Schoolchildren are annoyed when teachers try to keep order, too.

We are not speaking of school children.

Right up there with asking the cop who pulled you over to "hold my beer".

Bullsqueeze!

You are paid a pittance, usually less than 2 hours pay for a full day's work (or more).

Yup. I'm betting hundreds of people have yawned in his courtroom and its been no big deal. Hell, I've yawned while trying cases. This sounds like the juror was giving a big, loud, phony yawn to send a "message" that he couldn't be bothered to help fulfill the Constitutional requirement for jury trials..
