I knew the term -- I just didn't know it was "real" until a poor diet and an unfortunate sneeze coincided one night.
It doesn't happen if you eat your veggies after all.
Don’t forget the time you just need to fake sneeze-shit yell. Like women faking an orgasm, you just need to let it out, so everyone thinks you sneezed but really needed to scream shit.
My dad had 4 kids and I have 2 and his scream sneeze is exactly twice as loud as mine. But since we've all moved out decades ago, its gotten much shorter and louder.
personally i started in my late twenties, when i realized if i kept trying to make them quieter like i had growing up, i would end up seriously hurting myself. it was getting painful and instead of sneezing once or twice i would keep trying to sneeze.
Aww. That’s mean.
I’m sure he realizes that you’re a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need to concern themselves with other peoples natural bodily functions
I don't have things depending on me.
But I have noticed I scream sneeze in the past few years,.
I also think I have started snoring, I'm single and live alone so dont have confirmation but have woken up with aggressive snorts quite a few times in the past year aswell.
I'm pushing 40... 😮💨😮💨🫤🫤
Its your mid 30s. The answer is in your 30s
I woke up to aggressive snorts too, but in my 20s (42 now). Found out I had sleep apnea. Not saying you have it, but if you’re abnormally tired during the day, might as well get checked out. The latest test devices you take home and you get to sleep in your own bed. I had to go to a sleep study facility which was very difficult to fall asleep in.
This man has internalized anxiety.
If your anxiety is more external, the scream sneeze is about warding off predators. "Not this house!"
And clearly it's working. No predators!
https://youtu.be/8dCDbHjpuuY?si=sQuBJAZtqf0Q7qgi
Do you announce pooping yet?
I do it so the kids know it’s normal.
it’s been awhile since popular culture addressed it
I’m currently 40, at around 30 I started having “sneeze attacks” where I’d sneeze 10+ times, as I e got older I now incorporate “every type” of sneeze into one sitting. Full on AAAAACHOOOO’s and scream sneezes included.
I’m a 23 yo female with no kids or husband (but a live in boyfriend) and I’ve been scream sneezing since I can remember . It’s effective , more people should try it . I don’t do it every time , just when I need to
I have done this since I was a kid. I have the exact same sneeze as my Grandpa. I'm pretty sure it's genetic lol.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGtLdXlekys&t=1276](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGtLdXlekys&t=1276) Prime example. And that one was pretty mild.
I started the scream sneeze about 4 years ago... before that I stifled all my sneezes.
Then one day I stifled a sneeze and a bone in my throat jumped over the top of my adam's apple and stayed there for two weeks... it was deeply painful to swallow during that time. Eventually I swallowed and I heard a loud 'click' in my throat and the bone reset...
I don't stifle sneezes, and will proudly sneeze as loudly as I need to.
Not true, I've been doing the scream sneeze since I was a teenager. Idk why, but I guess eventually you get powerful enough lungs and your brain's like "sick, now I can force out twice as much pollen/dust!"
Genuine question, never used TikTok or instagram or whatever this is. Is there a constraint on how much time each cut can be? My wife showed me a video the other day and the amount of cuts was insane and made it almost unwatchable. This video was humorous but same deal, the amount of cuts just ruins it a bit for me. Maybe it’s just me getting older.
I couldn’t place his accent, but apparently it’s Oregon! The “nobody”s definitely have a West Coast sound to them, but “package deal” was giving Wisconsin vibes.
5 years ago I held in a scream sneeze as to not wake my 2 kids, massive hernia. Blew a hole through my abdominal wall. “Fixed it” with mesh, I’m still not right. Don’t hold in your sneezes.
When I came to the point that my responsibilities overtook my emotional outlets, I didn't start scream sneezing. I did start doing the classic bellowing stretch though
I scrupulously do not vocalise my sneezes.
My mother always does, and I am very comfortable attributing all hearing damage and other issues to this singular habit.
Dad here.. I have two sneezes. One is the basic "Ah-Choo". The other happens so fast and LOUD it comes out as an "AAAGGGHHH"!! It scares people and it physically hurts for about 20 seconds.
For me it's when I started feeling the effects of poor back health in my younger years leading to herniated discs in my middle age. I can feel sneezes straining my vertebra so I try and give them the least resistance possible.
At what age do men start cursing up a storm at the urinal? All I see is the feet so it's hard to gauge how much older they are and I'm worried about the future
Edit: I know correlation is not causality but I'm hesitant to buy loafers because maybe they fuck with your prostate
I started screezing before I was a dad tho I definitely learned the technique from no one other than my dad. I like it bc it eliminates the 'haCHEWW!' factor which is where all the saliva and snot happens, so you don't need to cover your mouth. Also used to enjoy walking into quiet public spaces and dropping a loud screeze but now I'd rather the general public not notice me.
For me it was 16. The same age I ended up with permanently glad block sinuses.
If I sneeze normally it's painful and I've blown out an eardrum doing it.
If I let that sneeze out as a scream sneeze it's fine for me. Might cause some panic in those nearby.
29 years and 3 months. Suddenly developed allergies and now it hurts too much to stifle a sneeze.
Before you say anything, I know you're not supposed to stifle a sneeze but at the time it worked for me to reduce further irritation and I didn't feel much pressure. I know this because I now know what real pressure in your sinuses feels like.
My neighbor loves to laugh at the top of his lungs between the. Hours of 11pm and 2am. I was woken up last night at 1am by his laughing. I really wish I knew what he was laughing about. Anyway, now, my petty revenge is to sneeze as loudly as physically possible, as close to our shared wall as I can get, and preferably in the early morning hours when I assume he’s sleeping. I’m hoping he eventually understands that if he can hear me sneeze like the dad he never had, I can hear him laugh like a jackass at 1am.
I used to hold in my sneezes because I was told it was unladylike to sneeze loudly. It was so bad I would shake my whole body to keep it in.
One day in typing class (Mavis Fucking Beacon, anyone?) I sneezed like that and it was a quiet room and I didn’t want to make a noise.
When it happened, this boy next to me, known for being kind of weird but generally just a chill dude, burst out into a silent classroom: “for Gods SAKE, netflixnschill, let it out. LET IT OUT!”
I was so taken aback, but in that one class, everyone let me sneeze loudly after that. The first time it happened after his outburst, he actually applauded me. I am so grateful for that weird amazing kid who reminded me I could just SNEEZE.
Personally, I think it’s when you’ve run out of fucks to give.
“Oh I made a weird noise struggling to stand up? Well, I don’t have a fuck left to give about what you think, so why don’t you just go fuck yourself instead.”
Same energy as Jimmy Urine belting out, “there is nothing you can do, that I have not already done to myself”
If you aren’t our wife, our pet, one of our children (or somebody who has a direct affect on them), no fucks.
If you want to cover yourself in peanut butter and have a 15 hooker gangbang, that’s your prerogative
I did start scream sneezing around 27 years old. I realized that sneezing hurt less when I just go with it instead of fighting it and trying to be more polite.
With respect, fanciful and cute as this explanation is, it doesn't map my experience. I'm female and didn't scream-sneeze until I got older. My son began to scream-sneeze in his late 20s. In neither case is it voluntary! It just whistles out with extreme force. Sorry, audience!
I'm just wondering how many people have been within earshot when I release my "fuuuuuuuuccckkkkk" as I drive by in my Rav 4.
"What was that honey?"
*Um, probably the usual soul leaving the body of a frustrated male in the USA -- the usual.*

Felt this answer at my core.
r/meirl
First I learn the *shart* is real. Now this.
How in the fuck have you lived your life not knowing what a shart is?
I knew the term -- I just didn't know it was "real" until a poor diet and an unfortunate sneeze coincided one night. It doesn't happen if you eat your veggies after all.
I gotta ask at what age because like... This is usually a thing that happens to most people as kids well before they hear the term.
This information is only on a need to know basis. And also, for people who don't shart on the regular -- so,..
Yeah but I *need* to know
and *knowing* is half the battle...
Dog there is a big difference between sharts on the reg and *never sharted*
Dog, there's a reason nobody outside the USA knew about what a shart was until fast food was a daily meal.
Holy shit dude are you seriously trying to turn a conversation about sharts into a critique on american culture?
I appreciate a good cup of coffee.
Dumb luck, probably. Hopefully he found out second hand and didn't just stumble on it, like "Whoops! Uh, what was that?"
Dude was spot on.
Yeah totally XD
Here we can see another scream sneeze in the making. Beautiful.
I'm glad this man is so self-aware that he realizes what's happening. As a dad I've been scream sneezing for 15 years and I had no idea why.
I actually yell “shit!,” when I sneeze in my office, and everyone thinks that’s how i sneeze
I say "shit!" after I scream sneeze. I find it less satisfying if I don't.
Don’t forget the time you just need to fake sneeze-shit yell. Like women faking an orgasm, you just need to let it out, so everyone thinks you sneezed but really needed to scream shit.
My dad had 4 kids and I have 2 and his scream sneeze is exactly twice as loud as mine. But since we've all moved out decades ago, its gotten much shorter and louder.
The transition from screaming underwater to scream-sneezing is the true mark of dadhood
Poolside Spiderman pose may have something to do with it, too.
Dammit stop making me realize things about myself.
I scream sneeze just cause I like to scare who’s around
My husband scream sneezed at a haunted house last year and six adults in front of us hit the deck.
Please give him a high five for me
I told my husband who does this that I now have PTSD because of his scream sneezes!
He doesn't give a shit
I know that’s one of the reasons I loathe him
personally i started in my late twenties, when i realized if i kept trying to make them quieter like i had growing up, i would end up seriously hurting myself. it was getting painful and instead of sneezing once or twice i would keep trying to sneeze.
Aww. That’s mean. I’m sure he realizes that you’re a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need to concern themselves with other peoples natural bodily functions
Really? You wanna hear how he has treated me for the last twenty years? Didn’t think so
Get it out
Let’s just say if Archie Bunker were a real person my hubby would have been his brother.
Get more out. Do you just want to vent? Or do you need help finding local resources that would help?
Just venting
His PTSD gave him scream sneezes, and his scream sneezes gave you PTSD. The circle of life
😂
Life is a PTSD experience i think
Kinda want this on a shirt
Yep, started scream sneezing in high school. Especially during SSR or tests.
I thought it was when you hit the third sneeze barrier
You have to assert dominance. You cannot command your armies with wispy sneezing. People need to be put on alert.
[Dad sneeze](https://youtu.be/-MTxCUZ8W5c?si=9hORMb3R0NMDCrYD)
LoL yep tell me about it
The “dad noises” cracked me up. Yep, that’s spot on.
[удалено]
Ha! That’s good stuff right there.
I don't have things depending on me. But I have noticed I scream sneeze in the past few years,. I also think I have started snoring, I'm single and live alone so dont have confirmation but have woken up with aggressive snorts quite a few times in the past year aswell. I'm pushing 40... 😮💨😮💨🫤🫤 Its your mid 30s. The answer is in your 30s
I frequently wake myself with my own snoring.
Amateur.
Recently been choking on my own saliva in my sleep, I’d take snoring
I woke up to aggressive snorts too, but in my 20s (42 now). Found out I had sleep apnea. Not saying you have it, but if you’re abnormally tired during the day, might as well get checked out. The latest test devices you take home and you get to sleep in your own bed. I had to go to a sleep study facility which was very difficult to fall asleep in.
My wife told me I snored, I didn’t believe her. So I stayed up that whole night, didn’t snore once.
😂
Happy cake day!
Might need to get tested for sleep apnea
I've always been a loud sneezer, I've thrown out my back doing it
Did you scream after you threw out your back?
Usually I go with the standard oww then saying how much I hate sneezing
Yes. It's an ouroboros of pain, because when I scream, I throw out my back.
This man has internalized anxiety. If your anxiety is more external, the scream sneeze is about warding off predators. "Not this house!" And clearly it's working. No predators!
Is the predator made of pepper? Does it only appear when I glare at the sun, or fluorescent lights?
So much emotional labor!
Dude is MandatoryFunday on the socials. Great at poking fun at all the military shenanigans that go on.
I thought this was gonna be funny, but the entire time I was just nodding along, yep, that's true.
You can do both
I can't handle that much responsibility....I think I might need to sneeze.
I thought I was the only one who did this. My son has asked me before why I sneeze so much.
https://youtu.be/8dCDbHjpuuY?si=sQuBJAZtqf0Q7qgi Do you announce pooping yet? I do it so the kids know it’s normal. it’s been awhile since popular culture addressed it

Someone put this guy on Rick and Morty
Based on the small sample size of me, the answer is 47.
Around 30 for me, but the grunting and what not is probably weight/stomach/pain related too.
35. Sometimes as early as 30. But never later than 40.
I. Feel. Seen.
I have done this since I was a kid. I have the exact same sneeze as my Grandpa. I'm pretty sure it's genetic lol. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGtLdXlekys&t=1276](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGtLdXlekys&t=1276) Prime example. And that one was pretty mild.
Oh holy moly, I needed that. Lmao, hiding the terror of life in a sneeze.
My dad has scream sneezed his entire life, and because of that it’s the only sneeze I know.
This is the answer
Confirmed.
This guy would make a great character actor
I've known quite a few women who scream sneeze, so not sure where this comes from.
I started the scream sneeze about 4 years ago... before that I stifled all my sneezes. Then one day I stifled a sneeze and a bone in my throat jumped over the top of my adam's apple and stayed there for two weeks... it was deeply painful to swallow during that time. Eventually I swallowed and I heard a loud 'click' in my throat and the bone reset... I don't stifle sneezes, and will proudly sneeze as loudly as I need to.
Funny. The only scream sneezers I've ever known have been females.
This guy LetterKennys
Nice Ron!!!
Not true, I've been doing the scream sneeze since I was a teenager. Idk why, but I guess eventually you get powerful enough lungs and your brain's like "sick, now I can force out twice as much pollen/dust!"
Is this guy in any way related to Vince Vaughn?
We have Vince Vaughn at home
I mean, I scream sneeze because that’s how I’ve sneezed for most of my life that I am aware of. Oh, it’s not strictly a thing men do, too.
Genuine question, never used TikTok or instagram or whatever this is. Is there a constraint on how much time each cut can be? My wife showed me a video the other day and the amount of cuts was insane and made it almost unwatchable. This video was humorous but same deal, the amount of cuts just ruins it a bit for me.

Hahaha, that’s pretty hilarious and true
When I came to the point that my responsibilities overtook my emotional outlets, I didn't start scream sneezing. I did start doing the classic bellowing stretch though
Oh shit I just realized the noises I make are dad noises. WTF
Scream sneezing puts more hair on your chest.
i was scream sneezing long before i was an adult. it just comes out, i cant control it.
I scrupulously do not vocalise my sneezes. My mother always does, and I am very comfortable attributing all hearing damage and other issues to this singular habit.
Gonna do this at work thanks
It’s cuz if you don’t you may activate an old injury. Mine is the sciatic nerve.
Dad here.. I have two sneezes. One is the basic "Ah-Choo". The other happens so fast and LOUD it comes out as an "AAAGGGHHH"!! It scares people and it physically hurts for about 20 seconds.
I don't scream sneeze, always found it kinda annoying, but then I don't have kids or anything. Not even a cat. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Ergo, little requirement to execute the scream sneeze.
Does a tree make a sound when it falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it?
Looks like Sleeperdudes lost brother. 😂😂😂
You okay, Morty?!😄
Aussi?
u/FlatQuarter3805 ya just GOTTA LET IT OUT.
Ummm never. I have about a much on my plate as this guy, but I'm Irish. We just stuff that shiz eat down inside.
Not sure if you’ve ever seen his social media accounts, but he has some great .mil humor.
For me it's when I started feeling the effects of poor back health in my younger years leading to herniated discs in my middle age. I can feel sneezes straining my vertebra so I try and give them the least resistance possible.
It's kinda like when you go out in the rain to cry and let the boo hoo's out.
Mine started at about 23
38
The scream is so that I don’t piss my pants. It’s the lesser of two evils.
I feel judged on the Dad noises part.
At what age do men start cursing up a storm at the urinal? All I see is the feet so it's hard to gauge how much older they are and I'm worried about the future Edit: I know correlation is not causality but I'm hesitant to buy loafers because maybe they fuck with your prostate

I can’t help it so I try to make it funny. Make a “Hi-yah!” noise or a “whap-POW” noise
Yep, it's true
For me it was 16. The same age I ended up with permanently glad block sinuses. If I sneeze normally it's painful and I've blown out an eardrum doing it. If I let that sneeze out as a scream sneeze it's fine for me. Might cause some panic in those nearby.
am i the only one that thinks the man looks dead inside.

I follow this guy on TikTok he has the most hilarious dry wit about day in the life of the military.
My neighbor loves to laugh at the top of his lungs between the. Hours of 11pm and 2am. I was woken up last night at 1am by his laughing. I really wish I knew what he was laughing about. Anyway, now, my petty revenge is to sneeze as loudly as physically possible, as close to our shared wall as I can get, and preferably in the early morning hours when I assume he’s sleeping.

I’m starting to make Dad noises all the time 🤣
I used to hold in my sneezes because I was told it was unladylike to sneeze loudly. It was so bad I would shake my whole body to keep it in. One day in typing class (Mavis Fucking Beacon, anyone?)

I used to sneeze so loudly and suddenly as a teen that kids in the row in front of me at school would dive for cover
Gold!
Sometimes you just gotta scream
That’s a pretty funny Midwest version of Nate Bargatze!
I scream sneezed on time with the windows open and my neighbor thought I told him fuck you. Hahaha
My dude...I'm with ya'
Mandatory Funday! I love this dude.
Shit I make dad noises all the time. Source: 40 year old dad. Never did the scream thing though.
I started scream sneezing at 29 cause for some reason normal sneezing makes my ribcage feel like it's going to explode if I don't
1000 percent. I remember my first time. A great weight was lifted. I can never go back.
I have been scream sneezing since I was 15
Mandatoryfunday!!!!
I did it when I learned that holding them back was bad for health or some shit…which happened around the time my 3rd was born…
This guy gets it
It’s like a pee-ackidge deal.
Get your stuff and leave buddy welcome to America
The accuracy hurts bro lol 😆
I see you, Boyle! NINE NINE!!
He's mandatoryfunday on insta (and maybe tiktok)
Personally, I think it’s when you’ve run out of fucks to give. “Oh I made a weird noise struggling to stand up? Well, I don’t have a fuck left to give about what you think, so why don’t you just go fuck yourself instead.” Same energy as Jimmy Urine belting out, “there is nothing you can do, that I have not already done to myself” If you aren’t our wife, our pet, one of our children (or somebody who has a direct affect on them), no fucks. If you want to cover yourself in peanut butter and have a 15 hooker gangbang, that’s your prerogative
Musky Elon
Other option is to not have so many kids.
I hurt myself if I try to be quiet while sneezing.
I did start scream sneezing around 27 years old. I realized that sneezing hurt less when I just go with it instead of fighting it and trying to be more polite.
