipping my visor up and just hoping that it wouldn't fling straight into my eye! Couldn't see it anymore so I just hoped it was gone and continued riding. Yesterday, 3 weeks later, I looked in my helmet and there it was dead somehow squished near the back of my neck :lol:

[Keith_Eldred]

I never considered this danger before (not a biker), and it's scary to think of.

Sneezing is my interest. Actually, trying to establish a new way to respond to a sneeze - with a whistle. It's called a Gazoon High Twizzle, a mondegreen of "Gesundheit whistle." See it in animation at <a href="http://www.gazoonhightwizzle.com">GazoonHighTwizzle.com</a>.

Stay safe, Kiwi Bikers.

Embarrasingly I can relate. I have infact had a car accident whilst sneezing.. Most embarrasing thing I have ever done.
Picture an early saturday morning on a quiet cul-de-sac in urban Whangarei.
I am 6mths pregnant with the worlds largest baby and on my way to a garage sale. Driving our large 11 seater van I start to turn right round the first corner out of our street and feel a sneeze coming... Eyes close and I sneezed 3 times, I was not worried, it was a wide road and I knew it very well. Opened my eyes a nano second after I had finished to see a brand spanking new Nissan Primera parked on the side of the road and appox 3mtrs directly in front of my drivers seat. Tried to take evasive action and managed to do squat. :stupid: Vans really are not great at evasive action.
Anyway rammed the car with the front left of the van and everything came to a sudden halt.
Poor bloody people. First thing they know about their car getting hit was hearing knocking on their door at 6.30am on a saturday morning and seeing a very pale, very scared looking pregnant women standing on their front porch having contractions and an asthma attack. They were very supportive if not a little incredulous when I told them I hit their (company) car because I sneezed.
Funny part was later in hospital after all had calmed down I was relating to the staff what had happened...sneeze etc. When my mobile rang. A nurse answered it for me and put it on speaker phone for me to hear.
"Hi its the manager of the Whangarei mental health facility here, (or whatever their name was) just wanting to check you are ok. We were quite worried about you."
Turns out they were the company the car belonged to.
All my friends and the staff got a real kick out of that and I got hassled about it for months.

Ha ha ha this is great! Keith (and all those Mandy Greens) good luck with your project and thanks for visiting us here at Kiwi Biker! You're doing a great promotional job alright.

You should really talk to Mr Hitcher on this site. He keeps us all amused with mondegreens and is the reason a surprising number of Kiwi Bikers know what they are.

I luvs mondegreens.... is there another name for em?

[Lilly2w]

Did you know that if you press your tongue to the roof of your mouth when you feel a sneeze coming on it can stop/delay it? It really helps if you feel one coming on at the wrong time! is esp. good with those sneezes that don't quite happen and make you pull funny faces and say ooo, sorry thought I was going to sneeze then....

[Seroom]

If you feel a sneeze coming and simply do not have time to lift the visor.

Pull in your bottom lip and jaw, push your top lip out over your bottom lip and down and direct the sneeze pressure downward. Out of the helmet if you are not wearing a scarf or muffler. Practice this everytime you sneeze so that when you are on the bike you will do it instinctivly.

Also I pull in the clutch and throttle-off so the convulsion does not cause any problems with the throttle.
