Today, a co-worker verbally abused me because I yawned. His excuse was that, "It's contagious". FML

Unreasonable
Today, after finishing work and collecting my bag from my locker, I yawned as my manager came to ask me a question. She yelled at me for yawning. She then told others that I have a chronic yawning problem at work and need medical intervention. I can't even yawn once after a long tiring day on my own time. FML

Today, my older, temporary coworker comments every time I yawn, sneeze, cough, leave my desk to use the restroom, and on what I eat at lunch, laughing the whole time. It’s driving me crazy. Only 8 more weeks. FML

Today, I was asleep and snored so loud that I woke myself up. I was at work and I am now the laughing stock of the office. FML

A-hole
Today, I went back to work after a horrible bout of respiratory illness. After a few hours of using hot tea, cough drops, and tissues to deal with my lingering cough, I found out that my asshole coworker has filed a formal complaint about me disrupting her concentration. FML

All you need is hate
Today, I was told that a coworker of mine absolutely hates me. Why? Because sometimes I have a slight stutter, and he thinks I'm mocking his very apparent stutter. FML

Today, I fell asleep at my desk. It's bad enough that it was for 45 minutes and that I was snoring. What makes it worse? My boss woke me up. FML

I can't take it anymore
Today, I called into work because I was too tired to keep my eyes open. My boss berated me over the phone, saying I should be more like that other employee who came in with a broken toe. That was me. FML

Respect the dead
Today, I got slapped in the face for stifling a yawn at my grandmother’s funeral. I wasn’t being disrespectful; I have a condition. FML

You should have replied "thank goodness stupidity isn't or we'd all be screwed because of you"

It kind of is. But it's not worthy of verbal abuse.

As a pet owner with too much time on my hands some years ago, I experimented and found that I couldn't make my cats "catch" a yawn, but my bird was very susceptible, much like your coworker apparently.

Yawns are contagious

Show him something contagious

As others have said, yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawning, your brain feels the need to mimic the action (at least this is what I've read). But that definitely is no reason to verbally abuse someone! Just tell your co-worker that if he wasnt so busy looking at you instead of doing his work, none of that would've happened.

Yawning is contagious...I am not going into the point of the science behind it but if he brings it to the supervisor they can't really do anything except it off...

It is contagious. At first glance I read your user name and "NapNCook".
