<p>Another “stop being embarrassed to say something” story:</p>
<p>I was on the UMich campus one day and needed to write down some notes for a meeting I was going to. I went into one of the student union study rooms. It was mid afternoon and quite full with people studying/reading. I got a good table and started working. Nearby a student had nodded off and started snoring very loudly – think freight train. People obviously noticed, a few snickered. But no one did a thing. I got up from my seat, crossed the room and tapped the guy’s foot, gently saying to him: “Psst. You’ve nodded off and were snoring loudly” He awoke, slightly embarrassed and got back to work. People smiled at me. Later I finished my work and the freight train re-entered the room. I packed my bag, looked around and said to everyone in a loud voice: “I woke him the first time. I’m done. Now one of you do it” and walked out.</p>
