I was doing math homework and I sneezed twice.
My friend said "you are turning into me, I always sneeze twice". I replied "I always sneeze twice as well".

It will be interesting to survey how many times do people usually sneeze. Let's pretend we are in an environment with no dust, allergy, or chills. Just on a normal day, under normal conditions, if you happen to sneeze, how many times? Please vote below your best estimate.

Apparently, sudden exposure to bright light can also cause one to sneeze, according to Wikipedia. I wonder if it is true for any of you? I've never experienced it.

Mandatory video, very cool:

Ya, I have sun-sneezed. Typically after walking into pretty intense sunlight without any form of gradiant, just, boom, sunlight, wait two seconds, then sneeze.

Just once though.
If you can do it; you should do it every time.

Twice, right after each other.. I have this bad habbit of trying to hold it in, so it just sounds like "AAAARRRARRARRRANNNNGFGGGGGGGHHHH"-"AAAARRRARRARRRANNNNGFGGGGGGGHHHH" - Then followed by facial spasms..

Needless to say, I look and sound completely retarded when I sneeze

If you ever get the feeling of having the sneeze and it doesn't come out, best thing to do is to look at a bright light and imitate sneezing :-p.

Im a two. On rare occasion i can get three out but its mostly two.

I think the bright light sneezing thing doesn't happen in everyone. I've had it happen hundreds of times in my 19 year long life but I've mentioned it and had some people look at me like I'm crazy...
I don't always write a quote, but when I do, it's always this one.

I thought this for a while as well but then one day, I actually remember sneezing once and then containing the others. Interesting experience.

I hang out sometimes over night with friends at IOS internet cafe (appearantly TLO and MorroW hang out there as well ^_^), and when you get out from a more or less dark hall to a the bright sunlight I always sneeze.
It has to be sunlight though, and from relative darkness into bright sunlight for me to sneeze, but I almost always do during those circumstances.
I think it's like that for 30% of the population or something like that.

Edit. Once. Always once. I tend to hold back the second one.

Weird, I was thinking about asking this just the other day to TL while walking back from class. I almost consistently sneeze twice in the same breath when exposed to sunlight/ bright lights, a "double sneeze" if you will. I know only my grandmother on my dad's side also has this trait.

What I would like to ask you all though is have you ever had a long chain of sneezes? I am talking six or more within a pretty short time frame during regular conditions (such as your room or office). I've hit ten at least twice within these last two weeks and that's been pretty standard throughout my life.

Sucks on how hot I feel after it though, and teachers would always send me out of the room so they could talk.

Always twice unless I actively try to resist the second sneeze.

Eating mints makes me sneeze (twice) as well. Does this happen to anyone else? All my friends think I'm weird for sneezing in pairs and being unable to eat mints without sneezing.

yep, looking at bright light can trigger sneezing or help you sneeze. i actually learnt the medical explanation for it a while ago, but i've long since forgotten haha

i thought i always sneeze once, but now that i think about it, it may be twice. will have to think about it next time i sneeze haha. i have really bad hay fever.

I thought it was universal too. I was astounded when some of my friends didn't know what I was talking about when I told them that bright light does that to me almost every time.
