In many East Asian cultures, there is a superstition that sneezing is a sign that someone is talking about you, and the number of times you sneeze indicates what is being said. One sneeze: Someone is gossiping or talking about you, Two sneezes: Someone is making fun of you or a bad rumor is circulating, Three sneezes: Someone loves you or it's just a cold, Four sneezes: Tragedy will befall your family.
