WIBU to shove something in her mouth?

[PutyourtoponTrevor]

I wouldn't but it's so tempting. Woman at work will not yawn without fucking yodelling, she yawns a lot and it's driving me fucking mad. I have a tennis ball here, can I use it?

That's entirely unreasonable, I'm shocked. It must be a sock, as in 'put a sock in it!'

She's starting to sound like Tarzan

We have one of those

When she's not yawning she's opining about how tired she is. Why she doesn't just go to bed early is beyond me

Tell her not to! It is very bad manners. Would drive me up the wall, I'd have to say something. As well as telling her it's bad manners, suggest she sounds like she's in an old people's home.

I think we work in the same office. YANBU

TBF she might go to bed early. I have a condition which can cause chronic exhaustion, I can sleep all day and still feel tired when I wake. And yes I still work. And yawn at work. Though I don't yoddle when I do it!

We all yawn but I cover my mouth and do it normally, she never covers her mouth

That's the point, Trevor, yawns should be covered and discreet. Basic manners.

Yikes. I yawn ALL the time, but at least I try to not it without noise and cover my mouth!

lady making the noise definitely needs a sock in it. That would drive me batty!

you don't work with my mum do you? ha ha

Anyone else start yawning reading this?

At my old job, my colleagues actually took a tally one day of how many times I yawned in an hour. It was a bit more than one a minute I think. I have Crohn’s and was exhausted.

Went part time in a different role as that one was killing me

YANBU ...that would drive me insane ...I fucking hate it

I yawn loads and am usually knackered
But I don’t make a noise and I do cover my mouth although home alone now and I don’t think the cat minds if I don’t as I’m lying dozing before night shift

Hahahahahaha she must know how ridiculous she sounds and how annoying she is being! I'd record it and play it for her.

get a water pistol and squirt her clacker next time she does it

This thread made me yawn

Say, good god that looks like the opening of the Mersey tunnel, next time she does it.

Ping pong balls better than tennis. More likely to go in, less likely to cause injury. Too big to be a choking risk.

When my DH sneezes loudly and aggressively we now all copy him and shout 'AH-TCHOO' right back at him. It's working, albeit slowly (lifelong habit).

I like the water pistol idea 😁

You could try and throw smarties in there when she does it

Get an air horn and blast it every time she starts. Like training a pet. She'll learn.

Haha this made me laugh and think of my DM! Don’t think she yodels when she yawns but when she sneezes, the “ooo” of achoo is always really drawn out and sung in a kind of opera style. In recent years it has become accompanied by a (sitting position) high kick. It’s funny but also deeply, deeply irritating.

I’d say something casually like I have no idea who keeps making Tarzan noises but it sounds riDICulous and I wish they’d desist. See what happens, worth a try.

Yes by the third post I yawned haha.

How very witty Winterfellismyhome yet you still felt the need to comment?

I didnt mean it in an arsey way @trevor. I meant the talk about yawning made me yawn...
