One can see that you really do live in the Bible belt. Those of us who live in the relatively civilized parts of the country do not hear that particular bit of bullshit very often. Except when someone sneezes, and some fool says "bless you" instead of "Gesundheit," which is what more civilized people say. (For those who need it, "Gesundheit" is simply wishing someone good health.)
And yes, it is irritating when someone "blesses" one.
