jsharr ★ Posted January 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2019 They have no chance at stopping a sneeze. I just end up with a turn up piece of tissue, and stuff that should be on my mucus membranes on things other than my mucus membranes. They are useless for cleaning anything, esp. glasses after a failed Kleenex sneeze. At best, they are good for a gentle exhalation through ones nostrils and nothing more. discus.

JerrySTL ★ Posted January 10, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2019 Go with double ply toilet tissue instead. Preferably unused. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an issue that civilized people solved decades ago. Or sneeze into the crook of your elbow as all the cool kids are being taught these days and then scrap off the expulsions - single ply Kleenex works for that or so I've been told.

jsharr ★ Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted January 10, 2019 The box clearly says 2-ply tissues/mouchoirs 2 epaisseurs 8.2 x 8.4 in / 20.8 x 21.3 cm I think I was sneezing in standard but holding the tissue in metric. If I convert my sneezes to French and/or metric, will I have better luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably believe cigarettes cause cancer just because it's written on the side of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I use a whole tree to sneeze on if I am in the woods. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted January 10, 2019 Share #7 Posted January 10, 2019 If you truly cared about the environment you would just use your sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted January 10, 2019 Share #8 Posted January 10, 2019 This time of year just about every pocket I have has tissues or paper towels in them. Jeans, sweat pants, all jackets, probably even a hoodie or two. All the cold air of the season makes for a lot of wiping. That's ok; it's good to get out and enjoy the crisp fresh air of winter! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wear sleeveless shirts in the winter to show how tough we are. Since I work in an office environment, I rip the sleeves off my dress shirt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
