Some professor goes from "Cool Prof" to "Irate Teacher" during his lecture when he hears one of his students yawn too loudly. Apparently this noise pollution has been occurring during too many classes lately, and he's mad as hell and is not gonna take it any more. He threatens that his nasty side is just as bad as his nice side is nice. Hopefully that makes sense. Basically it's "Oh, you want to disrupt my class, Yawny McYawnerson Well, two can play this game! LOUD NOISES!!!"

Here's a video of the professor yelling at his entire class and instructing the offender to take his yawns outside so he'll stop being such a galdarn nuisance:




On one hand, you could posit that the loud yawner was some troll who's been making noise on purpose because he thinks it's funny and wants to be a douche. On the other hand, it could just be a typical college kid who stays up too late and hasn't gotten any sleep, and he's simply tired and struggling to stay awake while the professor drones on in front of 200 students. Your call.

Was the professor's anti-yawn rant justified?

You know, if he flipped out because he saw someone quietly yawning, I'd say it was OTT, but if someone is obnoxiously yawning out loud and disrupting the class, then hell yeah he should lecture them about it.

I agree with @mosquitohawk, that would really annoy me if I was trying to teach. Probably could have made a joke or something about it and handled it better though.

Regardless, the teacher was wayyy over the top. I hope someone can send this to him!

I'm totally on the prof's side. The jerk was being rude, and I hope he got the message. I've been in situations where students were absolute a-holes, and unless the professor decides to "go there," they just get away with it.

At least it wasn't snores!

Posted By Karla,

Sounds like this guy gets yawned at a lot, guess he finally had enough. He could've handled it better though. If the yawn was intentional, the antagonist got what he wanted.
