I saw a woman at the train station today who was *fighting for her life* against a sneeze!! Nostrils flaring, rubbing her nose, breath hitching, eyes half closing, everything. She went in and out of that kind of ‘on the verge of sneezing’ look a few times, until it was pretty obvious that she was going to lose control (I was almost passed out by this point).
I was so hoping it would be a big, powerful sneeze, but instead she sneezed three huge stifles, like “HhhGNNKK!” Big breath “HuhGGHHNNKK!” Big breath “HUH-CCNNK!” (I can’t spell stifles!!)
At this point the combination of her (likely) hay fever and mine were making *me* need to sneeze, but then my train came, so I managed to hold it back!
