The yawn may or may not have been obnoxious. We don’t really know.



How often do you yawn in public and other people turn around and give you a “look”. It sounds to me like this happens quite often to a lot of people posting on this thread. It’s a legitimate yawn, no big deal, yet other people seem to notice. Maybe its genetic and this student is being unfairly discriminated against.

I wonder if the same student had “gas” if it would be equally loud? I mean come on, its just gas! I’ll bet that student might find a way of letting it “pass” in a non-noticeable way ( at least in the auditory sense).

I’ll be waiting for the thread “Harvard professor out of control–gets angry at students for loud farting.” He asks students to rat out the offender but finds an entire section of the lecture hall passed out.

CCr’s chime in–clinegirl did not hear the ur uhm disturbance, was not disrupted (obviously professor out of control)

220 students are paying (and I mean BIG bucks) for their education, professor should not stop a lecture because he is getting “weird vibrations” from an audience member

What’s a little gas? I’ve smelled a lot worse.
