In every class I took in college, 5-10 minutes to the end, I'd ruffle some papers and zip the zipper on my back pack to end class early because "student close up noises" are contagious. (lemmy.world)

Without fail the class would end a few minutes early. As soon as I started making the sounds it was like dominoes. Ten minutes left in the lecture but everyone has all their stuff put away and are putting their coats on. I think of this often. May this knowledge set you free a few minutes early.

LOL. I've seen that happen many times. One of my classmates also did that intentionally every now and then.

It was a different country, different system etc. so USA specific things didn't apply. I totally get it why everyone here seems to be so outraged about it, but in this case, it was mostly harmless fun.

Here's how it usually went. You make some close up noises, and watch how other students start packing even though we're nowhere near done yet. The point is that you only make the noises, but don't actually put your books in your backpack. People react to that noise, and assume that everyone else is also packing up already. You have effectively triggered an avalanche. Some people eventually started heading for the door, and that's when the teacher realized what was happening, and had to tell everyone to calm down and take a seat.
