Which hand to use when sneezing and coughing

I am doing this post strictly for my sister

who is a Germaphobe and would like everyone to

know the correct way to sneeze or cough!

So here you go:

When sneezing or coughing use your left hand to cover you face.

keeping your right hand clean and sanitary for

shaking hands, opening doors, etc.

and of course... wash your hands often!

Shaking Hands : A little Classic Etiquette

Classic etiquette never gets old for me...

Here is a little excerpt from Emily Post

original chapter on greetings.

SHAKING HANDS

Gentlemen always shake hands when they are
introduced to each other. Ladies rarely do so with gentlemen who are introduced
to them; but they usually shake hands with other ladies, if they are standing
near together. All people who know each other, unless merely passing by, shake
hands when they meet.
A gentleman on the street never shakes
hands with a lady without first removing his right glove. But at the opera, or
at a ball, or if he is usher at a wedding, he keeps his glove on.

Oh how I love a good white glove reference!
