    I'm wondering why in Spain it's considered 'rude' to yawn or stretch when you're out in public. And how rude is it? Is it as bad as scratching yourself or belching would be in the USA?

    Well, i'm European and have always been taught that yawning in public is rude. By showing a sign of tiredness in front of other people, you're implying that their company is boring you. No, it's not as bad belching but scratching yourself? I've never heard that one before.
