do you cover your mouth when you yawn?

Hi rojane. It depends where I am as to whether I cover my mouth or not. When I'm around a lot of people, I tend to cover my mouth, more so I think because I don't really want them to be checking out my fillings,lol!! I think it's worse when I am somewhere and know it's the wrong time to be yawning, so try to stifle it. Ever tried not to yawn, when you really have to?...

i cover it. guess it has been a habit. my mouth is too big if i dont cover it and i scared if i dont cover it, something might drop inside. and it looks ugly when u dont cover it as well. if your mouth too big, u might be mistaken as a hippo.

yawning is not contagious in the sense that you will get germs from yawning like spreading a cold, but it is contagious in that other people might just do it too because they saw you do it. No I don't cover my mouth at home or with friends, but if I am in a place where it would be considered rude, yes I would. For example if I am listening to a lecture and start yawning the poor speaker might think he or she is boring or I am totally uninterested and that would be rude.

I do cover my mouth when I yawn. I even cover it when I laugh or speak too close. LOL! I honestly consider it proper to cover ones mouth.

Well, i cover my mouth when i yawn. It has become a habit since i was young. No matter where am i , many people around or i myself alone, i will still cover my mouth when i yawn. I think it's a basic courtesy and good habit to do it.

I try and cover my mouth.I always figure that people don't want to see what's in my mouth anymore than I want to see what in theirs.

yes. i sometimes yawn as if like i don't want to. hehe.. its a proper etiquette as well right..? covering your mouth while yawning. sometimes i do it even though there's nobody around and say 'excuse me'. =)

For me it has become a habit to cover my mouth when i yawn! Even if i am alone i do this, but not everytime i yawn. I cover my mouth because i like people to guess if i still have my tonsils or not! LOL! Some people yawn and their whole face dissappears! LOL! Take care Rojane.

You are right - yawning is really contagious. I, for the most part, cover my mouth when i yawn. But there are a few times (like when I wake up in the morn) that i yawn without covering my mouth. Im alone at that time so I dont have to bother about what people think. But yeah I guess it is good manners to always cover our mouth when yawning - plus if you yawn outdoors and dont cover a fly might get in :)

Yes, I do cover my mouth. But I am not always successful Sometimes, I forget to do so. sometimes, my hands are busy and the damn yawn came without much warning! But it is good to cover and turn your face away, if possible. covering you face is also safe for you: what if there are flying insects around? If you cover your face, you can be safe from these tiny creatures who may enter your mouth.

I do cover my mouth when i yawn, but sometimes i don't. I see to it that I will cover my mouth when I'm in a public places when some people sorounds me. I think it's a proper etiquette to cover it because when i see someone yawning and i see a big mouth..it makes my mind think that is she/he conscious that someone saw her/him with a big mouth? But if I'm in our house, sometimes I do yawn with a big mouth without covering it...hehehe.. It's a great feeling yawning with a big mouth, do try it. It's relaxing and feeling sleepy...

I try to cover my mouth when I yawn when there are other people around. I find that I yawn quite a lot at work though and my hands are busy and dirty so I don't always. I think it is more from lack of fresh air than boredom that I yawn there though. I think the people I work with mostly are used to it. It is difficult to stifle it but they don't seem to 'catch' it.

Depending where I am. I will cover it if I'm with the crowd. But I don't have to do so if I'm alone or just at the house.

i cover my mouth.. and when i was a child someone told me that yawning with mouth not cover makes someone looks like a monster hahaha.. @_@

Yes I cover my mouth when I yawn.Its a habit even when I am home alone.Seem like its an automatic reaction or something with me.

I always cover my mouth when I yawn, particularly around other people, it's manners and it's a habit. I can't stand when people don't cover their mouths...I don't want your germs. D= I also don't like how some people make sounds when they yawn. It's unnecessary and it's rude.

Not really. I don't see the point anyway. The breath smell can go around the mouth and escape to the outside anyway. But when i'm on my own, I yawn with my mouth open and uncovered.

I do cover my mouth when I yawn. I think it is proper to do so. It is not good to let other people see your big mouth. he he he.

I cover my mouth when I yawn, I don't really find it unethical not to do so but it just isn't that great of a sight to be honest. If I'd wanted to see stuff like that I would have become a dentist.

Alone or among family members and closest friends I do not have to worry about covering my mouth when I yawn. It feels better when you yawn and your mouth is wide open :0) In public places or in a function like attending seminars, meetings, worship services, in a public transportaion, restaurants, ---I cover my mouth so as not to offend the speaker and to show proper decorum in public :)
