A couple of suggestions for Short term problems.

Crossing your arms 'relieves hand pain'

If you have cramp the squeeze your philtrum hard.
SWMBO passed this tip on to me and I hate to admit it but it worked when, in the middle of the night, I got cramp in my calf.

Philtrum ?

Eyes in the sides of one's head would still be really useful, particularly when driving in French traffic.

Probably explains why there are so many sharks in the second hand car game.

Same as holding your nose when you do not like a pong but lower your target a little.

I pinch my own arm really hard if I'm about to sneeze at an inappropriate moment and it often serves to prevent the sneeze. Flippin' hurts mind. Not sure why that works.

I was in one meeting at work once, when one of the participants suddenly sneezed violently, sending a huge glob of snot onto the whiteboard, where we all watched stunned with fascination as it slid slowly down over the bullet points and think bubbles...

If you have to sneeze do it, don't pinch your nose like some people do.

Whats a bit of snot between friends at least the meeting got interesting.;)

I suspect that forcibly containing a sneeze is potentially very harmfull, like screwing down a safety valve on a steam engine.

Handkerchiefs were invented for these occasions.
