Today, I yawned so hard that I dislocated my jaw completely, then had to ask to be excused from class in front of 30 people with my mouth hanging open. FML

I can't stand leg puns! tells us more.

Op here. Well folks, after an interesting chat with a Doc, turns out I don't have TMJ or EDS. I just eat way to much ******* chewing gum, and, after so much, my jaw was slightly moved out of place. So when I yawned, it fell out of place completely, thus the dislocation. FML again, I guess

I'm wondering how did you ask with your jaw hanging open

On the bright side I'm sure you'll have some people very interested in you when you go back

I have the same problem. My jaw dislocated while kissing once! I hope it wasn't too painful for you. I'm sure people understood the situation you were in.

I had the same thing happen to me during a trek. I had to go to the staff's place with a friend in the middle of the night.. Unfortunately we didn't succeed in fixing it so I had to walk in the dark to a location where a paramedic was able to reach by car. He couldn't fix it either so he got me to the hospital in the nearest town. It was only solved there after they used local anesthesia...

I feel your embarrassment, OP. One time I stood up to turn an assignment in, not realizing that my leg was asleep, and almost fell over. The teacher had me sit down in her chair, in front of the class, until my leg woke up.

Weren't you on Bizarre ER? I swear I've heard something like this before...

If you dislocate your jaw your body knocks itself out #doubt

Just run out of the room next time. They're going to be wondering why you're running out like that anyway.

I am now saying, can I be excused?, with my mouth wide open. Strangely enough I could communicate this.

It's possible to talk with a dislocated jaw. It hurts like hell, but it is possible, since the lips, tongue, and vocal chords are still functional. The words a slurred and such, but discernable if the listener can be damned to try to understand.
