      it doesn’t move

      “Yup. Something did come out when I sneezed earlier.”

      That’s the problem with sneezing while gaming. Usually you’re all good, but if you aren’t, you’ll find out later when there isn’t a million colours flashing around the screen and ya gotta wet it again to wipe it off properly… Of course you could just cover your face, but that’s when the school kids seem to know exactly when to kill you.

        Other problems with sneezing while gaming include but are not limited to:

        • Walking off cliffs
        • Accidentally driving into pedestrians or other cars in stead of doing so intentionally
        • Smiting the wrong villagers
        • Accidentally casting fireball on the town guard
        • Shooting a teammate
        • Fumbling the ball and/or running right into a defensive player
        • Accidentally building a police station in stead of a fire station
        • Walking off the platform to be eaten by sentient fungi
        • Failing to execute a sweet combo

        Depending on which game you’re playing, of course.

          I think all of this I have had and much of it many times. I simrace too. Sneezing online can be brutal. But sneezing single player, you pause, thinking you’re safe. Sneeze. Then realise you’re paused mid corner at insane speed and you have NO idea what angle the wheel was at and how far the pedal was depressed.
