Will you find me rude if I don't reply to your Mahalo answer?

No, I don't think it is rude if you ask them nicely. They're being even more rude, because everybody KNOWS you should cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. It might be more diplomatic to just put a box of tissues within their reach, if they have enough sense to take the hint.

So it might be very embarrasing for an adult if you ask directly to stop throwing germs on me. I think the best way is to say politely "I think you are not feeling good, and offer them some tissue paper. Please let me know any thing else I can do for you."

At the same time you should protect yourself from the germs, its never rude to protect yourself. Germs have no politeness or rudeness:). Growing age when brings lots of experience also gives increased senstivity to adults.

The thing is children are more open to suggestion than grown ups. But in the era of swine flu and other airborne diseases, I bet it's okay to tell others to not spray others.

I would say, the question is "Is it rude to cough or sneeze all over everyone." If someone is coughing or sneezing on you, it's hardly rude to ask them to stop. If this offends them, it is because THEY are selfish, not because YOU were being rude, as long as you ask in a polite manner.

The manner in which you ask them to do this would be the difference between being rude and being polite, as in don't fly off the handle and chew them out right from the get-go, just politely inform them that they are spreading germs to others through their behavior. Just use your judgement in who and how you approach, as with anything. I would say, the question is "Is it rude to cough or sneeze all over everyone."

Most adults take it as an insult. It usually depends, I always used to tell my parents to cover their mouth if they were about to sneeze. I didn't ask them I would just tell them, I would yell out "Cover you mouth".

They wouldn't take it as an insult though, even my father who always took everything in a bad way. They would just be like "How come YOU never cover YOUR mouth", or "I can sneeze anyway I want to". But if it's an adult you don't know very well, I would just flinch and hopefully that would remind them to cover their mouth.

I would just get away from them as soon as I knew they were going to blow. Most adults take it as an insult. It usually depends, I always used to tell my parents to cover their mouth if they were about to sneeze.

I don't think it's rude at all. People should learn to have manners. With all the worry about the swine flu, I don't see why people can't cover their mouths.
